Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is arguably the most polarizing player in the NFL- you either spit on him every chance you get or you'd die defending his honor. 

Allen is in the midst of a historic run. He's scored 40 total touchdowns in each of the last four seasons, making him the first player in NFL history to do so. However, that didn't stop PFF from ranking Allen outside of the top three quarterbacks in the NFL.

Allen was ranked fourth, a position that while high, is still too low.

"Allen led the NFL in big-time throws last season (playoffs included), with 41," PFF analyst Trevor Sikkema wrote. "Despite pushing the ball downfield as much as he did, he still kept his turnover-worthy play rate at 2.9% — a career best. He also added the second-most first-down rushes (66) and most rushing touchdowns (18) of any quarterback.

"Allen is a unicorn of athletic gifts for the position with size, speed and strength. Yes, he’ll make some mistakes, but his ceiling is as high as it gets for the position, and he shows it weekly."

While Sikkema only had positive things to say about Allen, he was still ranked below Joe Burrow (3) and Lamar Jackson (2), which I just frankly disagree with. Jackson shrinks in the biggest moments when Allen rises to the occasion. Allen has more than double the playoff wins of Jackson, and is 1-0 in playoff matchups against the Ravens' quarterback. 

Regardless, Allen has an entire season to continue showing everyone that he is one-of-one, and I'd expect another mammoth year to come in 2024.
