PFF Underrates Josh Allen in Latest 2025 Quarterback Rankings
Josh Allen, the reigning NFL MVP, continues to prove himself as one of the top quarterbacks in the league. His 2024 season was historic, capped by his first MVP award and a record-setting performance—becoming the first player in league history to record over 40 total touchdowns in five consecutive seasons.
Despite this, debates continue over where Allen ranks among the league’s elite. While there’s room for personal opinion, the numbers and his in-game impact make a strong case for Allen being at the top. He consistently shows he’s more valuable to the Bills than any other quarterback is to their respective teams, with a unique ability to take over games.
Among the top-tier quarterbacks, names like Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, and Joe Burrow are often mentioned alongside Allen. However, Pro Football Focus (PFF) analyst John Kosko recently released quarterback rankings for the 2025 season that placed Allen fourth—behind Mahomes (No. 1), Burrow (No. 2), and Jackson (No. 3). This decision has raised eyebrows among fans and analysts.
Kosko acknowledged Allen’s excellence, noting:
“Allen’s 95.4 overall grade over the past three seasons ranks first among all quarterbacks. His 91.4 passing grade in that span is third, behind Burrow and Lamar Jackson. Despite losing his top two receivers from 2023, Allen didn’t miss a beat in 2024, delivering his most complete season yet and earning his first MVP award.”
Given this level of performance and consistency, many believe Allen deserves to be ranked higher—if not first—among NFL quarterbacks heading into 2025. For now, it seems Allen will have to use the upcoming season as another opportunity to silence doubters and reinforce his place at the top.
