All I see are two elite QBs that people love to hate on because the league has either shoved them down their throats or people don't like to be proven wrong about being good or not. Chances are if you compare your QB against Tua or Josh they aren't as good as them with a few exceptions to that.
That's a good thing to point out - these days the hating/anti-fan energy (maybe because we're all terminally online to some degree) is much stronger than I remember in past eras. For example, it feels like fans of other teams (that have nothing to do with the Bills) will hate on Josh Allen as much/more than I did Tom Brady.
...But Tom Brady made my team his bitch for the better part of two decades. So I'd like to think my hate was more justified.
This is probably confirmation bias, like your take definitely is, but from my perspective, this is absolutely no fucking way in hell Josh Allen gets more hate than Tom Fucking Brady did from 31 other fanbases.
Agreed - I replied to someone else making that point re: confirmation bias which is definitely a part of it. Re-framing the sentiment I have slightly - with Brady I at least get it because, if for no other reason, people probably got sick of him. The Allen hate I don't really get because (and yeah, definitely wearing the fan bias here) he seems like a nice enough chap and frankly hasn't yet been shoved in everyone's faces yet to really elicit the "Man, I'm fucking sick of this guy yet."
