Thanks for all the input.
For me the most surprising result of the poll is how few votes Allen garnered.
He's 27 coming off three year averages of 4,400 yards passing, 36 pass TDs with 648 yards rushing and 7 rush TDs.
His team added talent in the passing game and on the offensive line and he has no significant injury history.
Over the last three years he has finished as QB1, QB1 & QB2.
But he got less than 20% of the votes.
Isn't he the most likely to have a top 3 finish?
The only negative I have read in here is a general feeling that the Bills' window is closing.
Does anyone have a clear argument against Allen?
If we are being fair, Allen has been QB1 in each of the last 3 seasons. The only reason he wasn't #1 last year was because he had a game cancelled due to his teammate almost dying. Its not like we can blame Allen for that.
I had Allen #1, and I'm blown away he's 3rd. He's more proven than Hurts, has more upside than Mahomes, and did much of it last year playing though an injury to his throwing elbow. Allen was on pace for 5100-38 passing and 900-8 rushing before that injury, and likely has better weapons now.
I think its very fair to group the 3 together, but its Allen>>Hurts>Mahomes in my opinion.
ETA: Allen's last 3 seasons are better than any 3 cherry picked seasons from Manning or Brady's career fantasy wise, and as good as any 3 Rodgers seasons. Is it the coming up short in the NFL playoffs that knocks him in people's minds?
