Draymond Green grilled for ‘absurd’ take on Josh Allen

“I don’t believe in Josh Allen. I’ve been telling you all year,” Green told Schultz on Thursday during their Instagram Live show, “Why is Draymond Green talking about football?”

Green’s attitude is surprising given the Allen numbersbut the four-time NBA champion values ​​playoff success more than the regular season.

“He always has good regular seasons. No problem. Who cares?” Green continued. “It’s never enough to beat Lamar Jackson for the MVP, and it shouldn’t be this year. He can’t win in the playoffs and he won’t win this weekend.

The former Defensive Player of the Year’s playoff prediction didn’t age well, as the Bills defeated the Baltimore Ravens 27-25 in the AFC Divisional Round on Sunday night. Schultz then said: “My bro @Money23Green there’s still time to admit your take on Josh Allen was absurd! 🤦🏻‍♂🤷🏻‍♂” on Monday morningthrough social media.

While Allen is undoubtedly one of the NFL’s most talented quarterbacks, his legacy will be defined by his lack of playoff success until he and the Bills finally win a Super Bowl. To do that, they’ll need to finally beat Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.

Mahomes beat Allen in all three of their playoff matchups, which is a big reason why the former has three Super Bowl rings while the latter has never played in the “Big Game.” However, this is a good year for Buffalo to flip the script.

Allen was involved during the regular season, completing 63.6% of his passes for 3,731 yards, 28 touchdowns and just six interceptions. The Wyoming member’s quarterback rating of 77.3 ranked second in the league, and he also had 531 yards on 102 carries (5.2 yards per carry) with 12 scores on the ground.

Allen has also been good in the playoffs this season, completing 36 of 48 passes (75%) for 399 yards with two touchdowns and no picks. The 28-year-old also has 66 yards on 18 carries (3.7 avg.) with two scores.

Meanwhile, Mahomes has shown his lethality this season. The future Hall of Famer continued to be good, completing 67.5% of his passes for 3,928 yards, 26 touchdowns and 11 picks. However, his 67.6 quarterback rating was nearly 10 points below Allen’s, and he’s less of a threat on the ground (307 yards, 5.3 average, two touchdowns).

In addition, Mahomes was the game manager against the Houston Texans in Saturday’s divisional round matchup, completing 16 of 25 passes for 177 yards and a touchdown.

In short, Allen can at least match, and often surpass, the production of his rival today. The only number that ultimately matters is the final score on Sunday.
