Round Robin: Allen, Burrow, Lamar...

[murksiderock]

Bruh I think it's so fun that we have four potentially All-Timers simultaneously. It reminds me of when we had Brady, Brees, Manning, and Rodgers all in their primes, for like a 6-season window from 2009 to 2014. Remember Aaron threw his name into the ring with that '09 playoff loss to Arizona, he was fukking unbelievable...

And we all know '14 was Manning's last great year...

This season’s playoffs would be the perfect opportunity for the question to answer itself if we’re talking full body of work.

Unfortunately, Burrow isn’t going to make it this year to answer it. If they could have only beat the Patriots in the season opener.

Which is why I'm not sure this year would answer it, Burrow won't be in the playoffs. He's also had the shortest career of them all (only in Y5), and in the two years he made the playoffs his team was Final 4 at minimum...

Theoretically it could as both Allen and Jackson have the opportunity to slay the beast and prevent a Chiefs 3 peat.

Burrow will just have to wait his turn to prove it again.

Burrow is definitely gonna run into the, "what have you done for me lately" thing, 100% agree. But if the other two don't beat the Chiefs and/or win it all, he'll still be able to say he's beaten the Chiefs, beaten them in KC, and made a Super Bowl himself...

I'm a Joey B guy but working against him, he and his team perform highly when they in the playoffs, but he wins the least by FAR in the regular season. The slow starts is a problem too, he's the only guy every single flipping year, these mf's come out the gate cold in September and October. He's also, this year particularly, not beating good teams besides yesterday, and it IS partly his fault as he's had chances to win games they lost----->that first Ravens game he was amazing, and then he fukking fumbled the football, which allowed the Ravens to drive and win...

So all things being fair, his team could have a couple more wins if the quarterback played better to start the year, and if he played better in some big games at the end...

Lamar is the one with the most to gain. He's so uniquely dominant, is gonna have more MVPs than the other two combined even if he don't win it this year. Lamar is literally a championship away from us having Top 10 All-Time discussions about him. The other two aren't at THAT level yet, even with a championship...

The flip is that if he's Playoff Lamar again, that "he's just young Peyton Manning" shyt hardens and grows on him. He's the only one of the three we can no longer give a fukk about his regular season, we know he can be the best player in football in the regular season. Everything for him is judged on The Tournament...

Allen will obviously be elevated with a SB run or win but he has the least to gain or lose. He does seem to have the most media fanboys, though, and I'm not just basing that on this year. Orlovsky and many others have publicly stanned Allen for years now, but for me, he also has the most flaws...

He doesn’t fukk with Burrow like that so his ranking is going to be obvious.

Are we talking about career accomplishments and who’s the “greatest” of the bunch as of now?

If that’s the case, then Lamar Jackson is clearly first due to having two MVP’s at this time.

Then it depends how much you want to value that Burrow Super Bowl run. I’m going to take Allen over Burrow because just watching them, I would fear Allen much more than Burrow. He doesn’t take the terrible sacks Burrow takes too often and can make throws Burrow can’t make. He has also had a lesser offensive supporting cast than Burrow. This is not a knock on Burrow, but I would take Allen over him.

 

[Reggie]

Lamar Joe Josh. This can change the moment one of them wins a ring though.

 

[WhoShotCha]

Burrow is not nearly as talented as Lamar and Allen though. I know that much.

 

[xXMASHERXx]

For me it's Mahomes>Jackson> Allen=Burrow. That said, depending on how the playoffs go, it could change(Mahomes will still be at top).
