bro i had us at 13 wins this year

This is absolutely correct. Sometimes I notice Milano likes to shoot his gap instead of plug/plant which can be an issue, he's not on balance and relying on his athleticism to make a play against talented fundamentally sound offensive lines/schemes like Eagles last yr and Rams this year...not a great idea.

Yup everyone missed his legs which is to say they missed his overall athleticism which is to say they missed a lot

I can tell you playing strictly DVOA against the spread is losing fwiw

We all saw it. He took a bad angle and missed the tackle.

If you have some examples that would be helpful, otherwise not

Correct. Epenesa shows his inexperience and allows the TE to move him which kills Johnson's angle. Edmunds is playing Bgap, Milano Agap

Here's one from Cover1. Do you see where it breaks down?

It does seem very clear to me that Allen is held to a weirdly higher standard as compared to his peers wrt 'bad plays' like...all all talk vs Jets was the miss in the endzone when in the exact same game this pass was thrown lmao

I though Williams had his worst game tbh after two very good ones

He meant for him to be considered for MVP. Those are the attributes of MVP caliber players.

They're frontrunners. Zero sand. The Ravens run it up on bad teams and fold when they're behind in big games. Humphries admitted it after they went out to Tennessee last year.

I liked him coming out but there’s nothing there imo

Wentz top 10 lmfao

Through 3 weeks Allen Wilson Rodgers Mahomes Goff Ryan Prescott Tannehill Carr everyone else

A combination of Allen taking a big step, Diggs, and not having a statistically anomalous drop%

I guess I don't see 'not a truly bad passer' as wildly positive, more damning w faint praise. And again, with all of those examples listed, Schatz chose to use Fitz as his main comp. Regardless...I don't care personally if people aren't singing his praises, I think it's odd he hasn't garnered praise similar to that of comparable achievements by young QBs (of which there aren't many through three weeks)

I could do with fewer opinions to tell you the truth

What it actually says is this: '...So no, the Bills' berth in the playoffs this year is not etched in stone, especially not with the Patriots showing they're not going anywhere anytime soon. But Allen likely isn't going anywhere either. The worst veteran on this list is Fitzpatrick, a member in good standing of the NFL's middle class of starting quarterbacks. Truly bad passers simply don't play like Allen has in the past two weeks.' If you're incapable of discussing this without bringing whatever bias you think I may have into the discussion, we can leave it here. If not, we can discuss how 'not truly bad passer' translates into 'wildly, overwhelmingly positive'

I don't think it will help much. Jackson can throw the TE seam w/anticipation because it's a straight read and always a mismatch. There aren't a lot of routes that true WR1s excel at (versus JAG wideouts) that Jackson can also exploit. He can hit spots between cover2 but you don't need a top wideout for those go routes, that's why Brown was so successful getting downfield. Jackson's reads from the pocket aren't sophisticated enough to take advantage of everything a top WR can do. He needs to learn the position. They have set that offense up to maximize his effectiveness which has had the curious additional effect of stunting his growth at the position. They need to bring him along because he is not going to improve playing zone read/option and single read sets.

Jackson will be fine, but he's going to continue to have games like this until he learns to make all the throws.

I think the point is that reasonable people (I include myself) can successfully argue that there exist an inordinate amount of paid professionals who, in any other comparable situation as proven in the past, would be praising to the heavens a young quarterback putting up the kind of numbers Allen is through three games right now. Now the level of accolades I personally don't very much care about, but the consternation (and it's there and easy to find) is indicative of the whole 'inaccurate big arm prospect' and imo wholly unprecedented. Usually these guys love trying to find the next great young QB. This is the guy who runs Football Outsiders and once called Allen a 'parody of an NFL quarterback prospect'- It's just a weird way to frame his season thus far...the article grudgingly ends up comparing him to Fitzpatrick. If you think that's a fair take then so be it.

Not hard to find. They start talking about Allen and the Bills around 5:35 It's not at all strange to think that people are invested in their predictions about Allen and can't come off their bad takes.

I anticipated it. Defenses tend to fall back when he isn’t playing and improve when he is. It’s just that casual fans don’t understand what he contributes.
