This argument is completely ridiculous when considering the fact that the same "racist" NFL front offices drafted numerous black QBs in the top 10 and even with the first overall pick years and even decades before anyone knew who Lamar Jackson was.
I listened to this earlier and there is a consistent attitude of dismissiveness from certain former players who are now in the media when it comes to Allen.
Cam Newton (who Josh is most compared to) has gone out of his way to downplay Josh while lifting up Lamar.
Keyshawn Johnson can’t seem to give Josh any respect but makes all kinds of excuses for Lamar.
Richard Sherman had Rasul Douglas on his podcast and he did not ask one question that mentioned Allen.
They and some others like to say it doesn’t matter what Josh does until he beats the Chiefs in the playoffs while Lamar only quarterbacked his team to one win against the Chiefs in the regular season and also has not beaten them in the playoffs.
We are in a time when it seems like half of the quarterbacks in the NFL are black and I’m here for it. While I appreciate the progress that has been made in the NFL. I also feel that Lamar should be held to the same standards as other great players who have come up short in the postseason like my goodness, he will most likely have 3 MVP’s! Come to think about it, maybe Lamar should be held to an even higher standard!
One player (Josh) does not need to be put down to elevate the other (Lamar). I just hope and pray that we win it all so Josh can shut up all of the haters.
