'Straw That Stirs Drink': Bills' Josh Allen NFL's Top Dual-Threat QB?
The Buffalo Bills enter the season among the upper tier of Super Bowl contenders once again, and it isn't hard to see why. They boast one of the best rosters in the NFL, with stars spread all over the depth chart.
Chief among them, of course, is their perennial MVP candidate quarterback Josh Allen, who has improved every year since entering the league. As training camp gets under way, he has been named the biggest reason for Bills optimism entering the season by Bleacher Report.
"Since Allen made the Pro Bowl jump in 2020, he's remained among the league's best and most exciting quarterbacks," Bleacher Report writes. "Arguably the top dual-threat in the league, Allen can attack defenses with his arm or his legs, and he's been remarkably durable along the way."
Surrounded by a plethora of elite weapons, Allen has plenty to work with while commanding one of the best offenses in the league. Even with those weapons, though, he's still the guy in Buffalo.
"Quarterback Josh Allen is still the straw that stirs the offensive drink, and as long as he's healthy, the Bills will have a chance to win just about any game," Bleacher Report writes.
Allen was phenomenal once again last season, throwing for 4,283 yards with 35 touchdowns and 14 interceptions while completing 63.3 percent of his passes. It was his third straight season eclipsing 4,000 passing yards and 30 touchdowns, showcasing his continued ascent to superstardom.
Whether or not this is the season the Bills finally get over the hump in the playoffs and claim the elusive Lombardi Trophy is yet to be seen. Even if they don't, however, there is little doubt that Allen will remain one of the most exciting playmakers in the NFL.
