Where does Buffalo Bills passer Josh Allen rank in ESPN's recently published NFL quarterback rankings?
ESPN has filled the lull of the 2024 NFL offseason with a series of NFL-executive polled positional rankings, a collection of articles in which reporter Jeremy Fowler surveyed executives, coaches, and scouts around the league and asked them to rank the top 10 players at each position. The most heavily anticipated entry of the series was released on Monday morning,
“Allen's blend of brilliance and inconsistency has left voters with mixed feelings,” Fowler wrote. “He received the only first-place vote that didn't go to Mahomes -- yet was outside of the top five for several voters.”Discourse amongst surveyed league employees seems similar to that of NFL fans this offseason—some highlight Allen’s impact on the team and prowess with both his arms and legs, while others get hung up on his turnover troubles.
“Allen's 47 interceptions since 2020 are the most in the league. ‘One of the more overrated players in the NFL,’ a veteran NFL executive said. ‘Immense talent but he makes a lot of mistakes. He's underdeveloped at winning at the line of scrimmage, tends to lock on to targets, more of a thrower than precision passer, forces throws into traffic.’”
The above analysis from the “veteran NFL executive” seems more fitting of the Allen of old—perhaps 2019—than it does of the Allen of today. Allen, sure, still makes the occasional bone-headed decision, but the critique of his football IQ—which has been a quietly oft-used criticism over the past several years—is just as inaccurate now as when it first reared its head.
