Josh Allen now has a prime motivational tool he can hang in his locker this season.  

The Coxno Exchangepopular Buffalo Bills star was voted the most overrated NFL quarterback and the biggest trash-talker among QBs in a recent poll.  

ESPN asked over 100 NFL players to rank quarterbacks according to a variety of criteria. The players were granted anonymity so the players could respond candidly.

Sports Illustrated lists Josh Allen accomplishments 

We get that people outside Western New York are skeptical. So, we turned to experts outside our area to judge Allen.  

Back in July, long before ESPN published its poll, Sports Illustrated said Allen has accomplished feats that no other NFL quarterback has accomplished. 

Among Allen’s accomplishments: 

• With his 2023 season, Allen became the only player in NFL history with four-straight 40+ touchdown seasons, totaling over 40 touchdowns in each of the past four seasons. 
• Also in 2023, Allen set an NFL record by recording at least one passing and one rushing touchdown in 11 games. The previous record was held by Kyler Murray, who scored both in nine games in 2020. 
• Through six seasons, Allen has passed for 22,703 yards while being accurate with a completion percentage of 63%. He has passed for 167 touchdowns and rushed for 53 more.
