Undoubtedly, one of the most significant stars in the NFL this season is the talented quarterback for the Buffalo Bills, Josh Allen. His exceptional skills have prompted a Baltimore Ravens coach to boldly compare him to the caliber of players like Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers.

In her recent article for The Athletic, reporter Dianna Russini highlighted a Baltimore defensive coach who expressed high praise for Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen. The coach acknowledged Allen’s remarkable talent and ability to impact games, drawing comparisons to other elite quarterbacks in the league.

ā€œHe’s doing more at the line of scrimmage, breaking the huddle faster, seeing the game better and getting in and out. Handling the protections. Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes are probably the only other two quarterbacks doing that.ā€

ā€œWhen you’re a guy who is that talented and can win you games at the level of Josh Allen can, if he wants it a little bit relaxed and a little loose, that’s kind of the wave you’ve got to ride. Because again you’re not talking about just your average quarterback, we’re talking about the MVP front runner this year. We’re talking about the best quarterback outside of Patrick Mahomes in the NFL right now. So if that’s what he wants, that’s what you’ve got to give him and that’s what Joe Brady is.ā€, Harris concluded.
