The idea that Josh Allen is overrated? It’s pure nonsense. Anyone with even a basic understanding of football can see that. We’re talking about a quarterback who’s already put himself in the conversation as one of the best to ever suit up in the postseason, and yet somehow, critics still try to tear him down. Let’s cut through the noise and face the facts—Josh Allen is an elite quarterback, and labeling him "overrated" is nothing short of absurd.

Take Week 1 of the 2024 season against the Arizona Cardinals. The Bills got off to a rocky start, with Allen fumbling early and the defense struggling to contain Kyler Murray. But as we've seen time and time again, Allen didn’t let the early setbacks define the game. Instead, he took over, throwing for two touchdowns and rushing for another two, leading the Bills to a 34-28 victory. Without him, Buffalo doesn’t come close to winning that game. His ability to make something out of nothing, extend plays, and lead the team when the pressure is on is exactly what makes him one of the best in the league. His game-saving scramble in the fourth quarter, ending with him leaping over defenders for a touchdown, is something only a handful of quarterbacks in history could even think about doing.

People love to throw around the "turnover-prone" label when talking about Allen, and sure, he’s had his share of turnovers. But what those critics fail to see is how Allen consistently compensates for them with incredible, game-changing plays. You’ll hear about the fumbles, but not about how Allen racked up 232 passing yards, 39 rushing yards, and four total touchdowns to turn the game around. His 4:1 touchdown-to-turnover ratio in that game should silence the doubters, but it never seems to be enough for some.

And when it comes to the playoffs? Allen has been nothing short of legendary. Just look at his postseason stats:

In his playoff career, Josh Allen has totaled 3,286 yards, 27 touchdowns, and just 6 turnovers. He boasts a 64.6% completion percentage, a 100.0 passer rating, and holds the lowest interception percentage for any QB with 20+ playoff touchdowns. Allen ranks 2nd in total touchdowns in his first 10 playoff games (behind Mahomes) and has the most total yards. He’s also been the Bills’ leading rusher in 6 of his 10 playoff games.

His 2021 playoff duel against Patrick Mahomes is already considered one of the best quarterback performances in NFL history. Allen has shown up in every big moment, yet somehow, the "overrated" chatter keeps coming.

Here’s the truth: Allen is one of the most complete quarterbacks we’ve seen in years. His arm strength, athleticism, and sheer will to win are unmatched. He’s the heart and soul of the Bills, the reason they’re consistently in the playoff conversation, and the key to their success. Any talk of him being overrated isn’t just wrong—it’s laughable. You don’t have to dig deep into advanced metrics or stats to see it. Just watch the games, and it’s clear as day.

Josh Allen isn’t just one of the best quarterbacks in the league. He’s one of the best quarterbacks of his generation, and the Bills are lucky to have him. Anyone still clinging to the idea that he's overrated is either not watching or choosing to ignore the greatness happening right in front of them.
