Josh Allen named clear choice for Bills MVP in 2024

In a less than shocking notion, quarterback Josh Allen was predicted as the Buffalo Bills’ MVP during the 2024 season.

NFL.com went team-by-team in an offseason exercise to guess which player would be every side’s MVP for the upcoming year. Considering the position Allen plays, it’s not surprising he was selected. Numerous quarterbacks are.

However, in the case of the Bills, it’s even more important. With the numerous decisions Buffalo’s front office has had to make this offseason, Allen will need to carry the load. Changes have come to both sides of the ball, but the noted one is the departure of receiver Stefon Diggs .

There’s a lot of weight Allen will have to pull for the Bills in 2024. Can he do it?

Here’s how NFL.com projects Allen’s “MVP prediction” in 2024:

On the one hand, you might say that Buffalo’s offseason purge stripped Allen of key weaponry and weakened his support system, and that therefore Buffalo must win games in a different fashion in this post-Stefon Diggs era. But I’ll take the opposite side of the coin and argue that never have Allen and his game-changing ability been more important to the team. In short, the Bills will go as far as Allen can carry them — and in the long run, he might even end up a better quarterback than he was before.

Look, you won’t find many bigger fans of linebacker Matt Milano than me, and maybe Greg Rousseau has a 15-sack breakout-type season up his sleeve in 2024. But with Milano coming off a significant leg injury and Rousseau still an up-and-comer as a fourth-year pro, this one isn’t even close. No mental gymnastics can get me off my Allen pick — a.k.a., the obvious and only selection now.
