As others have stated, this Bills version will go as far as Allen. Really helps to have a Top 5, plus some weapons this year. Not outstanding Offensive players by any stretch, but an improved line, to try and ensure Allen doesn’t get killed! Allen reminds me of a Big Ben- Jimbo hybrid, much better runner, strong arm- but less accurate thus far.
Of that draft class, that ‘Running QB’ ? of the Ravens moves to the head of the class! Mayfield falls to number two. I’d like to believe Allen is next, followed by Darnold and Risen appears to be the bust of the bunch.
To improve?
* Less running + more sliding, especially on design Runs, plus always go outta bounds when reaching the sidelines, unless it’s a critical TD moment of the game. So many QBs... always Bills ones, have that problem.
* Design the Passing Offense to his strengths- 12 yard outs, curls & the odd bomb 3-4x per game.
* Receivers be ready! I haven’t looked at that tape yet, but was the Pick 6 on Beasley too? I’ve seen Brady, Rogers, Brees, P. Manning, etc., ALL throw those deliberately designed low passes- albeit normally at the flag for a TD.
Upon further review of my 10-6 prediction, let’s go to the probable Losses to see what’s changed. Not Cheatriots x2, not Philly or the Cowboys... but now the Brownies & Steelers are now possible. On the other winning side, Titans are now questionable and Ravens- uh oh! Could be a wash.
