Coleman isn't that kind of guy anyways. He wins with physicality, and that's actually probably a more reliable, more durable way to be good as a WR in the NFL in the long run.

Basically they're good, but I don;t think you can use them to say Lamar isn't as good as his advanced metrics say. Hell is basic metrics. % on Target doesn't care how open someone is But even then we've SEEN him throw into tight windows!

I think Lamar and Allen (in that order) have seperated themselves as the two most complete QBs in the League, and both are elite inside and outside the pocket. Every fall we gotta get through "Lamar Jackson isn't a great passer" and I have no idea what this man has to do to upend that incorrect claim

Not just overplayed, wildly wrong

https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2024/passing_advanced.htm On Target % 3) Joe Burrow 9) Lamar Jackson 15) Patrick Mahomes 22) Josh Allen Bad Throw % (higher rank is good) 4) Joe Burrow 16) Lamar Jackson 18) Patrick Mahomes 31) Josh Allen Avg Depth of Target 8 - Lamar Jackson 13) Josh Allen 27) Joe Burrow 34) Patrick Mahomes Completed Air Yards per Cmp 7) Lamar Jackson 17) Joe Burrow 19) Josh Allen 35) Patrick Mahomes https://sumersports.com/players/quarterback/ Pass EPA 1) Lamar Jackson 3) Josh Allen 5) Joe Burrow 8 - Patrick Mahomes Success Rate 4) Lamar Jackson 5) Joe Burrow 6) Josh Allen 9) Patrick Mahomes There's a very easy arguement to be made - both metrics and eye test - that Lamar Jackson is the best passer alive Like do you know what kind of unicorn you have to be to both highly ranked in depth of target AND % accurate balls?

Bills can only make 8 such designations per season You haven't watched much of Lamar passing have you?

considering all the bumps from training camp that's a fairly clean Injury report

Just google harvard in the news and see what comes up. Gussing it relates to all of that

We got the good on offense to keep up, but clearly the Ravens back 7=8 is better than Buffalo's, and the Ravens run game is going to give this DLine an insane test right out of the gates. Not sure how that's gonna go. Keon needs to win his routes to keep the Ravens D honest. Bills Front 7 has to be able to contain run enough to keep the Bills secondary from creeping. Ravens WRs aren't all that fearsome per se. Bateman and Flowers are good not great weapons. TEs are again good but no longer elite. This really comes down to the run game and how hot Lamar Jackson gets

What do you think is a HC job in the NFL? They aren’t CEOs anymore. They’re incredibly hands on with the game plans

Oh hey another box safety who’s almost a linebacker

I'd like to remind folks that the Bills almost went to the SB with Levi Wallace at CB

That's not really how the NFL operates. For example the Broncos probably run the most man in the league, and they do less than 50% of the time

McDermott has done well with less than this. Elite schemer. Think he’ll be able to protect the D enough to give Josh a chance to win games even if Tre isn’t there or struggling

STOP

Love to see that kind of development

That playcal still cracks me up. Their DC intentionally gave up yards and maybe even points by consistently bringing pressure in a certain way, just so he could reverse it on a single, key, 4th down. If that brilliant or insane? Or is that purely a function of outcome? Because a way to read that is if the Bills had scored a bit more, then he wouldn't even have been in a position to bring out that particular punchline he'd been setting up

In fact, he should be a random, mostly anonymous player. Every team has that kind of player starting for them. Like our offense, it's Torrance. I couldn't tell if you how good or bad he is just because I lose him from all the other players around him

That would be a waste of cap space. I mean Darrick Forrest was a back up player for a team that made the NFC Championship game last year. And he just got cut in favor of Hamlin

But I'll also say if you just leave Damar in the box, he'll actually play WELL. His run fits are pretty good, he rarely misses tackles, almost never misses an assignment. He works around his lack of speed with being great in the film room and being instinctive on where to be. Where he runs into trouble is in coverage where doesn't close well, and has to play conservatively to make up for a lack of speed

right, he's a borderline starter/reserve for a team wanting to go to the SB. That's the entire definition of being average

He wasn't the reason why the Bills struggled on D last year. I mean pff is just another data point but: again an average player. In a Capped league, you need average players

I still don't get why people get so mad about Damar Hamlin. It's like if he DIDN'T almost die, then the majoriuty of the opinion would be: average player, pretty good in the run game, can struggle in space, needs to be smart in coverage to overcome a lack of speed in the 2nd level of the secondary
