Not at all. It was yet another way to look at just how much the Bills need Allen. If Kyle Allen (their backup) had to play? I wouldn't trust them to get a single win without games like yesterday, where the defense dominated and the RB stole the show.
Personally, my #1 and #2 are Purdy and McCaffrey, even though they're on the same team. I think it sucks that CMC probably has no chance at it. But for #3? Yeah, I might put Allen there.
LOL QB1 is highly important to almost all NFL teams. And esp. if you're talking about a legit star QB like Josh Allen. He's not replaceable, and salary cap economics alone makes it very difficult for most teams to field a competent backup. Honestly, I've never quite figured out why QB2 usually sucks so badly, but once in a while you see a Jake Browning play well so it's certainly possible. (And rarely, the backup permanently earns the starting job.) I mean, please don't be like that clown in the previous NFL thread that literally said after the last Super Bowl that the Chiefs would have not been successful without Patrick Mahomes.
Like I said, Allen should be in the conversation. But since team record is such a big part of the voting, you look like a biased homer if you think he should be #3. If you want to say he's #3 if
we ignore team record, then say that. But using an obscure scoring stat does not help make your case. I mean, should I say that Jalen Hurts accounts for 80% of his team's offensive TDs, and leads a 10-4 team so he
should also be in the "most valuable" conversation NOW? Hell no, that would be crazy talk.
As of right now, I'd say there are at least 2 other QBs (not named Brock Purdy) that have just as good an MVP case as Josh Allen:
Dak Prescott (I know, don't laugh)
Tua
Lamar Jackson
Patrick Mahomes
I've listed 4, but 2 is the floor because below Purdy, there just isn't a clear standout. Note Jared Goff would make it 5, but I'll let
@KMFJD make that case.
