Statistically, Josh Allen has thrown for 3731 yards with a 63.6 completion percentage in the regular season. And in order to land 27 touchdowns, he faced six interceptions. Importantly, Allen is first in QB rating with 77.3. And talk about Lamar Jackson’s stats in the regular season, he has passed for 4172 yards and was able to achieve a 66.7 completion percentage. Jackson is 2nd in TDs in the entire NFL. And he has thrown only four interceptions.
However, many experts, former players, and media personalities have shown mixed interest in both the players. And it has culminated? Josh Allen won the NFL MVP Award, in 2024. But fans are not satisfied with it. And have reacted to it. Wanna know what fans said about the award? Let’s dive in!
NFL Fans’ mixed reactions flooded the internet
Fans have heavily reacted to the MVP award on X, saying, “If stats are most important, Lamar Jackson is the MVP. If wins are most important, Patrick Mahomes is the MVP.

After the MVP Awards were declared, one Kansas City fan reacted on X, “I like your reasoning but I honestly think Mahomes has regressed to the point that he’s not even in the conversation for best QB. He lost Tyreek, Kelce is getting older and his RBs are inconsistent. Lamar should win hands down…” One Philly fan also jumped into the MVP Awards convo, highlighting Saquon Barkley: “If being the most valuable player is most important, Saquon Barkley is the MVP. The Eagles may not even make the playoffs without Saquon.” Well, if you see the votes, the Eagles RB has ended up in 3rd rank.
Well, statistically Lamar was ahead of Allen in the season. But, the reality is, after four extra votes, Josh Allen has engraved his name on the NFL MVP Award, 2024.
