Pretty much any bigger quarterback who also likes to extend plays who comes out of college these days inevitably draws a comparison sooner or later to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Ben Roethlisberger—specifically, they get compared to a ‘young Big Ben’. Among the more recent quarterback to receive that distinction is Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills, who has his team at 9-3 in his third season.
There were five quarterbacks drafted in the first round that year, and while the Baltimore Ravens’ Lamar Jackson was a unanimous MVP last year, and Baker Mayfield of the Cleveland Browns set a rookie record for touchdowns and also has his team at 9-3 right now, you can certainly make the argument that Allen is the best of that group right now.
