Josh Allen can't stop getting disrespected despite winning the NFL MVP, and it's getting really old

I'm running out of ideas as to why people refuse to give Josh Allen the credit that he deserves. The guy finally wins his first NFL MVP, overcoming the "most overrated player" title from last offseason, and now a new ranking has snubbed him once again.

Why do people struggle so mightily with giving Allen respect?

PFF put together their top 101 players from the 2024 season, and the NFL MVP, Josh Allen, was ranked 6th. Hilariously, in their own graphic, they credited him with leading the league in big time throws with 43, while also having the highest rushing grade at the quarterback position at 93.6.

Take PFF grades for what they are, but his rushing grade of 93.6 was second in the entire NFL, running backs included, behind only Derrick Henry's 94.2.

If PFF graded him as the second best rusher in the entire league, while also making an argument for him being an elite passer, all while he was named the NFL MVP, then why is he at 6th in their own rankings? As the kids say, the math ain't mathing.

Josh Allen and the Bills were the only team to beat the Chiefs this season outside of the Philadelphia Eagles beating them in the Super Bowl. Allen also beat the Lions, the No. 1 seed in the NFC in the regular season.

Allen did the most with the least, passing for 4,367 yards and 32 touchdowns despite the team's leading receiver (Khalil Shakir) having only 821 yards. Second on the list was Keon Coleman with 556. See above — the Bills' top receiving duo was far and away the lowest producing duo of any team in the NFL playoffs, and Allen still had that team competing at a championship level.

Please stop besmirching the good name of Josh Allen, guys.

But what did the Bills do in the playoffs? Lost to the Chiefs AGAIN. That's what matters. The end.
