DONE DEAL: JOSH ALLEN has confirmed a $150 million quarterback contract…
Myles Garrett, a pass rusher for the Cleveland Browns, was recently asked which quarterback in the NFL he feels is “unfairly hated.” His answer, which might surprise some, is Josh Allen, the standout signal-caller for the Buffalo Bills.
Ahead of Super Bowl 58, the star defensive player for the Browns told USA TODAY Sports, “The guy’s a hell of a player and he’s putting up stats that we hardly see in the league.”
Josh Allen, according to a Cleveland Browns star, is “unfairly hated.”
Fans of opposing teams are the main source of hate for quarterbacks in the NFL, especially those who are in the starting lineup. In Allen’s situation, it makes sense that fans of the New York Jets, Miami Dolphins, and New England Patriots are not overly enamoured with the Bills star.
Beyond that, though, Allen doesn’t appear to be the target of widespread animosity. Having said that, you can hear some authorities and prominent individuals disparage Allen. Although Allen is coming off a season in which he recorded a career-worst 18 interceptions, the hate may be a little stronger today. Despite this, he still managed to pass for 4,306 yards and 29 touchdowns, add 524 running yards and 15 rushing touchdowns — more than double
Having studied the starting gunslingers of Cleveland Browns opponents, Garret, who was just named to his sixth Pro Bowl and won the 2023 Defensive Player of the Year award, is well-versed in the quarterback position in the league. His primary duty is to track them down in the pocket, so it goes without saying that he has consumed a fair amount of Josh Allen hate while studying.
In any event, during the Cleveland Browns’ 31-23 loss to the Bills in Detroit during Week 11 of the 2022 season, was the last time Garrett and Allen crossed paths in the NFL. Allen finished 18 of 27 passes for 197 yards, a touchdown, and no interceptions in the game, while Garret got a sack.
Garret, who was recently nominated to his sixth Pro Bowl and awarded the 2023 Defensive Player of the Year, is well-versed in the league’s quarterbacks, having studied the starting gunslingers of Cleveland Browns opponents. Since his main responsibility is to hunt them down in the pocket, he has undoubtedly drank some Josh Allen hate during his studies.
In any case, the last time Garrett and Allen saw each other in the NFL was during the Cleveland Browns’ 31-23 loss to the Bills in Detroit during Week 11 of the 2022 season. In that game, Allen completed 18/27 passes for 197 passing yards, a touchdown, and zero interceptions, while Garret had a sack.
