You need to remember that Allen is putting up top10 numbers across the board throwing only to wideouts. He has literally no running game or TE threat. The offense and by extension the entire Buffalo Bills franchise rests entirely on Allen to Diggs, Allen to Brown, and Allen to Beasley. What he's doing this season is nothing short of extraordinary.
The rushing yards and TDs are great. He's not a terribly efficient passer. The fact that he's considered a top5 QB or MVP candidate right now is ridiculous.
Yup and not just coverage- they can just shade everything to WRs because we have no tight end threats either. What makes Allen's season so remarkable is that it's literally the only threat we have and every team we play knows it. That's why when Brown goes down it falls apart- the entire Bills offense is Allen to wideouts and basically nothing else.
Like I said, I think he's a fine QB that is getting a lot of hype. That's the Jackson comparison I agree with, not necessarily their skillset. I think it's clear Murray is a more competent passer of the football at this point.
When that play happened in-game I thought it was either a very strange play design or Diggs ran his route poorly...but after seeing the coaches film it just looks like a good/lucky call on defense with bracket coverage on Diggs. And a great play by Peterson to sag off his man knowing he can cheat a little peek at QB with help
Murray looks like a nice QB. Allen looks like one of the best in the league, there’s no comparison imo. He’s ahead of Murray in YPA, more TDs w fewer INTs, more attempts, better ANY/A, everything really. I don’t see the Murray hype
I think it’s instructive to look at both yards AND points/drive to get a better understanding of offensive production on a per drive basis. The Pats offense is not turning those drives into points whereas top offenses like ours, KC, LV, Green Bay, Arizona are.
