Josh Allen stinks and doesn't pass my eyeball test

I personally think Josh Allen stinks. I've watched him play every time. He doesn't pass my eyeball test, which is, as most people know, probably the hardest test to pass.

Opinion CFB Hot

While Allen became a superstar in the NFL, at the time of the draft, his college stats and 'eyeball test' were highly controversial, making this a common but ultimately incorrect evaluation of his potential.

Josh Allen is number one on my 2018 draft big board

I made my first big board today. Josh Allen's number one, and then I don't have anybody else until like six... Just remember he's tall. He's tall? That's all you've got to do. Hey, guess what? He's got a big arm... he looks good in shorts.

Prediction CFB HotSarcastic

While initially a joke about Mel Kiper's love for 'tall' QBs, Josh Allen was drafted #7 overall and became one of the best QBs in the NFL, though he wasn't #1 on most real big boards.

No short quarterback has ever won a Super Bowl

If you are walking on the street and someone says, hey, I love Baker Mayfield, you say, hey, Josh Allen's tall. You've got to see over your offensive line. No short quarterback has ever won a Super Bowl.

Fact Claim Football ScorchingSarcastic

This is factually incorrect. Drew Brees (6'0") won Super Bowl XLIV and Russell Wilson (5'11") won Super Bowl XLVIII.

The media is inflating the severity of Tom Brady's hand injury to give the Jaguars a reason for people to watch

If the Patriots are playing the Steelers and this hand thing happened, they wouldn't even be talking about it. But they know that the Jaguars, they need a storyline, they need a reason for people to watch, they need a reason to believe, so they're inflating the severity of his hand.

Opinion Football Medium

Brady did have a significant cut on his thumb that required stitches, but he played and won, suggesting the injury wasn't as debilitating as some feared.
