Josh Allen had arguably the best overall performance of any quarterback in Week 1 of the NFL season against the Arizona Cardinals. 

Allen had four total touchdowns, throwing and rushing for two scores a piece as he put the Bills on his back to lead a 14-point comeback win.

Despite his performance, Allen was only given a PFF grade of 75. Meanwhile, Aaron Rodgers was given a grade of 86.2 after completing just 61.9 percent of his passes for 167 yards. Justin Fields was also graded higher than Allen despite not accounting for any scores and accounting for 76 fewer passing yards. 

Putting these quarterbacks ahead of Allen makes less than zero sense. Rodgers and Fields did nothing better than Allen on Sunday. That's not really up for debate, either. 

Allen accounted for more touchdowns than Rodgers and Fields, and Trevor Lawrence combined (Lawrence is listed one spot ahead of Allen in the Week 1 grades).

The strange disrespect against Allen seems to know no boundaries.
