Josh Allen Is Way Better Than Brett Favre: Hot Take!
Man, I love hot takers, especially when they are ignorant. Think Skip Bayless, Jason McIntyre and now, Ryan McCrystal. Who the fuck is Ryan McCrystal?
Some douche who writes for Bleacher Report. Pretty much when I see Bleacher Report next to someone’s name, I automatically put them on ignore for sins against journalism, writing in general, sports and humanity. So this shitdick would certainly fall into that category. However, if he ever had any semblance of credibility, he lost it today.
Wyoming quarterback Josh Allen is going to be drafted in the first round this year. The kid has a cannon for an arm. Of course, he’s lacking in other departments, namely accuracy.
Still, there are rumors that the Cleveland Browns are considering him with the first overall pick. Enter John Dorsey.
I’ve had this discussion, as well. The thinking being, John Dorsey has (almost) always had QBs with rocket arms. Not Alex Smith but everyone else. And Josh Allen has the biggest arm. https://t.co/5djQogej6L

Everyone else being Brett Favre and Aaron Rodgers.
Oh, please dispute this, Bleacher Report’s finest NFL analyst.
Almost his entire career has been Favre/Rodgers/Smith. I’d hardly call those rocket arms. Favre and Rodgers can sling it, but they weren’t head and shoulders above all their peers like Allen is https://t.co/wqyNBs9ClP

And now we have a Twitter spat between a respected NFL reporter and a hot taking dipshit!
Tell me more about how Brett Favre didn’t have a great arm

And here is where Rapoport becomes a delusional Packers fan.
Only a delusional Packers fan could think Favre/Rodgers arm strength compares to Allen.
I think Allen is a terrible prospect, but we can’t deny his arm is historically great. Maybe the strongest ever. Can’t just compare that trait to other strong arms. He’s in his own class

Maybe the strongest ever! Based upon my inside knowledge of arms and their strengths (I am also botanist, please, ask me anything about plants).
So, Josh Allen, yes, the kid has a strong arm. Does he break guys fingers when he throws them the ball like Brett Favre used to do? Not that I’ve heard. I’d think that would be one sign of arm strength.
Can he throw the ball 70 yards at an angle that pretty much goes straight up into the sky for a Hail Mary like Rodgers did in Detroit a couple years ago? Maybe. I haven’t seen it. That seems like a good sign of arm strength.
But hell, what do I know? I don’t have a degree in arm strengthitude and botany like those clowns who get to cover the NFL for that bastion of delightful prose, Bleacher Report.
Funny, Mordecai brings up sins against journalism. Anyone else find this ironic?
Beat me to it. Like a hooker gettin’ in someone’s ass because she slings it around for ‘free’.
Relax, he is is just bustin some balls ya know, he doesnt mean anything by it hes just tryin to get his name out there ya know that’s all. Ryan, salute. Now go get your fuckin shine box!! Yeah, come on!!
When Allen lost his skill players, he was exposed. He cannot carry a team. Wyoming sucked this past season and he was a huge part of it. None of these QBs expected to go early in the draft are worth a shit. All have some kind of weakness that will be exposed in the NFL.
In my next life, I want to come back as some piece of shit college QB who gets drafted in the top 5 and signs a $25M contract when I’m 22 years old.
I wonder if Allen has a great arm because he uses Copper Fit magic products like Brett Favre.
1998 Quarterback Competition – Favre won distance with a 74 yard throw. I recall a few years earlier, he tossed his two throws out of bounds, and yelled “Gimme a ball” – and proceeded to toss 3 in a row around 76 yards, far beyond even Marino IIRC. I also recall some early throws in 95-97 where he was throwing 20-30 yards into the endzone (I think both Vikings and Bengals) and the ball was so fast the defenders couldn’t react in time to make the interception.
