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 seems like it takes a couple years before people will admit a low drafted QB is actually good. I bet by next year that narrative will be completely shifted and people will finally recognize Purdy as one of the best

Honestly I think if he beats the eagles next week the narrative will shift then

Dolphins are in first place, the Bills are currently missing the playoffs. Players on successful teams always get more accolades.

Fair point.

We were hearing this about Josh Allen since he was drafted.

I mean hurts has similar turnover numbers and TD numbers and the front runner

[–] TheYoungLung@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Because many of Tua’s fumbles are because of bad snaps and other weird issues. For example yesterday he put the ball right in the chest of the 4th string rb and the guy dropped it. That fumble stat goes to Tua.

Don’t get me wrong he’s had some bone headed moments with poor ball security but ever fumble has definitely not been his fault

I mean. Bills might miss the playoffs and the Dolphins are winning the division.

taps sign Wins are not a QB stat

[–] Impossibills@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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.
