WATCH: Is Josh Allen the NFL's best quarterback entering 2025?
Ranking the quarterbacks across the NFL is always a popular offseason debate because it brings on arguments of people standing up for their favorite team's signal caller.
As for who the best quarterback in the NFL is, well there hasn't been much of a debate in recent years. With the success of the Kansas City Chiefs under head coach Andy Reid, Patrick Mahomes has been undeniable as the league's top dog. But, that has changed over the last year.
It's not like Mahomes has fallen off a cliff, but his performance over the last couple years hasn't been up to par with the electric start to his NFL career. And so, guys like Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, and Joe Burrow have caught up to him in terms of individual performance, and they have probably surpassed him at this point.
Allen makes the best argument for the new ringleader among NFL QBs. He hasn't gotten past Mahomes' Chiefs in the postseason yet (0-4 in his career), but his individual play has surpassed Mahomes.
Allen took home the league's MVP in 2024 after leading the Buffalo Bills to a 13-4 record in a season which many thought they would be going through a slight rebuild. Instead, he led the team to the AFC title game after posting his fifth-straight 40-touchdown season (no NFL QB has accomplished this feat in more than three straight seasons).
For a few years, the only knock on Allen was that he committed too many turnovers. Not only did he clean that up in 2024 (only six on the year), but he kept his high-level of playmaking and still made everyone around him better.
This is why declaring Allen as the NFL's best QB is picking up steam. Pro Football Focus' Sam Monson is the latest to say Allen is the best in the land right now, saying, "I think Allen's the guy right now."

ESPN's Adam Schefter will serve as on-course reporter at Travelers Championship
ESPN's Adam Schefter will serve as on-course reporter at Travelers Championship Adam Schefter is one of the most familiar faces in sports television, but he's going to be in a different setting this week than he's used to. Schefty is trading the sideline for the golf course this week, as the NFL Insider for ESPN will work as a featured group commentator on ESPN+ this week at the PGA Tour's 2025 Travelers Championship. On Thursday, he'll cover Rory McIlroy and Keegan Bradley's group, which tees off at 10:30 a.m. ET. He'll trade in the suit and tie for some golf clothes at TPC River Highlands. "I've been assigned a PGA Tour Live shirt that they got for me, and I guess the pants and shoes are my own," Schefter said during an appearance on Unsportsmanlike. "It's supposed to be very hot on Thursday. I don't know if I can get a clothing deal here." Schefter has covered the NFL for 16 years at ESPN, and he has also dabbled in NBA reporting after Adrian Wojnarowski retired, but this week he steps inside the ropes of a PGA Tour event.

Facing Slow Ticket Sales, FIFA Prioritizes Stadiums' Good Sides
If FIFA is unable to sell out stadiums around the U.S. during its first supersized Club World Cup this summer, the organization is hoping to at least stuff the half of venues visible on TV, ticket offerings show. Ahead of three matches next week at Seattle's Lumen Field, New Jersey's MetLife Stadium, and Philadelphia's Lincoln Financial Field—all NFL homes come the fall—standard tickets are currently unavailable in upper bowls as of Friday morning, with closer options centered around the stands facing traditional TV camera placements. Advertisement More from Some fans have also reported receiving seat change and upgrade notices. 'We are making a few enhancements inside the stadium to optimize operations and ensure the best possible matchday experience for fans, players and the global broadcast audience,' FIFA said in a message sent to some ticketholders in Philadelphia, according to the Associated Press. Venues often consolidate visitors when there are empty seats, largely to streamline operations ranging from stadium security to concessions management. It's also typical to strategically place those fans in line-of-sight of TV cameras for the benefit of those watching at home. Advertisement FIFA—which is overseeing ticket distribution with support from Ticketmaster—retains the option of opening additional sections. Organizers may also reserve certain areas for club supporters or corporate partners. They also have the ability to hand other stubs over to third-party vendors to sell on secondary markets. 'We anticipate great attendances and electric atmospheres,' FIFA said in a recent statement, 'with excitement growing with every round of matches and the tournament ultimately standing as the undisputed pinnacle of club world football.' The governing body did not respond to specific questions about ticketing strategies by press time. Certain matches featuring big-name clubs continue to see ticket availability around the stadium, but the options are pared back for less-hyped matchups, including some taking place during U.S. workdays. FIFA is currently only selling a portion of lower bowl tickets for Tuesday's noon local time match between Argentine club River Plate and Japan's Urawa Red Diamonds, for instance. Seats four rows from the grass near midfield are on offer for $81.40 each. Looking ahead to the knockout phase, tickets for a Round of 16 matchup in Charlotte are currently only available in less than half of Bank of America Stadium's sections, with a starting price of $78. The venue hosted 62,617 for a friendly between Real Madrid and Chelsea last summer. Advertisement FIFA has committed to 'adaptive pricing' techniques for the tournament, meaning costs vary based on demand. Back in December, the least expensive ticket for Saturday's opening match featuring Lionel Messi's Inter Miami was $349. It dropped below $80 this week, with FIFA also offering discounts to local students. Ticket prices remain high for the July 13 final at MetLife. The get-in price for standard tickets sold from FIFA via Ticketmaster started at $927.70 as of Friday. But there, too, the selection was limited, with hundreds of tickets available in a swath of upper-level sections on the stadium's eastern side but none available across the pitch.
