Bills QB Josh Allen Ranks Top 30, Super Bowl Win Seen Key to Elite Status

Josh Allen, the dynamic quarterback for the Buffalo Bills, won the 2024 NFL MVP award after an exceptional season marked by 3,731 passing yards, 28 touchdown passes, and 531 rushing yards with 12 touchdowns. Widely recognized for his unique combination of arm talent, athleticism, and fearlessness, Allen has been ranked among the top 30 quarterbacks of the Super Bowl era, with many experts suggesting he could rise into the top 10 if he secures a Super Bowl victory. Despite leading the Bills to multiple playoff appearances and a 13-4 record in 2024, Allen has yet to win a Super Bowl, which remains a critical milestone for solidifying his legacy among NFL greats. Former NFL wide receiver James Jones and others argue that winning a Super Bowl would cement Allen’s status as a top 10 quarterback of all time, comparing him favorably to legends like Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes, and placing him above notable quarterbacks such as Drew Brees and Steve Young. However, critics like Bengals legend T.J. Houshmandzadeh emphasize that without a championship ring, Allen’s place among the all-time greats remains tentative despite his individual accolades and statistical dominance. Allen’s primary focus remains on winning the elusive Lombardi Trophy, acknowledging that postseason success will ultimately define his enduring legacy.
