Aaron Rodgers is not number one, right? Patrick Mahomes is
not number one. That's right. We have a new king. We got
a new king. Giddyup, giddyup, giddyup. Josh Allen giddyup,
giddyup, giddyup. It's my boy, blue.
I'm such a dork.
I don't even know what to say.
But Josh Allen is the best quarterback in the NFL right
now. There's no doubt. He is the guy that I would take right
off the bat.
No one has asked
To do more for their team are carry their team, more
on a weekly basis than Josh Allen.
Again, out of the top four quarterbacks were talking about here.
Definitely the least Talent around him. No doubt about it,
it's not even close, everybody. All right, you talk about
the physical ability.
It's arguably the best. It's the strongest, arm and football,
him and Herbert, and Mahomes are the strongest arms in the game.
And I think, when you really ask somebody to just throw it,
all right, if the pocket
It was clean and you said, okay, let's throw it as hard as
we can
Herbert and Allen to me would be really close and interesting
but
Alan when things are awkward or like I gotta move in. Then set
up my feet real quick. He can still throw it extremely hard
where I feel like the other guys, maybe lose just a little
bit,
so it's the best arm in football,
you know, especially most dynamic, maybe that way too.
All right, then
you all wait, the other part of the skill set. I didn't even
get into Mahomes because he's a great Runner to a great
Scrambler. We talked about the pocket thing but Alan other
than Lamar Jackson
is the best running quarterback in football.
There's
this I don't even think that's debatable again, Kyler Marie.
I know, maybe more electric
you're not asking Kyler Murray to run over the middle.
Linebacker on Third and two like they asked Josh hollan to
do like six times a game and then they get in the goal line.
And they're like, you know, we can't really run with a running
back. So,
you'll be the running back and you just get in there.
I mean, no. Nobody
and then like we talked about with the talent around him.
Again, we step on Diggs is the man, we know that
Gabriel Davis
is good. Everybody's got the last game of the year a little
too in their head and they put him in the top 10 wide receiver
conversation and it's like, no, no. He caught 500 yards of
balls. Last year
he was fourth on his own team.
So calm down with like they got this amazing Weaponry. I like
him again. Colby's Lie
by out of there, didn't really matter.
Last year, Emmanuel Sanders
going to be on the new team still, a free agent of this
point. So how great do you think he was a nobody still has
assigned him, right? So that's again. Where
don't just look at the stats and all that because the stats
you're not you're not going to look at him and go. Well, he's
the best quarterback in football, the stats, but its
effect on the game, his own team,
there's no greater.
And then with the physical ability,
it's it's the most physically gifted quarterback in the game
right now. To nobody does more with less. Is that how you
would say? I think It's a great way you describe Tom. Brady,
thank you. When
you did the rankings with, thank you, say nobody can do
more with more one, does more with more right? Give Brady
a cast around him. He will take you up higher than anyone else
would exactly. But Josh Allen
can do it with
anyone with limited you know. It's where I like to vice versa
that be go put Tom Brady in Buffalo or in Cincinnati and
tell me how that's going to go there, right? And that's where,
you know, these guys are special that way that's not
a knock on Brady. It's just that's the way it is.
But yes. I think that's, you know, again,
it's it's, it's they've base the organization like, Mahomes
in Kansas City and just going, we're playing through our
quarterback
and we'll even adjust the way we play defense. And we're just
going to attack you with this guy, and we're never going to
let off the gas pedal. It's just going to be Josh,
Outlander the right, Josh out of the left. Laser down
the middle, laser down the sideline. And to
me where he separates from a homes, a little bit right now is
he can play with in the office. Offense, a little bit more
consistently than my homes. You know, where we talked about,
where I go Mahomes. It's just a little too greedy at times
looking for the big play looking for the splash play.
Why we leaving the pocket? We don't have to,
I Don't Come Away with Josh Allen and doing that.
When the pockets good, the big kicker will just stand there
all day and go I'm here, but he's got a great sense of
going, okay. It's
nobody's openers getting a little hairy. Now it's time for
backyard football and within the pocket. He moves the right
spots there too.
