Allen gets deer in the headlights like Kap. Game gets too big for him imo. He gets too emotional, Purdy doesn't.

Yeah that backwards fumble in the Bronco game was hilarious. I know it was a bad look for him at the moment but the Bills in general aren't all that great to begin with. Allen does literally everything for that team and they wouldn't have made it that far without him.

They don't make it farther due to him also

He's literally carried that team on his back for years. I've not seen another QB in the legue carry the load that he does.

Maybe you didn't watch two QBs on the 49ers last year

Allen is elite and the best QB in the league in my opinion. Love Brock but not in the same class.

Correct. I love Brock but there isn't a niners coach/front office guy OR fan that wouldn't trade Brock + more for Allen.

My only thing with Allen is he still hasn't proven he can be a pure passer. I understand the floor is higher with him with a less talented team, but who cares if you obviously still have to build a team around him in order to win?

And the better the team you build, the more you might want a guy who can stand there and play point guard like Brees Manning or Brady. I know I'd want them running my talented offense way before I want jack of all trades Josh Allen running around out there. They might not be the ones running it in at the goal line, but they don't need to. They can play pure quarterback

And I'm not putting Brock ahead of him or anything, just saying we put a lot of value into the qb who can do everything, but that kinda loses its value the better your offense gets and could actually hinder its potential if the jack of all trades powerhouse qb can't drop back and play point guard

A lot depends on the system you're in and what the OC expects from you. Allen has had 4 different OCs. Purdy has had Kyle his entire career. That makes a difference. Allen was also much less polished when he came out of college so he had a lot to learn. Purdy had 4 solid years starting at Iowa State.

Allen with KS and the roster Purdy has had since coming into the league would be an absolute cheat code. Lamar wouldn't be as good as Purdy has been.

more often than not, Josh Allen has proven he possesses the choker's gene, not the clutch gene. not sure scheme can fix that.

Meh...that's a take I guess but if you dig into it when you get your team a lead with 13 seconds left and you lose that game is that a choking gene?

I think scheme definitely fixes things as well by making his normal much better which reduces the need for him to be superman. We know he can be that but when you're forced to do that more often the chances of mistakes on those types of plays go up.

Regardless...I'm very happy with Brock as our QB and I believe he will continue to improve just like Allen and Lamar did. He will just always be limited due to the physical traits but similar with what I said about Josh above, if Brock executes the normal at a high level, there is no need for the superman stuff(even though he can do some of that as well just no at the levels of those guys)

He just needs to stay healthy. Biggest thing.

Idk if it's poor play calling or Josh Allen's decision making but I've seen a handful of play off games where they have a chance to win it and Allen just keeps throwing it super deep, which obviously fails. It's like 1st and 10 and he tries to go 60 yards… you have time, build a drive.

Although I still think Josh Allen is a top 3 qb and very very good. Idk if I'd say he has the "choke" gene but I've seen him make poor decisions at the end of the game.

Do you think Allen is calling those plays? I doubt it. The OC makes the calls. Allen had 3 TD passes and none were over 14 yards. He ended up with a 90 rating largely because he threw 2 INTs. He was sacked 3 tmes by a good b Bronco defense. The Bills lost the game prtly because of a very questionable call at the end.

The fumble by Allen before halftime lost them the game but that's 100% on the HC for making the decision to run a play there. Absolutely idiotic.

16 seconds left and you have no timeouts on your own 30...just terrible coaching. As bad as the bread loaf holding fumble was I understand Allen trying to make a play because with 16 seconds left and no timeouts that's literally the only thing you can do that would be a positive. All risk, insanely small reward.

Shanahan would've never done that.

New QB rankings by "execs, coaches, and scouts" are out. Purdy is outside the top 10 in the honorable mentions. I believe I read he was in a close 3 person group just outside


Lots of good QB play in the NFL right now so I can't hate on this too much. I just don't get the love for Goff. Very good QB and maybe my rankings are unique but I don't see really a single thing he does better than Brock. Maybe a slightly better arm but worse mobility and dude crumbles with poor pass pro around him or lack of weapons.

Injuries always snub our guys in these types of lists

Mahomes's last two seasons have been ordinary

this stuff drives the pseudo sports news cycle but it's not real football, qb rankings are fake
every QB is in a different system, with different teammates, its about playing the hand you are dealt.
goff has a fortress OL and weapons all over the field, in a dome, so he should be doing well. i guess if you wanted a taller guy more prototype to drive the ball to wide open dudes while having plenty of time, goff is your man. me personally im happy with brock. brock is a lot better when the play breaks down that's where jared tends to get exposed

A list of the top ten QBs in the league from a guy at ESPN. I would take Purdy over Prescott all day every day. I'd take him over Herbert, and I'd take him over Goff. I just think he's better than Prescott. He probably processes information faster and better than Herbert and he's more athletic than Goff. Maye and Williams are certainly dynamic young players, so it will be interesting to see where they're at a few years down the line.

Jackson and Allen are good athletes, and both have made notable strides in their passing since they came into the league, but where has it gotten them, or more specifically where has it gotten their teams other than getting both of their head coaches fired last year. And no, before everyone gets their panties in a twist, I'm not saying Brock is better than they are, but he does have one thing neither of them have, which is a Super Bowl appearance. He might have had two by now if it weren't for the injury in the Eagles game.

Burrow is kind of an enigma to me because he plays on such a bad team and has been injured a lot. I've never liked Stafford much. He throws a great ball but is one of those guys who wilts under a decent pass rush and starts making a lot of dumb plays to avoid getting hit. Hopefully, Brock will be able to stay healthy all year and play well enough to shut-up some of the naysayers, though they'll always be out there. I guess that's just the price you pay for being the last pick in the draft. Go Niners!!

1. Josh Allen, Buffalo Bill
2. Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs
3. Matthew Stafford, Los Angeles Rams
4. Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals
5. Lamar Jackson, Baltimore Ravens
6. Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys
7. Justin Herbert, Los Angeles Chargers
8. Drake Maye, New England Patriots
9. Jared Goff, Detroit Lions
10. Caleb Williams, Chicago Bears

one thing about brock is he's gotta stay healthy he won't make many of these lists if he's injured or only playing 10 games

by that standard why would burrow, prescott or lamar make the list? they have missed plenty of time due to injuries.

These rankings are more like wish lists for NFL execs and coaches. They don't reflect actual performance. More about traits than stats. Being just outside the top 10 isn't a bad thing. The difference between 13 and 10 is probably pretty close.
