Josh Allen is Philip Rivers 2.0
So watching the Bills lose to the Vikings, it hit me watching Josh Allen on the bench pouting that he is a less mature version of Philip Rivers. This made me go on a stat finding mission to compare Allen to Rivers... and in in order to be fair to the media perception (& to prove what we all already know), compared Mahomes' stats as well.
We all KNOW that Mahomes is better than Allen (and if you don't, please look again). But the next time you have some Bills lover arguing, here are the facts... Since both Mahomes & Allen have 4.5 years worth of stats to compare, I think its fair... and I grabbed the first 5 full years of Rivers' stats for the comparison. These are all averaged out based on the the actual number of games played (Excel spreadsheet available if anyone wants to double check). Here is what came to be: # of Games Played for stat comparison: Rivers: 80 games from 2006 - 2010 Allen: 70 games from 2018 - 2022 Mahomes: 71 from 2018-2022 Completion/Attempt/Comp%/Yards - per Game Average Rivers: 19.34 / 30.31 / 63.79% / 243.91 Allen: 20.93 / 33.43 / 62.61% / 240.67 Mahomes: 24.97 / 37.69 / 66.26% / 304.83 TD/TD% per Att/Int/Int% per Att - per Game Average Rivers: 1.69 TD / 5.57% / .71 INT / 2.35% Allen: 1.76 TD / 5.26% / .81 INT / 2.39% Mahomes: 2.48 TD / 6.58% / .61 INT / 1.61% First Down %/Avg Rating/Avg QBR/Sacks/Sack Yds - per Game Average Rivers: 39.46% / 97.22 Rating / 65.84 QBR / 1.71 sacks / 10.65 sk yds Allen: 36.54% / 89.84 Rating / 62.16 QBR / 1.94 sacks / 12.37 sk yds Mahomes: 42.86% / 106.38 Rating / 75.38 QBR / 1.54 sacks / 9.89 sk yds Josh Allen is a Good QB - but he is NOT Mahomes. He is Philip Rivers 2.0 - but a little less mature in my opinion. Rivers had 2 years of sitting. So Average Age for them is Rivers: 27 Allen: 24 Mahomes: 25 So maybe we will see Allen mature a little more, but he is no Mahomes. *all stats compiled from www.pro-football-reference.com |

I think I posted on a similar thread but ill just post similarily here.
Josh Allen already has more postseason success than Rivers ever did, and its not for a lack of quality teams the Chargers had. Allen is an elite QB and if it weren't for the most powerful dose of Mahomes Magic and a coin flip, we lose in the Divisional and the narrative is MUCH different. Its quite early to be counting him out simply because the Bills have lost a few games. It's not like Mahomes wasn't THE reason why we've lost games in the past, similar to whats going on with Allen right now. Its not like I love Allen, I hate his guts, but I respect his talent enough to know its way too early to act like Josh Allen will now suddenly fall off a cliff for the rest of his career. |

His problem is he started in the league the same year and in the same conference as a truly generational talent in Mahomes. |

But its hard to argue that Allen and the Bills aren't are our equals at this point, both talent-wise and organization-wise. Calling him Rivers 2.0 is quite a silly comparison. Rivers probably doesn't make it to the HOF, Mahomes and Allen are probably first ballot. |

Rivers had Manning, Brady, Roethlisberger & the Pit defense to contend with. Other than Mahomes it's been Lamar, Tanhill and Baker

Patrick Mahomes is 9th in the NFL in on-target percentage this season.
Josh Allen is 34th. https://www.pro-football-reference.c...g_advanced.htm

I wouldn’t have expected Geno Smith and Daniel Jones to be above Mahomes in that. |
