Was really surprised to see the difference in fumbles.

  • Tua: 3177 yards passing, 69.8%, 4 fumbles lost
  • Allen: 2875 yards passing, 69.6%, 3 fumbles lost

It just shows you the power of narrative. I’ve heard Tua mentioned as a potential MVP while no one is saying that about Josh Allen and some are even calling him washed.

And not derail the thread, but a similar thing happens with Brock Purdy. He’s currently out performing some pretty good QBs (and handily) yet somehow some people are convinced he’s worse than all of them.

It’s weird.

It's because people haven't seen his interceptions. Most have been when a drive is gonna die anyway and he's throwing an arm punt

Also he has 5 interceptions that aren't his fault at all

Despite having one of the lowest turnover worthy throw rates people say he is turnover prone

Our game against y’all from last year isn’t helping the narrative, either. Fumble on his own goal line late in the 4th and an INT in the end zone in overtime. I think that’s sticking in people’s memories.
