Murray's magic, Dak's patience and Allen's deep ball: Here's how the NFL's top QBs are dominating in 2021
These eight QB are playing at an elite level, but no two styles have been the same
 

Josh Allen: The deepest possible throws
 

Most NFL tracking services consider "deep" throws to be those that travel 20 or more yards down the field in the air. Allen excels on those throws, but what he really excels on are the even deeper throws.
 

Nobody in the league has attempted more throws of 30-plus air yards than Allen, who has lofted 14 of them. On those 14 plays, he has nine completions, which have accounted for 375 yards and two touchdowns. That's a 147.3 passer rating. (Only Prescott's is higher (149.3), and he's attempted less than half as many throws as Allen, going 4 of 6 for 163 yards and two touchdowns.) Allen completed four of these passes against the Chiefs alone. Only four other players have more than four of these completions on the entire season.
 



Just look at some of these bombs. It seems like he's barely putting any air under the ball, instead just ripping it downfield like he's throwing a 10-yard out. It's more than a little bit ridiculous.

The Pass.  You know the one.  TD to Sanders, against the Chiefs, @1.42 on the video.

 

I've watched that about two dozen times now.  Every time I watch it, my brain keeps trying to see it as a 15 yard pass, and I have to say "Stupid brain, look at the yard lines.  That's 40 yards."  More than a little bit ridiculous is an understatement.

Josh is an incredible talent in so many ways. He’s the perfect QB for this franchise. He has all the hallmarks of a legendary player. 
 

Kudos to the owners and the FO for building a real family of a professional football team. These players all really care about each other and it shows.

The one interesting tidbit this piece ignores is how bad the weather has been for the BILLS. With the exception of the Fish game, the BILLS have battled the elements pretty much every game and Allen is still making ridiculous throws.

Not that I want to crap on this moment for Jackson, but can major college programs actually afford to retire numbers?

 

It's only temporary.  They'll unretire it the very moment someone accuses him of using a bad word in private.

A third of the way into the season?  I doubt it.  It would take half the remaining season just to get him acclimated to the playbook

 

Half? He had all of last year's offseason/regular season, and still didn't understand the Cheatriot's playbook by the end of the year.

The way he landed/fell yesterday on an already damaged shoulder was one of the more painful looking NFL plays I've ever seen that didn't end in someone being carted off the field. Bodies aren't supposed to bend that way.

I’ve had several shoulder dislocations/subluxations. They are painful. The more that joint gets separated, the easier it becomes to do it again. He will have to get that repaired at some point. 
 

I’ve had five shoulder surgeries. The second one on my right side was a TJR. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone… anyone who isn’t Marcia at least.
