Josh Allen of the Bills, Still Underappreciated, Enters a New QB Tier
Josh Allen, the quarterback for the Buffalo Bills, had a memorable 2024 season after winning the NFL MVP award following an outstanding regular season. Even though the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes defeated the Bills in the postseason once more, the Bills Mafia had a lot to be happy about. Along the way to 40 touchdowns and just 11 total turnovers, Allen reeled in his turnovers and turned into a machine of efficiency both on the ground and in the air. Joe Brady’s offense was explosive. Allen had such a strong season
that he established himself as one of the NFL’s top players. Allen is ranked No. 3 on Dan Pizzuta’s quarterback rankings list for the 33rd Team, in the “Makes Life Easier” category alongside Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson. “Allen’s presence alone sets a high floor, making it easier to build around him,” adds Pizzuta. “The Bills might be more likely to keep course and allow the young players to develop at receiver, but as we saw with the Amari Cooper trade, Buffalo is not averse to taking a swing at a potential No. 1 if available.” Buffalo’s “everybody eats” strategy worked well in 2024,
and they may double down, but the Bills need to add more offensive bite in 2025 with Joe Brady. Related: James Cook’s replacement on the Bills’ emergency running back list Allen could use another reliable option in the passing game, whether it’s for a guy like Tee Higgins, who will be at the top of the free agency food chain, or perhaps someone like Deebo Samuel, who might fetch less money. But hold on a second. Allen is only ranked third on this list, despite having just won MVP? Is the MVP likewise “underrated”? In any case, he makes things simpler for the Bills with No. 17, and anyone is on the field with him is elevated. The Bills Mafia is hoping that 2025 will be the year when the team finally surpasses its postseason ceiling.
