Just goes to show that you can't just go by the blind stats. Just in the games I've ssen, I'd take Allen over Jackson for sure and probably above Burrow.

I've said it before and will say it again.
Allen is the only QB in football who's A game can stand toe to toe with Mahomes A game.
And if he has fewer and fewer of the B and C games, he'll be at the same level as PM.
Prior this season, the real distinction between the two was that PM just never had games where he shot his own guys out of the game. His B games were a little less frequent than Allen, as were his C games. His D and F games were virtually non-existent.
That's not really the case anymore. Right now, Allen is an equally dangerous QB.
We'll see if that remains the case when the post-season gets here. But history says that Allen is about the only guy in the league who can reasonably claim that his post-season performance is on the same level as PMs. Especially the more mature version of him that's been around the last couple of years (not the hyperactive one that killed them a few years back agains the Texans).
Allen's a remarkable talent. As good as the league's had. In virtually any other era, he'd be the best in the league without much argument.
