It's tough playing quarterback in the NFL. Especially when you're a highly-paid superstar like Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen.
NFL QBs can play the game of their life in a loss and still receive the majority of the blame, whether it was really on them or not. Fair or unfair, that's simply life in the NFL.
Allen didn't play a perfect game, by any means, on Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles. He sure as hell played a great game that should have resulted in a resounding win, however. Especially with how well the Bills defense played in the first half of the game.
In other words: Allen bears hardly any responsibility for Sunday's end result. Yet, ESPN analyst and former Super Bowl champ Ryan Clark had an issue with Allen's play on Monday morning.
It gets even sillier when putting Clark's take side-by-side with one of his own tweets he posted during the game. He literally said Allen was playing at an MVP level, yet said the Bills QB doesn't do great things on live TV:
It's one thing to have logical discourse about topics and obviously, things are very fluid in the NFL. Opinions and mindsets change on a week-to-week basis and the slightest thing can put a player in a completely different light than the one they were previously in.
But to say someone is playing at an MVP level and then turn around less than a day later and say they aren't doing great things is preposterous and short-sighted, at best. Clark knows every word he tweets/says is going to be heard/viewed/seen – whatever. So, he's either doing this to get his impression count up or just to make the producer in his ear happy.
Either way, it's not a good look, but hey – whatever brings in the clicks and views, right?
