7. Probably his Republican politics

I was born in the 80s so by the time I was watching football I didn't pay much attention to athlete's politics though events like the raised fists at the Olympics and Muhammad Ali were looked at as good things by sports journalists at the time so what little politics were mentioned was always considered good things by sports journalists but either way I didn't pay much attention to the political leanings of athletes in the 90s so there really wasn't a reason to dislike and when analysts like Bradshaw were critical I took Elway's side. Once I got to know him and his politics better I didn't like him as much anymore.

I have nothing against Josh Allen it is just that there is almost too much hype. Analysts love to pick Buffalo to make it to the Super Bowl which they have the last couple of years. I remember one analyst saying this post season with no Mahomes, Burrow, or Jackson in the playoffs Allen should have no excuse to not make it to the Super Bowl.
