What do you attribute to almost every quarterback having a down (ish) year this year? (alien.top)

Virtually every QB in the NFL is deviating from their career norms this season. Studs like Allen, Mahomes, Burrow (playing better recently) Lawrence, Hurts, Watson, etc all seem to be turning the ball over more. What do you think is causing this? Just more Defensive adjustments?

I am just gonna latch on this thread to talk about MNF. If Josh Allen was the Bears QB, would this fanbase consider him a franchise QB?

[–] LegendaryWarriorPoet@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

First pick was a drop, not at all his fault, second pick along the sideline Fields would never hear the end of lol. But Allen has built up more credibility so the perspective understandably reflects that

The fact that you're asking makes it seem like you think the answer isn't obvious an I'm really intrigued as to why.

he obviously is a franchise QB but he is very mistake prone. its Favre like. Based off some comments on this board, some people expect almost perfect QB play from a franchise QB. I feel like there would be a vocal minority that would not like Allen in this fanbase. its a roller coaster ride.

We've never had a QB come anywhere close to Allen's level of performance, so I guess we'll see how popular that is if we ever get there.

Absolutely lol

Josh Allen would be the starting QB on 30 of 31 other teams.

[–] sleeptilnoonenergy@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

He would not start in KC, Philly, Miami, Cinci, at the least. Probably also not Houston or Dallas or SF. He's neck and neck with guys like Goff and Herbert. Allen's a turnover machine and habitual bad decision maker. In this QB space he's a little better than Cutty and a little worse than Favre.

Now he of course is still a great talent, but he's become extremely overrated. He's most certainly not the second best QB in the league.

Are you unironically claiming that Purdy would start over Josh Allen?

[–] PlayonWurds@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

He's a flopping bitch. That shit is inexcusable.

Josh Allen has won more playoff games in his career than the bears have won since 1995. He’d be a god in Chicago

[–] kinikijones@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Based on his first 2 years in the league you would probably be trying to run him out of town lol. There’s nothing that the bears have shown to say they can develop a QB and Allen’s turnovers have picked up since Daboll left also.
