A recent poll querying NFL experts regarding their opinions on certain players revealed critical remarks by an anonymous executive concerning Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, a sentiment that Fox reporter Erin Andrews sharply criticized.
The anonymous executive pointed out that Allen has thrown 47 interceptions since 2020—the highest in the league—labeling him as “one of the more overrated players in the NFL.” The executive elaborated on Allen’s perceived shortcomings, stating, “Immense talent but he makes a lot of mistakes. He’s underdeveloped at winning at the line of scrimmage, tends to lock on to targets, more of a thrower than precision passer, forces throws into traffic.”
Responding to these remarks on her podcast, Calm Down with Erin and Charissa, Andrews voiced her disapproval of the executive’s anonymity, urging them to openly stand by their critical comments. “Like come on, if you’re gonna say something by that, say it with your chest. Take ownership,” Andrews expressed. “I’m afraid, so I’m gonna say something mean. It’s like Twitter. Shut up.”
Her co-host, Thompson, chimed in on the nature of anonymous sources, hinting at the complications they introduce without delving too deep, as she noted her own propensity for excessive candor.
Despite the criticisms, Allen is typically considered among the top quarterbacks in the league, frequently ranked in the top three or five. While his tendency to turn over the ball has been noted, it hasn’t prevented the Bills from securing the AFC East title and advancing beyond the first round of the playoffs for four consecutive seasons.
