In this episode of The Basement Boyz, we dive head-first into one of the most polarizing quarterback conversations in the NFL right now.

We break down Josh Allen’s playoff performance and ask the tough question many fans are afraid to say out loud: Did the media excuse his poor play, and if so… why? We compare how Allen is covered versus other elite quarterbacks and examine whether narrative, market size, or expectations play a role in how criticism is handed out.

We also shift gears to one of the most debated young quarterbacks in football — Caleb Williams. Is it already fair to place him in the elite QB conversation, or is the hype getting ahead of reality? We discuss talent vs. production, expectations, and what truly defines an “elite” quarterback in today’s NFL.

🎙️ Topics covered in this episode:
• Josh Allen playoff performance analysis
• Media narratives around NFL quarterbacks
• Double standards in QB criticism
• Caleb Williams hype vs reality
• What defines an elite NFL quarterback
• NFL playoffs & quarterback legacy debates

In this episode of The Basement Boyz, we dive head-first into some of the biggest and most controversial storylines shaking up the NFL right now.

We start by reacting to the shocking decision to move on from John Harbaugh and what this means for the future of the Baltimore Ravens franchise. Is this the right move—or a massive mistake?

Then we break down how the NFL playoffs impact quarterback legacies, discussing which QBs have the most to gain and which ones have the most to lose under the brightest lights. From pressure-packed moments to long-term narratives, playoff football can change everything.

We also address one of the most tired storylines in football: the Lamar Jackson choking narrative. We explain why it needs to stop and how context, roster construction, and expectations play a major role in how quarterbacks are judged.

Plus, we stir the pot with a hot take you won’t want to miss—should kickers even be considered football players? 🥴

To close it out, we make our case for why Justin Herbert is firmly in the elite quarterback tier, despite team results and playoff criticism.
