I literally hear Josh Allen described as a "backyard" QB. When I hear "street ball" I think that he's playing in an entertaining way. Honestly, in the way he plays, I can see how someone would come to say that. Maybe this was just an insult from some salty bitch who missed out on a chance to draft him, I dunno, but EVERY athlete has his or her detractors, and sorry but I just don't see coded racist language there. Maybe I'm too unhip to see it, I just don't understand the inherent link between black people and street ball. If it's going for the "growing up in the ghetto" thing, that doesn't even make sense because Mahomes' dad was an MLB pitcher and he grew up very well off.
I'm willing to get educated. Maybe this was a coded racist comment that I don't understand. Even if it was, the overwhelming majority of people think (wrongly) that Mahomes is the best QB in football. I even encountered a gentle he/him on Twitter dot com who asserted that if you don't think Mahomes is the best QB in the NFL, you either don't know anything about football, or you're a racist. Only those two options. I'm sure I don't need to do a deep delve to assert that he's not even close to the only dipshit to think this way. I'm a Bills fan. I love Josh Allen. I think Josh Allen is the most physically gifted QB of all time, and even though Mahomes has achieved more, I believe Allen is as good, or better than Mahomes right now. Does this make me a racist, or a person with a slightly homerish take who really enjoys Allen's style of play and personality?
I hate it. Mahomes is going to go down as an all time great. Everyone knows this. I just don't know why we have to insert what is essentially phantom racism. And deep, deep down, I like Mahomes. When the Bills beat themselves in the playoffs last year, Mahomes took a timeout on celebrating with his teammates and ran nearly the length of the field to find Allen to give him a hug. He's fantastic. This is our Brady/Manning, and I would like to appreciate this special time in football for what it is.
Sorry if I rambled or went on weird tangents. I'm tired and haven't had my morning red bull yet
