He definitely hates Josh Allen. He said 3 weeks ago the Bills aint got nothin but Josh Allen.... yet he's doing all these things. So if he's doing them all himself then why WOULDN'T he be MVP? And Doesnt Lamar have King Henry that carried him the first 5 weeks of the season? Come on now.

HATE HATE HATE to say it but if Josh Allen were Black there Wouldn't be ANY Argument of who the Obvious MVP shuld be. Yes Lamar Jackson Is Playing Great 🏈, n Yes they put a Whooping on the BILLS, but has he played up anywhere near JA17s level @ all this season? I'm biased of course as a BILLS Fan but I Don't think Lamar or anybody has.

They need to cut the talk about Lamar Jackson, I’m starting to feel like it’s favoritism towards him. Josh Allen deserves and earned the MVP this year.

[@LenDD-e4t]

Exactly

[@christopherg7098]

I have a feeling that the voters will find a way, find some rationalization to give it Lamar Jackson, it just proves that it wouldn't matter what Josh Allen does, because there is nothing that would be good enough, and it's so incredibly ironic that this is the year that so many people want to beat the drum about statics when last year, when Lamar won it, so many of these same people were saying the statics didn't matter, they said just look at how Lamar is playing and who cares that so many other QB's had better statics. There is so much bias involved and if they give the award to someone else, then people should just abandon any notion that Allen will ever win the MVP, because there is no mountain he can climb to satisfy them.

[@Sting283]

Josh needs 1 more crazy good stat game. Then at least it'll be Co MVP. 2 really good games, and it's outright. Lamar is putting up great numbers. We can't play like he isn't.

[@lucasjonathan8108]

Yes Of Course they will I agree 1000%!! Just listen to Sam Acho on the Facility show evry week n it's ALWAYS Lamar no matter how he plays or whether they Win or Lose. n he's n MVP Voter for the NFL. 💩 He talks himself up about it every show. He's a Classic BILLS HATER as well bcuz he Never got off BILLS practice squad B4 being Cut/ Said ed/ Released n has held a Grudge since.

[@stevesand8845]

Lamar stats got way better when when half the defense has to focus on Henry…Lamar is a GREAT GREAT passer now, I think that he’s passed michael vick for best duel threat QB, but you HAVE to look at record, you have to look at who else is on the team, you have to look at who they lost to, I think the lions game Iced It for Allen. People are like “bills play is a crappy division so he has 6 easy games” well he still has 3 more games be ne nyj ne
