really, how so? I cant quite grasp it even though many guys I respect refer to it a lot.
The Bills' level of offensive talent around the QB is about equal as the Chiefs, including one great player having a bit of a downyear (Kelce/Diggs), but Allen hasn't had quite the tumble as Mahomes.
I haven't watched every Bills game this season, but each one I've watched, Josh Allen played great.
He also happens to be the top QB on PFF.
He's mostly been out of the MVP convo because of team record and turnovers, but IMO he's been playing great and after a 4-game win streak the Bills could still win the division this week. When I began hyping #JoshAllen4MVP I said it would be dependent on the Bills winning the division. But since then he has also had two dubs where he didn't have to do much. (Cowboys was due to run game, Patriots due to defense.) So it's been the opposite as earlier in the season when the Bills were losing despite Allen playing great.
Fair enough but I meant why dropback stat specifically favors guys who have better weapons? I didnt see anything referring to teammates in the calculation of dropback, but then again I didnt really get the strengths and shortcomings of EPA dropback.
I think Allen took bit of a step back this year but still a great player, would love to see him under a offensive genius type of head coach lets see what happens with Mcdermott.
