Josh Allen, as we all expected, is the most valuable quarterback in the NFL through five games. Geno Smith, as only the most demented — or brilliant? — football minds saw coming, is right on his heels.
Smith’s age-32 breakthrough continued last week in a 268-yard, three touchdown performance on only 25 pass attempts against the New Orleans Saints. This wasn’t a function of quick dump-offs and big runs after the catch — though Jimmy Garoppolo has parlayed that into a top 10 ranking (!). Smith threw four passes at least 25 yards downfield. All four were caught and three were touchdowns.
