Josh is good, but he's far from MVP level this year. 

He's close  to surpassing his stats from last year ? And you guys have zero run game .

The offense runs through allen  Including the running game.

In my opinion is an MVP candidate

That statistical comparison is a good demonstration of the reason that you can't just rely on stats.  Anyone who has watched the Bills this year has seen JA have a number of lousy games.  He's not been nearly as good as he was last year.

Does anyone have a similar breakdown of the Bills' red zone percentage last year vs this year?

He didn’t win MVP last year, and pretty much all of those stats are slightly worse. 3% worse completion percentage, less yards on more attempts, worse td%, higher int%. 

[sabresparaavida]

What does help his case though, is his running has been better (outside of TDs) averaging almost 2 more yards per attempt.

Do you think Lamar Jackson has been better than Allen, because that's really the question. 

[inkman]

The pro bowl is a popularity contest. No need to get your panties in a bunch about it. Josh already got paid so it won’t affect his next contract.

'Lousy' is a pretty relative term.

But many people seem to define it simply as "he lost"

I agree that the Lamar comparison is relevant if it’s an MVP discussion, but if the discussion is whether the Bills are good enough to make a deep playoff run, I think the answer, based on how JA has played against good teams this year, is no.

Well, I’m sure some people do define it that way, but I don’t think that’s the case among the erudite Bills fans that populate this board.

IMHO, in order for the Bills (or most other teams) to go deep in the playoffs, the QB has to deliver consistently excellent play.  JA hasn’t lived up to that standard against good teams this year.

YMMV, of course.

Wins are not a QB stat.

The Chiefs are calling, they want to know if they are a good team.

You changed the question. 

Is Lamar Jackson more worthy of the pro bowl than Josh Allen, is Lamar better?

BTW, idc about the pro bowl. It's boring and I've only ever watched highlights because it's boring.

I don't know one human that cares about the game.  The only thing people seem to care about is who is voted in, which is stupid because people are not objective.

Considering how lousy our oline play has been this year, I think he might be playing better. I definitely don't think he's regressed. Get him a good line and maybe get Gabe Davis involved all year and the numbers would be vastly better.

You're not wrong, Josh has had a few games this year that we're not good. The year to date stats might be similar, but I expected more consistently good weeks building off of last year and have been somewhat disappointed with him. Still a really good QB, was just hoping for more.

No. Lamar has had a poor season.

I really gotta question some things at OBD.  Josh Allen leading the NFL in YPC and your offensive wizard doesn’t think to have him run the ball in the worst weather elements all season?  Gave Davis, who continually looks like WR2 getting relegated to WR4 because…? Your O-line can’t block anyone in pass pro so you never give them help, ever (extra blocker, rolling pocket, etc).  McDermott does some nice things but he’s far from infallible.

Maybe having possibly the worst offensive line in football and we're looking at Josh? He's fine and a few of his receivers as well. The rest of the offense and coaching has sucked.

Gabe had more snaps than any other receiver last game. More than Diggs, even.

It shouldn’t have taken injuries to get your second most talented receiver on the field.

One injury, to Sanders. And Gabe was just behind Diggs the week before (against Tampa), with Sanders in the lineup.

This is absurd honestly. Who do we have on the Covid list now? Beasley, Ford, Dawkins, Davis...am I missing anyone? Allen is going to die Sunday unless the Patriots get hit with Covid

It's getting ugly.  Not as bad as the 'Aints, who are taking that little nickname seriously.  But still bad.
