Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson’s inclusion in Madden’s coveted 99 Club has sparked heated debates among NFL fans, particularly regarding how quarterbacks are evaluated. While Allen and Jackson celebrated their perfect ratings, some fans argue that these rankings fail to reflect the true hierarchy of NFL quarterbacks.
Critics have pointed to Patrick Mahomes’ exclusion from the 99 Club as a glaring oversight. As a two-time MVP and three-time Super Bowl champion, Mahomes continues to be widely regarded as the league’s top quarterback. Fans believe his omission in favor of Allen and Jackson reflects a flawed evaluation process, especially with Mahomes earning top rankings in separate league-wide surveys of players and coaches.
Allen’s MVP-winning season undoubtedly solidified his status as one of the NFL’s elite. Despite losing key offensive weapons, he managed to lead the Buffalo Bills to a top-tier offense, showcasing his versatility and leadership. Jackson’s resurgence, marked by his dual-threat dominance, also earned him accolades, positioning him as a deserving member of the 99 Club. However, their ratings have prompted discussions about whether consistency and postseason success should weigh more heavily in Madden’s rankings.
For Mahomes supporters, the snub is a reminder of his recent struggles with a depleted offense, but many feel his overall body of work justifies a higher rating. Fans have also debated whether the 99 Club should recognize long-term greatness or focus solely on the previous season’s performance. These differing perspectives highlight the challenges of creating universally accepted player evaluations.

The Madden ratings have long been a source of fan engagement and controversy, with passionate debates fueling the game’s popularity. For Allen and Jackson, their 99 ratings symbolize career milestones, but Mahomes’ exclusion ensures the conversation remains lively.
