latest stat shows exactly why josh allen is nfl mvp not lamar jackson

The Buffalo Bills are off to their best start through 11 games in over 30 years, which is especially wild considering many thought they'd take a step back to the Dolphins and Jets after... Buffalo sits at 9-2 for a number of reasons, the biggest of which being No. 17 under center being the best player in football. And while many were practically engraving Lamar Jackson's name into the 2024 MVP Award for the last several weeks, Josh Allen has proven that he is the one who should be crowned as the... However, it is a different stat that shows just how great Allen is compared to just about every other quarterback in the NFL. Ahead of Week 11, Judah Fortgang of Throwthedamnball released a chart comparing the accuracy of quarterbacks with the average separation rate of their receivers.

Josh Allen came in as one of the most accurate quarterbacks in football while his receivers produce a bottom three separation rate. This means that despite having consistently tight windows to throw into, Allen has been supremely accurate in doing so. Meanwhile, Lamar Jackson's pass-catchers have the highest separation rate in the NFL.

Allen is the heart that keeps the Bills alive, and he is the MVP of the NFL.

Josh Allen was named MVP of the NFL Thursday night, and predictably, social media platforms exploded and several of the bloviating morning talk show hosts were up in arms over what they perceived to... As Buffalo Bills fans proudly rejoiced because their guy became just the third winner of the award in team history, joining O.J. Simpson in 1973 and Thurman Thomas in 1991, outside Bills Nation you would think a crime against humanity had been committed when the Associated Press voting bloc denied Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson his... The question I have on this Friday is, why are so many people so enraged over this? You would think the voters handed the award to Bills backup quarterback Mitch Trubisky rather than Allen. I don’t have a vote on the award, but if I did, Allen would have been my choice last year when he absolutely deserved it instead of Jackson, and this year as well, and...

Believe me, that is not the case. Allen was the MVP this season, and the key letter in that acronym is the middle one, the one that stands for “valuable.” Josh Allen has finally done it. He was declared as the Associated Press’ NFL MVP for the 2024-25 season on Thursday. He beat out the likes of Lamar Jackson and Jared Goff as he etched his name in the league’s history books. This season was supposed to be a rebuild for the Buffalo Bills.

When they started their season with three straight victories, not many were surprised considering they were playing against not-so-great opponents. Then came two losses against Super Bowl hopefuls, which again did not have many batting their eyelids. After those two games, the Bills regrouped and won five straight. Even then, many thought they were just benefitting from their opponents’ struggles. Then came the famous win against Patrick Mahomes‘ Kansas City Chiefs and suddenly the league sat up to take notice. Allen’s bulldozing runs along with his pinpoint precision in the passing game handed the Chiefs their first loss of the season.

He continued to show his elite skills against the San Francisco 49ers, Los Angeles Rams and the Detroit Lions. All that effort helped his Bills to finish the season with a 13-4 record and second in the AFC. No one saw this team doing that.

(AP Photo/Brynn Anderson) NEW ORLEANS (AP) — For the past 11 seasons, being named the AP first-team All-Pro quarterback was a prelude to winning the NFL’s MVP award. There was some logic to that with quarterbacks providing the most value to a team and the same panel picking the All-Pro team and all of the awards.

There was a rare flip this year with Buffalo’s Josh Allen narrowly edging Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson in the MVP voting announced Thursday night after finishing second in All-Pro voting revealed last month. The rivalry between the Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills has grown over the last half-decade, in large part because of their quarterbacks. Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson are solidified superstars, but many still cling to a belief that Jackson is better than Allen. However, one NFL analyst points out why this is not the case. Matt Verderame of Sports Illustrated did a quarterback rankings predicting how quarterbacks would perform in 2025. He had Allen at No.

2 and Jackson at No. 3, citing that Allen doesn't have the help that Jackson does. "Allen gets the nod over Jackson, largely because he’s proven to do almost as much statistically with far less," Verderame writes. "Last season, Buffalo’s starting receivers were Keon Coleman and Mack Hollins, with Khalil Shakir in the slot. Shakir led the team with 821 yards. Coleman caught just 29 passes and Hollins is now on the Patriots after leaving in free agency.

At tight end, Dalton Kincaid was a disappointment after a good rookie season, catching 44 passes for 448 yards and two touchdowns." The fact that Allen dragged the Bills to within mere plays of the Super Bowl with one of the worst supporting casts in the NFL is exactly why he was the MVP in 2024... He didn't have a near 2,000 yard rusher behind him. He didn't have a long list of All-Pros on either side of the ball. And yet, he still defeated Jackson in the postseason for the second time. Allen is the closest thing to Mahomes in the NFL, and it's getting harder and harder for anyone to argue otherwise.

There are a handful of games remaining in the NFL regular season, but the race for the MVP award realistically ended in Week 13. The Buffalo Bills were supposedly bound to regress in 2024 with pundits going as far as proclaiming the team's window as a contender had been slammed shut. With plenty of experts seemingly eager to select the Miami Dolphins or New York Jets as the AFC East's top team, the Bills steadily marched to a fifth consecutive division title. Locking it up on December 1, Buffalo was the first team to clinch a 2024 division crown. There has been no man more valuable to the Bills' exploits than quarterback Josh Allen. While Baltimore Ravens' Lamar Jackson has been nothing short of marvelous this season, he has not faced circumstances as challenging as those that Allen has conquered.

Jackson's aggregate stat totals are slightly higher than Allen's, but observers must put the cumulative numbers into perspective. It's important to note that Allen has been pulled on multiple occasions in the second half throughout the season with his time on the sideline amounting to the equivalent of four full quarters. NEW ORLEANS (AP) — For the past 11 seasons, being named the AP first-team All-Pro quarterback was a prelude to winning the NFL’s MVP award. There was some logic to that with quarterbacks providing the most value to a team and the same panel picking the All-Pro team and all of the awards. There was a rare flip this year with Buffalo’s Josh Allen narrowly edging Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson in the MVP voting announced Thursday night after finishing second in All-Pro voting revealed last month. This marked just the third time since the AP started handing out the Most Valuable Player award in 1961 that a player won at least a share of the MVP after not being voted...

(The AP had a Most Outstanding Player award from 1957-60 and those winners also were first-team All-Pros). Let’s start with the All-Pro votes where Jackson had the edge. He received 30 of the 50 first-team All-Pro votes from a national panel of media members and 19 second-place votes. Allen got 18 first-place and 24 second-place votes, while Cincinnati’s Joe Burrow got the last two first-place votes, along with nine second-place votes. Many NFL fans presumed Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson would win his second consecutive MVP award in 2024 after being named the league's All-Pro first team quarterback. Instead, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen surprisingly edged Jackson to win his first-ever MVP award.

Allen became just the third player in NFL history to win MVP without making the All-Pro first team. The other two were Denver Broncos quarterback John Elway, who beat All-Pro quarterback Joe Montana for the award in 1987, and Tennessee Titans quarterback Steve McNair, who shared the award with Indianapolis Colts quarterback... How did Allen pull off the win? Some of the voters split their votes, with Jackson getting the All-Pro nod and Allen earning their MVP vote. Among those to take that approach was ESPN's Dan Orlovsky. The former NFL quarterback explained that he differentiated his vote based on "the value that the player brought to their football team."
