Buffalo Bills star quarterback Josh Allen's performance is amplified when it's terrible but the quiet praises are just that when he goes off. What gives?
From OutKick's Bobby Burack Fox Sports analyst Emmanuel Acho reviewed the game tape of QB Josh Allen on Monday. Acho was impressed. He drew the conclusion that Allen’s 'praise must be as loud as his criticism.' But it’s not. The criticism continues to far outpace the praise. Allen played poorly against the Jets’ defense in Week 1. And Allen heard about it from the media. Stephen A. Smith called Josh Allen 'no longer an elite QB.
The cartoonish scolding of Allen would be less telling if the same media pundits applied equally cartoonish praise of Allen following the weeks in which he’s among the best players in the NFL. Which is most weeks. Allen has thrown 8 touchdowns and led his team to 123 points over the past three weeks. He now leads the league in completion percentage and is the betting favorite to win MVP. But you wouldn’t know that from consuming the coverage of the NFL. In fact, folks like Stephen A.
The NFL media has become increasingly dependent upon the opinions of former players. There are fewer former journalists on television. Other than Mina Kimes, most 'analysts' played in the NFL. And because the NFL is a majority-black league, the vast majority of TV analysts on ESPN and FS1 are black. Or as Bomani would put it, critics of Josh Allen. That’s point No. 1.
For those reasons, the consensus praise for Allen will never be as loud as the criticism. At least not by a media that has cast Josh Allen as the poster child for the privileged white QB.
