Bomani Jones Calls Josh Allen a 'Moron' Over 1 Pick, Defends Lamar Jackson for Similar Error

Summary
Jones used a Monday YouTube clip to call Allen a "moron" after a game-losing interception and mocked the idea that the Bills quarterback should still be treated as an MVP favorite or the NFL's best.
Two weeks earlier, Jones reacted far more softly to Jackson's late interception against the Saints, saying the Ravens star is a sure-fire Hall of Famer, praising his first three quarters and suggesting Rashard Bateman may have run the wrong route.
The report argues that contrast fits a longer pattern in Jones's Allen-Jackson commentary, including 2023 criticism after both quarterbacks threw costly picks in losses to Kansas City.
League evaluators cited in the piece rated Allen higher entering the season—ESPN's survey put him No. 1 and The Athletic's 50 executives and coaches ranked him No. 2, while Jackson placed fifth in both.
