Buffalo Payments quarterback Josh Allen is giving no credence to claims that he receives an excessive amount of reward.
In a current ESPN ballot of 103 nameless NFL gamers, Allen was voted probably the most overrated QB within the league. He addressed the survey throughout a Wednesday interview with Sirius XM’s Mad Canine Sports activities Radio.
“My response is, I am not mad that 11 gamers not on my group do not like me. In order that’s primary,” Allen mentioned. “I really suppose that is a time period of endearment. When different gamers do not like me, which means I am doing one thing the proper means. I’m mad at, nonetheless, that I am by no means, ever invited to take part in these nameless surveys. In order that’s the place I discover this irritating. I wanna be part of these surveys, too, and provides my enter as nicely.”
Allen added he wish to obtain a hyperlink to the subsequent nameless survey and plans to proceed taking part in the sport “the way in which [he knows] learn how to play it.”
The most important criticism of Allen is he is mistake-prone. In keeping with NFL.com’s Kevin Patra, he has 102 turnovers in six seasons with the Payments, probably the most within the NFL. In 2023, he threw a career-high 18 interceptions in 17 video games.
Nevertheless, his willingness to take dangers is one motive he is a two-time Professional Bowler. Final season, he tied for fifth within the league in landing passes (29) and ranked third in QBR (69.6).
Since drafting Allen No. 7 total in 2018, the Payments have made 5 playoff appearances. From 2000-17, Buffalo earned one postseason berth.
“That is ludicrous,” ESPN’s Kevin Clark mentioned of gamers voting Allen probably the most overrated QB on an episode of “Across the Horn.” “Josh Allen authored top-of-the-line franchise and quarterback tales of this period.”
In April, Buffalo dealt four-time Professional Bowl vast receiver Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans. If Allen helps the Payments win their fifth consecutive AFC East title with a weaker receiving corps, he ought to garner much more respect and quell some skeptics.
