FOX Sports' football analysts believe Buffalo Bills star Josh Allen is the best QB in the NFL.

Buffalo Bills superstar Josh Allen is ranked the top QB in the NFL by FOX Sports' football analysts.

Allen is ahead of Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes, who is recovering from a serious knee injury. 

"If Allen could just win one championship, he might end up being in the conversation with Patrick Mahomes as the greatest quarterback of their generation," FOX Sports wrote. "And really, he should be anyway. He’s finished in the top five in MVP voting four straight years, and five of the last six. That also includes four finishes in the top four. 

"Allen still has the strongest arm in the game and is a lock to run for 500 yards and double-digit touchdowns every year. He may not be putting up the gaudy numbers he did earlier in his career, but he’s still averaged 3,700 passing yards and 27 touchdowns the last two seasons with a questionable arsenal of weapons and no true No. 1 receiver. Allen was also the MVP in 2024 and might have ended up finishing higher than third last year if the Bills could have prevented him from getting sacked a career-high 40 times. 

"This year, the Bills upgraded his receiving corps a little with D.J. Moore and he could get an even bigger boost with his old offensive coordinator Joe Brady now running things his way as the Bills head coach. Allen is 30, so he isn’t exactly running out of time. But there is definitely a feeling in Buffalo and around the league that his time may be right now."

The 2024 MVP, Allen finished with 3,668 passing yards, 25 passing touchdowns, 579 rushing yards and 14 rushing touchdowns last season. However, the Bills lost to the Denver Broncos in the AFC Divisional Round.

A future Hall of Famer, Allen enters this season with 30,102 passing yards, 220 passing touchdowns, 4,721 rushing yards and 79 career rushing touchdowns. 

It will be fascinating to see if Allen and the Bills can reach the promised land this season. Time is running out for Allen to win a championship.

After all, he's not getting any younger. 

The Bills open the 2026 season against the Houston Texans to kick off the Brady era. 

"Still respecting the past and what's been here the last 10 years and not shying away from that, but also having his own twist on it," Allen said after Brady was named HC. "It's been really good to see him embrace the role and step into it. The way that he talks to the guys, you can tell he's very well respected with everybody in that locker room, and it's only going to continue to grow in my opinion."

Will Brady be the guy who helps Allen win a Super Bowl?

We'll find out soon.
