The Ravens quarterback certainly has the respect of his peers: he was the NFLPA All-Pro team's quarterback in 2023 as well (that year ended with Jackson winning his second MVP award). Jackson and Baltimore open their playoff campaign on Saturday at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

As the NFL regular season ends, NFL players across the league have voted Lamar Jackson as the All-Pro award winner at QB over Josh Allen.

It’s worth noting Jackson, Allen and Burrow’s gaudy statistics came in the fourth year of the NFL regular season being 17 games, as opposed to 16 as it was previously. In some cases, such as yardage and touchdowns, the extra game helped pad stats. In others, such as interceptions and sacks, it made lower totals even more impressive.

One of the biggest decisions they’ll make is for the league’s MVP award, which recognizes the most valuable player of the regular season. On Monday, ESPN’s Bill Barnwell shared his pick for who he believes should take home the MVP award.

Yahoo Sports NFL analyst Nate Tice, fantasy analyst Matt Harmon and NFL writer Charles McDonald discuss the frontrunners for this year’s award and reveal their picks for who should take home the hardware.

Romo thinks that Allen’s and Jackson’s MVP battle might likely boil down to voter fatigue. This means that voters would lean toward picking Allen, even though Jackson has been just as good, if not better because Allen has never won an MVP while Jackson has earned two of the last five.

There’s no such problem as the 2024 MVP race enters its final stages. Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow and Saquon Barkley are superstar talents whose conventional and/or advanced stats match historic standards for MVP consideration.

One of those storylines has been the MVP conversation between Baltimore quarterback Lamar Jackson and Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen. There has been plenty of controversy about the matter, and former NFL quarterback Tony Romo only added to it when he gave an interesting take on the situation between the two signal callers.

Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson have been the two most important players on the field this season, and they deserve to be co-MVPs.

The NFL MVP award was all but wrapped up by Josh Allen. That was until Lamar Jackson's Christmas Day performance. Read here for latest odds.
