The Story in 60 Seconds

Former Buffalo Bills running back Thurman Thomas stated on The Gronk & Jules Show that he would only put "half of Josh Allen" on the franchise's Mount Rushmore for now. While Thomas easily selected Jim Kelly, Bruce Smith, and O.J. Simpson for the first three spots, he indicated that Allen still has unfinished business to fully secure the fourth position.

Writer Chris Pownall argues that Allen already deserves the complete fourth spot regardless of whether he wins a Super Bowl. Pownall points out that legends like Kelly and Thomas never won a championship either, noting that Allen's sustained success and transformation of the franchise validate his full place in Bills history.
