He’s second in QBR to purdy by .1 The fact that he’s even remotely close is laughable given the two situations. Could you even imagine Allen with mccafrey, kittle, deebo, and aiyuk. Not to mention an upgrade at line and OC. Allen clears him easy.
Let’s move to Lamar. For reference he is 8th in QBR. While he has a good record. He has the #1 defense by a wide margin. Buffalo is 4th, SF 3rd. But Baltimore is 1.4 points ahead of second which is quite significant. Allen has a better TD to turnover ratio by a good margin. Allen responsible for 83% of Buf TDs to Lamar’s 52% Allen clears easy
Dak. 2nd to Allen in EPA and 3rd in the league in QBR. First worthy qb contender. But comparing weapons obviously cowboys have better weapons. The lines aren’t comparable. Allen is pressured far more than dak. 3% more. Tbf purdy does too. But Allen doesn’t have the weapons the other qbs have to go through progressions so quickly.
The bills second most targeted play is Gabe Davis and Kincaid a rookie tight end tied. It’s laughable. Every team in the nfl is at 15+ drops except the 49ers, who have 7. The ravens have 18, bills 27, cowboys 32.
If you wanna give the mvp to cmc or tyreek it’s a harder argument, cause of different positions. But Allen clears those 3 qbs with ease. He doesn’t have the #1 defense. Or an all pro offense like purdy. Dak is more comparable but statistically and eye test Allen still outshines him in a worse situation.