That's where he's really good. And to me, you know, again,
he's a big arm quarterback to where he can get greedy at
times, but
I honestly think he was
he's less greedy than Herbert or Mahomes
and sometimes just gonna, I'm gonna jam it in there,
you know, like I said, he'll
okay. The first guy was an open, Let Me Guide over
the middle of number two. Number three read, boom, bah blah
blah. So to me he's really good in that area to
his weakness is yes. Throwing the ball too hard at times.
There's too many
Balls. Where I go?
Damn, he's six feet from you. This throw it slows, the so it
down a little bit or and he goes, I did. Yeah, I knew he
probably did, I know, right? Well, we gotta still gotta go
slower like, three more notches down
that would be the thing. You know, I would say a little bit
that, you know, maybe too many hits at times are the things
that scare me but man
you know, really it's this is this is a guy that's
been playing really high level football for the last two
seasons.
He rivaled Mahomes even in the 2020 season and I think this
year
is the year. He, he passed them up, just slightly
with again. What I'm saying is being
more consistent, you know, the ability with the legs, I think
a hair better decision maker right now and then the wow and
splash plays
are right there with Mahomes it's right there.
And that's not that's saying a lot because again, Mahomes is
already an all-time great and I think Josh Allen is starting to
go into that. That area to you had Josh Allen at number 2 last
year.
You had him at 18 and 20 20
and you liked it, I liked him. But so this is again,
another example of, like
early in the career, I didn't give enough of these guys. The
Boost of there's gonna be growth here, you know?
And and and I think he's another one of those guys where
I look at to go I didn't bump him up
when I knew the potential and everything and the guy works
hard and all that, like, it's gonna go Up. Don't be so scared
even though it's like not a proven thing. Yet you knew
I knew he was better than that.
And that's what I've tried to learn this year a little bit.
We'll see. I'm even scared with some of the second year like
the Trevor Lawrence and Zach Wilson, and Justin Fields
category because their potential is better than
the low 20s.
And that's, you know, again they could be
a huge jump next year but yes, Alan is
is amazing. He really is and
to tell you how amazing he is again, the leadership
the effect on the team, all that good but McDermott's and
Defensive coach. Yes, and has gone to the dark side and gun.
Let's throw it every play. Let's just let her lose his guys
because he sees the guy every day in practice and goes,
how could we not attack through this guy?
He's trustworthy. And he's unbelievable.
And he can, like Mahomes can almost win games
single-handedly,
like the game. I'll go back to last year
act. There's two of them actually,
you know, again what he did in the Kansas City game in
the loss was This was through the roof good but
nobody does what he did. The New England in the playoffs.
We've never seen anybody do that to Bill Belichick like
nobody like just score with
what they already 747 and took the foot off the gas
and like what through for 80% and ran on them and did it all.
But to me the game that jumps out even more
is the week, 16 game against the Patriots
where their game plan was perfect. Then you break that
game down and you go
the It's should have won the game.
Alan just made like
eight or nine plays where you go.
Whoa, the coverage is perfect. They had him in the backfield,
he escaped and then made some amazing play and you go damn
the Patriots called The Perfect Defense and really executed
really well and they just couldn't overcome the guy.
And I think that's when you saw Bill Belichick start to go oh
s*** this guy's absolutely amazing. But yes he can carry
a team single-handedly and again without like top-tier Talent
compared to the top.
Where I'm glad you brought up the coaches to show McDermott
a defensive guy right now. Join the Dark Side here is
an offensive minded past first coach maybe but a lot of that
could have been brined a ball to you've complimented him.
Yeah. In the past. So he is gone, right? He's the head
coach of your favorite football team? Yeah. It's a guy Ken
Dorsey
in there as the offensive coordinator. I mean, last year
obviously, they were awesome. Finished third in the NFL with
28 points per game. Fifth with almost 400 yards per game
last year.
Brian Day. Ball was good. It's why you got a head coaching
job.
Can
Josh Ellen?
Do it again?
Yes, without him. Yes. But what changes
it to me is this is one of the biggest
under the radar storylines
of the NFL season.
