  1. How does this compare to last season?  I mean short sample right now, but last year a lot of folks kept talking about how Josh was getting all sorts of time in the pocket which helped his success, this year so far he's not really getting kept clean.  Our PFF ranking on OL are woeful.

     

    Anyway, short sample, I also agree with what some other are saying, lots of teams playing 6 DBs and rushing 4 or fewer, clog up lanes for Josh.

    He's not anywhere near the level of Mahomes. He's not anywhere near the level of plenty of other QBs. And when you're paid the most guaranteed money in NFL history and the expectation is Super Bowl, that's a big, big problem.

    It’s fair to say that he was upper echelon in 2020, but that was a 20 game stretch.  Was that the real Josh or the one that struggled mightily his first two seasons, and has looked subpar this season?  Going to find out soon enough.

  3. None of this matters, draft as many guys as you can and hope they develop.

     

    Just because you have a 1st round grade doesn't mean you develop into a starter.  I used to be obsessed with the draft, now I just sit back and shrug.  You never ***** know, I was dead wrong about a lot of guys, dead right on a lot.  Biggest Bills miss was Allen, thought he had bust written all over him.

  4. I do think first round picks may be overrated, but having more draft picks is certainly not overrated.

     

    The more selections you can make the better.  If you can move back, or out of the first round, and collect more picks in doing so all the better.

     

    Do feel that sometimes fans value 1st round selection more than the known vet, however that doesn't mean it's fine for a front office to just light draft capital on fire or give it away.  Trading up or giving away multiple draft picks can be harmful, you need as many as you can get, no perfect answer here.

  5. It's hard to see Josh doing better in '21 than he did in '20, because that would be a historic NFL season, so his reps want to get something done now.

     

    Wouldn't be in any rush, I don't think we're going to get much of a discount anyway, going to pay market rates.  Lets see how next season goes, work from there.

  6. Going for 2 adds a marginal amount, Ben Baldwin has the numbers, it wasn’t bad but it wasn’t going to add much if they converted it.  Going for it on 4th wasn’t a bad move, I mean folks act like the kicker automatically makes it when there’s always a chance he misses.  Worst case you go for it, fail, and you pin team back where the chance of scoring a td is minuscule with that kind of starting field position.  I don’t think Reich did much wrong in that game, but morons will criticism him.

  7. Article isn't unfair, especially when you consider the author, Hermsmeyer.  Guy has never been an Allen fan, he's extremely critical.  It's only week 2, jury is still out, I think that's fair enough to say.  But it's also fair to think that Allen may be a bit better than most predicted predraft, including myself.  Still a long season. 

     

  8. Worry less about how well/poor Tyrod does, and worry more about the the way Allen plays for the Bills.  He was below average last year by every metric.  Fortunately for him the front office has gone out of its way to surround him with a good offense, now it's up to Allen.  I mean, Allen has yet to have a better statistical season than Tyrod, so again, worry about Allen.
