My issue with the idea is twofold: replacement value on average of RB vs DB and their relative importance to how the team functions. We know the Bills are currently built defense-first and while it's true that McDermott can get results from average defensive talent, his defenses have traditionally relied on a top performing DB (White now, Norman previously) as counterweight to his defensive line scheme and allows LBs to cheat a little in coverage toward the opposite field. I don't believe our current defense can be run without a top DB. Thus, the gap in replacement value of White v another DB is >>> than McCaffrey v Singletary imo. All things being equal, I stand by my post that you'd rather have your best player be a defensive back than running back.

It's way less of a problem than your best player being an RB.

Would be interested in knowing who you consider the top 3 to be then.

You really outdid yourself here.

^yep let’s pack it in lmfao Couldn’t have asked for a better summary

lol keep spinning

So you didn't mean this I assume.

Yards Don't overthink it

Just say you expect him to be a finished product by the end of Year 2 so you can justify dumping him after his third year in the pros. Then we can stop having this conversation.

Allen was, in a solid QB class, a near consensus top10 lock. Absolutely nothing like the the players you mentioned. He had (and has) all the physical tools. The knock was how raw he was. So he comes out his rookie year showing all the flaws he carried from Wyoming and a lot of the gifts that got him drafted @7th overall, then follows it up w/a sophomore campaign that improved nearly across the board...and people are mad at what exactly? That his development appears to be right on schedule? FFS the kid said this as a junior in college- “The NFL will be there,” Allen says a day later. “I don’t want to be the guy that gets drafted in the first round, plays four years and then is out of the league. I want to be a guy that plays 15 years with the same organization and be one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game.’’ But 2020 will definitely be the year that decides it for everyone lol right

The majority of posters IN THIS THREAD ALONE are the ones who, if you read back through the thread on draft day, were in their feels 1000% about 'wrong josh/right josh' They were wrong then, they're still wrong now. They won't acknowledge it. It's time to just let it play out and they'll either eventually have to change their tune or just pretend they were on board all along.

Maybe @SDS can provide some data on site traffic for the 'nobody rejoices when Allen fails' argument Anecdotally it does not wash in the slightest

Any moderator or regular Sunday/Monday poster can confirm traffic here is WAY higher after a bad Allen game than a good one or a win. There is a contingent banking on Allen failing. It's indisputable.

You're going to love Diggs He's not huge but he plays way bigger

Yes when healthy those two are very solid, good call Jones was up and down this yr but he's got talent. And imo Golladay is a monster

Your analysis astounds. 'Doubling down' by getting a WR1 for your developing QB. And calling Milano a 'hit' . That's...revealing. You deny it?

Also Golladay/Jones Jr

Yeah we're just doomed time to pack it in hoss

Beckham Jr and Landry would contend as well imo

Don't waste your breath ^^^already made up their minds on Allen

Yes several imo Kicker/punter/long snapper Quarterback MLB Left tackle

Of course they would.

Just so I have this right: you want to use Allen’s college off target throw percentage as ‘solid evidence’...and I’m the one with the cult mentality. Are you being serious?

You think college off target throw percentage is ‘solid evidence’
