Baltimore Ravens defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver says New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough reminds him of “a poor man’s Josh Allen.” Weaver makes the comparison while discussing Shough’s arm strength and traits as a passer, referencing the kind of skill set the Buffalo Bills’ Josh Allen is known for.

The outlets describe the remark as a positive characterization, though they differ slightly in framing. Fox Sports and multiple Yahoo Sports entries present it as a compliment “in a good way,” with Weaver explaining why the comparison resonates. One Yahoo Sports piece notes that the phrasing could be read as backhanded, but still treats it as bulletin-board material rather than criticism. Across coverage, the focus remains on Weaver’s stated view of Shough’s potential and why he draws parallels to a top-tier NFL quarterback.
