Breaking news:Bills fans react to QB Josh Allen’s ridiculous placement on…..
The NFL released its annual Top 100 Players list, which is voted on by the players that make up the league, to occupy the final days before its first preseason game of the 2024 NFL season. The news on Wednesday that quarterback Josh Allen was the 12th-best player in the NFL may have irritated Buffalo fans.
It just doesn’t make logic in this universe or any other. Allen is an objective worldbeater, a really gifted signal-caller who regularly and successfully outmaneuvers defenses in a variety of inventive ways. Being the only player in league history to score more than 40 touchdowns in four straight seasons, he has been nominated for NFL MVP in three of the last four seasons.
Given the prominence of the position in the modern NFL, he should be ranked in the Top 10 of any Top 100 list because he is, by all measures, one of the top three (probably the top two) quarterbacks in the league. Seemingly not.
While it’s hard to get too worked up over a player coming in at No. 12 instead of somewhat higher, Allen’s ranking still shows how underappreciated he is. Even among his peers and national analysts, he is still regarded as an underappreciated passer who routinely carries his side to victory. The Bills Mafia took to social media to express their discontent after receiving news of his rating, which did not go down well.
Allen will aim to move up the list even further the following year by having a successful 2024 campaign. Anything less than a Top 10 ranking would be outrageous if he can lead a motley crew of pass catchers to peak output. He’ll have to do this with a redesigned, inexperienced receiving corps that lost Gabriel Davis and Stefon Diggs in the summer.
Yet when it comes to the second-best player in the NFL, Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills, it’s difficult, if not impossible, to write him off. After finishing in the Top 5 MVP race in 2023, Allen found himself ranked No. 12 overall in the usually perplexing NFL Top 100 voting rankings.
Three edge rushers, a defensive tackle, and an offensive tackle 36 years old are among the intriguing players placed ahead of Buffalo’s franchise field general. NFL Media released the names of the Top 10 finishers with the order to be published on Friday, August 2. Really? A quarterback in the prime of his generation ranked lower than an offensive lineman in the latter stages of his career? That is really offensive. What comes next? Allen ranked lower than a fullback?