I'm I don't know what to expect, you know, Ken, Dorsey.
This is the first time in this position.
He's really been a quarterback coach for the most part of his
career and like you mentioned
You're working for a defensive mind, you're working for
a defensive minded coach and you know, to your point. I mean
tables, special he's good, he's got two answers and his offense
has a little bit of everything. So
you know and there was pressure on day ball and Josh Allen.
Because I think they knew the way they were playing, whatever
that they needed to, kind of make magic happen on a weekly
basis. So,
you know, I don't know what to expect from Dorsey.
I don't think things are going to change a whole lot,
you know. But I think the big thing is is Is can he just give
Alan a few
schematic along plays or advantages every game like
de-ball did to kind of just like open the rest of
the offense up and that's what I'm going to be interested to see.
I really am
but I wouldn't think they'd change a whole lot except
there's going to be a little bit more. I would think
a little bit more balanced
that they can't just think, Josh Allen can drop Back 40
times a game and run the ball, 12 times a game and just do it
all by himself all the time
to me. They're playing
And with fire to a degree, takes a lot of hits. He takes
a lot of punishment that way.
So that's where, you know, I'm guessing we might see a little
bit more balanced, but I'm interested to see where this
goes up there in Buffalo. But at this time you know Josh
Allen has a few years in the league
Ken Dorsey can just go.
Hey would you do last year? Yeah. Well I hope that's what
I mean. I hope you do see your before, right? He's been there
the last few years. So hopefully
you know the system is not going to change and then
the fact that he's the quarterback coach with Josh on,
I would think. There's great communication, don't. And, and
a lot of ways, sometimes I might be, but it might be one
of those where now, Josh hollan feels a little more
uncomfortable. I mean more comfortable
to go like, hey Ken,
I really like this play. Like, can we find a few more ways to
run it or few different? Formations, or whatever else?
And maybe that could be the positive. But to me, definitely
one of the things to watch early in the years, the Buffalo
offense
and what it looks like under Candor she's leadership. So
going forward the number one spot in your rankings. It
looked like four years. It would be
Patrick Mahomes to lose. Yes, he did lose it. Yeah.
Is it Josh? Allen's to lose now this number one spot.
Thanks.
you know,
I don't want to say to lose because
that would imply that he's got to play bad or something to
lose it
where
I don't know what the top four guys. We just talked about,
I can see you're still playing good and one of them going out
of this world. Good. And we going what, man? Never met Alan
really didn't do a lot to justify dropping
but
burrower herbivore just unreal this year. Like, it's the and,
you know, that I like, so I could see that, you know,
but his physical ability is Talent.
He's learned to play the position, he's learned to be a leader.
You seized clutch
and everything that you need to see is
And now they just need like Mahomes has had and some other
great quarterbacks, the ones that have won Super Bowls.
He just needs a little more support
that to me. Is the biggest thing,
you know, again it's
doesn't have tremendous Playmakers on the defensive
side of the ball, right? And on the offensive side of the ball,
like we talked about to it's I think a little overrated and
Diggs is really the only Blue Chip star
on that side of the ball. James Boyd. Crowder is in.
That'll be great. OJ. Howard is in Tavon, Austin.
As in. Yeah. So yes, hopefully they can do a Crowder. Should
be a really nice addition to the slot. So you got Gabe,
Davis and digs outside and now you got a jitterbug like
Crowder.
And I would think that that's going to be a pretty dangerous
combination and I like Dawson knocks a lot. He's got
the physical ability to be the real deal tight end. He has drop
issues at time. You know he's a little raw and that department
but you know again a lot of good up there in Buffalo and
I loved
the addition of Spiller.
I mean, I'm not Spiller
cook. They had added James Cook down. Uncooked brother at
a Georgia.
I think that's going to be add another nice element to that
offense. So congratulations to Josh Allen. My boy blue number
one, but don't rest on your laurels. That's right. Chris
Sims says, yes. Not yours forever.
It's yours though
in 2022. It is. Congratulations.
My boy blue.
