     Not surprised I can see Amazon throwing a boatload of money at him to be part of Thursday Night Football or something. 

     

    He would revolutionize media.. in that he'd freeze up in front of a mic and not say anything?

    Bass manned up and spoke to the media. Diggs dissapeared during playoffs, then ducked the media

    I don’t understand the need for Diggs to speak to the media after a bad day at the office.  It’s his choice.  I don’t need to hear him apologize for a fumble or a dropped pass.  He’s also won us a lot of games.

     

    Yet Josh puts himself forward to be scrutinised for very missed pass, fumble and interception. Bass presented himself despite missing that kick. Sometimes people have to front up.

    Mix and match Allen/Mahomes and Reid/McDermott

    He isn't dumb at all.  I wouldn't put him on the processing level of Brady or Mahomes but he is far from dumb.  Sometimes Josh made the wrong read yup.  All QBs do though.  Part of the problem was also spacing issues.  The offense makes a defender in conflict.  The DB had to choose to commit to covering one receiver or the other.  Josh needed to read that.  The problem is that a lot of times the spacing was so close that the defender wasn't truly in conflict at all.  He could sit almost in the middle of the two players and jump either receiver when the ball was thrown.

     

    Josh is an enigma.  A unicorn.  There is a lot of access to film now.  Fans have grown into scrutinizing and nit picking every single play.  The media nitpicks every single play because its Josh Allen.  I don't think this happens for any other QB in the media really.  Maybe it does and because I am a Bills fan, I don't see it but I have never seen a QB get so nit picked on every single play.  That just magnifies the bad when a team loses games.  In Allen's case it even does so in the wins. 

     

    I assure people that bad plays happen for all QBs.  We seen Mahomes over throw 2 TDs in this game alone.  It wasn't even his only two mistakes.  If they lost that game I doubt Mahomes is looked at as harsh as Josh is almost every week.  Instead of the receiver drops being magnified... or even talked about really, we are nit picking where he should have thrown the ball 2 yards beyond the los instead.  Think people do that for Mahomes?  Hell no, they say ohh his receiver dropped a TD pass.

     

    Yes, because in the media's eyes he's earned it. He's got Super Bowl rings. He's been awarded the MVP. Josh has neither. Add that to the media running him down pre draft and it's a heady concoction.

     

    The Bills do not have a problem at QB. Worse QBs than Josh have won the Super Bowl. But year by year, fairly or unfairly, the 2017 draft looms large. What if... if only... Especially in the sliding doors scenario @Albany,n.y. brings up above.

     

    Personally, as talented as he is, I don't think Mahomes' personality would suit Buffalo. In comparison, Josh is a Bill through and through.
