🧨“Did He Really Say That?!” — Nick Wright Puts Josh Allen OVER Joe Burrow in Shocking New QB Rankings
Buffalo, NY — In a move no one saw coming (especially fans in Cincinnati), FOX Sports analyst Nick Wright just dropped his top 5 quarterbacks heading into the 2025 season — and Bills Mafia is going to love it.
Wright placed Josh Allen ABOVE Joe Burrow, ranking the Buffalo star at #3 overall, just behind Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson — and one spot ahead of Burrow, who landed at #4.
Let’s be clear: this isn’t your average media fluff piece. It’s a take that’s got the NFL world arguing from Buffalo to Baton Rouge — and for once, Bills fans are on the winning side.
🧠 “Allen Is More Dangerous — Period”
Nick Wright, who’s not exactly known for hyping the Bills, surprised many with his rationale:
“Josh Allen is a one-man offense. He’s more physically gifted than Burrow, more mobile, more dynamic. When the Bills win, it’s usually because of Allen doing everything — and doing it at an elite level.”
Wright pointed to Allen’s 2024 season, where he posted:
-
4,398 passing yards
-
35 passing TDs / 9 INTs
-
813 rushing yards and 10 rushing TDs
“Burrow’s a technician, no doubt,” Wright said. “But if I’m starting a team tomorrow — I’m taking Josh.”
🧊 The NFL World Reacts — and It’s Heated
As expected, the take exploded on social media. Bills fans praised Wright for “finally saying what we’ve known for years,” while Bengals fans… weren’t as pleased.
“Allen’s a baller, no question — but Burrow wins playoff games,” one Cincy fan fired back.
“This isn’t Madden. Give me the guy who beats Mahomes in January.”
Still, Allen supporters had the receipts ready. Since 2020, Allen has more total touchdowns (passing + rushing) than any other player in the league, and he’s done it with a revolving door at WR2 and an O-line that’s been average at best.
🏈 Beyond Stats: Who Would You Rather Have?
The debate isn’t just about numbers. It’s about impact.
Allen can beat you from the pocket, on the move, or even hurdling over linebackers. Burrow is precise, composed, and clutch — but his injury history and limited mobility have raised concerns about long-term durability.
NFL insider Peter Schrager summed it up best:
“Burrow is Brady-like. Allen is Favre with jet fuel. Pick your poison.”
✅ Final Thought:
For once, the national media gave Josh Allen the edge — and whether you agree or not, it’s clear the league still views him as one of the most unstoppable forces in football.
So the next time someone says Burrow is clearly better?
Just point them to the stats… or this Nick Wright clip.
Because even the skeptics are starting to believe.
