    Even if you are pessimistic about Allen, what are you most concerned could lead to his success?

     

    1. That winning games will count more than completion percentage.

    2. That Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott might actually know more than I do.

    3. That people will notice that after months of arguing that the Bills would never pick Allen, I just cant accept that I was embarrassingly wrong.

    4. That being wrong about the Allen pick, I must spend hours working on a thinly disguised crusade against him in a futile attempt to rescue my credibility.

    5. Nothing, I am 100% convinced that Allen won't succeed but as a Bills fan I do support him. No, really, I do. Believe me, I do. Totally.

     

    Subtle as a sledgehammer.  My regards!

  2. In one year the McBeanes took a team with the longest drought in major sports, dumped a boatload of the so-called stars, upended a loser culture, straightened out the salary cap situation, and methodically, systematically positioned themselves to draft a franchise-type QB.

    Oh, I almost forgot.  They ended the drought.

    A+.

  3. Analytics is what Pro Football Focus does:  You watch a game and think someone played great, but analytics says they were bad.

    Then you watch a game and think someone played bad, but analytics says they performed well.  

     

    Analytics is the quack science which teaches us how to doubt our lyin' eyes.

  4. On this side we have unemployed millennials in their underwear in Mom's basement with their Josh Rosen poster on the wall, seeing how many times they can insert the word "suck" into a sentence.

    On this side we have the McBeanes, who have risen to the upper echelons of their lucrative professions, and are about to make the pick which will have more bearing on their professional futures than any decision they have ever made.

    Hmmm, whose judgment has more credibility?

  5. When EJ was drafted, I can remember turning (as we all did) to YouTube to get a sense of his abilities.  I was instantly dismayed.  I'll say it like that and leave it at that.

    When Allen was drafted, I again turned to YouTube to see what Beane had brought us.  (As you might surmise, I am no college football/draft fanatic.)  The reaction I have to Allen is the polar opposite of the reaction I had to E.J.  This kid has the IT, the WOW, the ways and the means.  

    Since then I continue to read (on this most enlightened forum) how he sucks.  I am not seeing, at all, what my more enlightened fellow posters are seeing.

    Trusting my own two eyes, I am thankful we have a QB with such possibilities.

    great piece by Albert Breer from SI.com today in which he details why teams were legitimately scared off by one element of Rosen's persona: like Jay Cutler's downfall, Rosen will not allow himself to be coached by someone he deems not as smart as he.

     

     

    Considering that Rosen had a 29 Wunderlic (Josh Allen had a 37) it won't be difficult to find coaches that are smarter than he is.
