Josh Allen, the Buffalo Bills’ outstanding quarterback, has a zealous fan base throughout the world, and he can now add another enthusiast to the list. Former quarterback turned NFL analyst Chris Simms recently put the spotlight on the athlete, claiming him to be a step ahead of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes.

Allen and Mahomes are two of the finest quarterbacks in the league, and their performance has shown their superiority. However, Simms has showcased more faith towards the Bills’ QB. This point is likely to stir widespread discussion, as both have enormous potential and have done their best. But can both athletes create a historic rivalry like Tom Brady & Peyton Manning?

Chris Simms stands for Josh Allen

At the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine, analyst Chris Simms expressed his admiration for the quarterback, describing him as “the best in football.”

He mentioned, “I love him. I’ve said this a few times. He’s the best player in football,” Simms said of Allen. “He is, to me, the last two years he’s outplayed Patrick Mahomes. I think those are the two best players in the game right now and if you made me choose one, I’d go Josh Allen and there’s nobody better in the league right now; he’s the best player in the NFL.”

Can Mahomes & Allen begin a duel like Brady vs. Manning?

One can’t deny that both athletes had a great run in 2021 as well, and their statistical comparison that is broadly similar. Even though Mahomes was a better passer than Allen and performed a lot more with his runs, they both gained nearly the same amount of offensive yards. Allen threw for 4,407 yards and 36 touchdowns, while Mahomes threw for 4,839 yards and 37 touchdowns.

Overall, quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes and Josh Allen might fuel the fire to be the version 2.0 of Brady vs. Manning, as they compete over their play-calling talents and statistical similarities, which could endure for a long time as both sportsmen and their clubs dispute.
