Josh Allen is a top 100 player in Prisco, but who is the Buffalo Bills missing?

I love ranking a good NFL player in the offseason, and no matter who you rank or where players rank, someone will challenge it. NFL fans are never short of passionate opinions, myself included. That’s why I had to discuss CBSSports.com writer Pete Prisco’s latest article ranking the NFL’s top 100 players. Not only did he rank the top 100 players, but he also added 50 more as honorable mentions. But out of 150 players, only two play with the Buffalo Bills. Naturally, Josh Allen made Prisco’s top 100, ranking sixth.

“He led the NFL in total passing yards and touchdowns (44) combined with passing and rushing touchdowns, but the perception was that he didn’t play well. Yes, he turns the ball over too much, but he was a legitimate MVP candidate last year and will be again this season (last season: #2).”

Among the quarterbacks on Prisco’s list, Allen ranked second behind Patrick Mahomes, who was number one. That’s a fair ranking, and I appreciate that Prisco calls out the turnovers, but still confirms that Allen is a viable MVP candidate. So many people focus on the turnovers and ignore all the great things Allen is doing. Perhaps this coming season, Allen will take his game to another level, limiting turnovers while producing touchdowns at a record rate, and doing it with a new cast of characters.

As for honorable mentions, Matt Milano was named among the 50, which surprises me a little considering he didn’t play much due to the injury that ended his season just five weeks into the year. What’s also surprising is not seeing tight end Dalton Kincaid anywhere on the list, either in the top 100 or below honorable mentions. Sure, Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta is there at number 58, I’ve compared him to Kincaid before and found there to be little difference. That LaPorta is ranked 58th and Kincaid isn’t listed anywhere is a shame.
