Which NFL quarterbacks should be ranked ahead of Baker Mayfield?
By Nick Swanson
Josh Allen – Buffalo Bills
Trade Possibility: No way
The man that put Firebaugh, California on the map. Your 2020 NFL MVP runner-up and the most popular man in Buffalo, New York, Josh Allen.
Allen took a massive leap this past season and solidified himself as one of the best quarterbacks in the league. At only 24-years old, Allen put up an MVP-caliber season and led the Buffalo Bills to their best record since 1991, the second Jim Kelly Super Bowl. In 2020, Allen broke the Buffalo Bills’ records for passing yards in a season (4,544) as well as passing touchdowns in a season (37). He also threw the fewest interceptions in a full season in team history (9 in 16 games).
Allen’s arm strength is only matched by Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes. He’s one of the best rushing quarterbacks in the NFL, behind Lamar Jackson. His performance in 2020 helped lead the Bills to the AFC Championship, earned him his first career Pro Bowl nod, and put him in the top tier of passers.
After reaching their first AFC Championship since 1993, the Bills go into the offseason looking to build on the AFC powerhouse that they have in order to reach the Super Bowl.
