Former NFL Running Back Says Josh Allen is Better Than Joe Burrow: 'It's Not Even Close'

Joe Burrow stormed back to his usual form in a win over the 49ers last week, but FS1's Speak analyst and former NFL running back LeSean McCoy is still taking Josh Allen over a player who's led his team to the past two AFC Championship Games.

McCoy said "It's not close" as to who he'd rather have.

"Imma go with Josh Allen and I do love Joe Burrow," McCoy said. "Phenomenal player lights out, great player he is, but I'm gonna take the best player. I think Josh Allen's the better quarterback. If I had to draw up a quarterback and what it looks like what he could do, his attributes? It's not even close.

"Right, I played with Josh Allen and I've seen just Josh Allen before he had Stefon Diggs. He was a good quarterback, really good, but he didn't have a lot of weapons. I never seen Joe burrow without the weapons over there."

Burrow didn't have his top weapon, Ja'Marr Chase for four games last season and ranked higher than Allen in overall efficiency over that period.

He checked in at No. 7 leaguewide during that stretch to Allen's 16th overall rating.

"When it comes to the big games, And yes, Joe did beat him last year at home. But I look back to the game when he played Patrick Mahomes in Kansas City. Oh man, that's who he is."

Allen is searching for his second trip to the conference championship stage after getting beat 38-24 by Kansas City nearly three years ago.
