The FACT is, the two architects of the two best offenses in the last two decades BOTH traded for or paid a fortune to acquire Sammy Watkins, in consecutive years.
And one let him go immediately, in exchange for the lost value of a 1st and 2nd round pick, and I guarantee the other is having buyer's remorse right now. You think if Reid could go back in time and trade his contract for a secondary, he wouldn't do it?

McVay wanted him. They made an offer. He came out publicly and said several teams were throwing out crazy numbers and they weren't likely to match them.
A year after trading a 2nd round pick for Sammy, they let him go to another team, then paid a 1st round pick and a $16.2 million average salary for a different receiver. Whatever McVay said about it, he lied. They could have saved a 1st round pick in exchange for an extra $800,000 in average annual salary. They didn't think Sammy was worth that. And for the record Chiefs fans aren't happy with what he's contributed at all.

PFF has him as the best QB in the NFL the past 2 weeks. I doubt that will stick but that's certainly major progress.

zay jones may very well likely end up with better numbers than watkins. wrap your head around that!
This season Sammy only has 17 more receptions and 165 yards more than Kelvin Benjamin. How does that happen?

This guy has 17 less receptions and 200 yards less than Sammy Watkins this season. That's really, really bad.
I don't know if that's more embarrassing for Benjamin or Watkins

The Carolina fans I knew thought he was a fat bum and they were better without him.
That's great for the fans you know. I'm telling you Carolina fans almost across the board hated Marty Hurney for that trade. Their Kelvin Benjamin thread on the Panthers forum was as long as ours was here, and as much as we liked it their fans hated it even more. So did Cam Newton for that matter. Why Benjamin turned into a worthless player both on and off the field, I couldn't tell you.
Zay has been their worst draft pick so far. They'll have a chance to rectify it next year. Criticizing players that they used a 6th and two 7ths on is nonsense, and you know it.

They were with this guy when he showed up looking like a o linemen in Carolina. Yet, they traded a draft pick for him and started him for basically a full season.
Carolina fans universally hated the trade. I know because I visited their forum immediately after to see their reaction. I mean they HATED that trade. You wouldn't believe some of the stuff I read there. He was never elite by any means but he was young and showed potential. For some reason he completely gave up after the trade. I don't know what the hell happened. Better to cut our losses and move on. WR will be a huge priority this offseason and they know that.

I guarantee other refs will have it out for Hughes the rest of the season. Officiating across the league is a total joke, somehow worse than ever.

This move does, however, take us from having the worst WR corps in the league to having the way worst WR corps in the league.
I would argue it does the opposite.

When he saw the ball wasnt going to make it he started coming back. WATCH
You can watch for yourself. The all 22 view is a few posts up. While Allen is running left, Clay is still drifting slowly to the right. I don't think he believed there was any chance the ball was coming back to him. Which for 90% of QBs would be correct. When your QB has a rocket arm and starts scrambling you have to run with him. He should have been coming back to the goal line before the ball was even released. He tried to recover too late and he still could have made it in time but he misjudged the trajectory and dove too early. Not only did he give up on the play, he screwed up the catch. I don't blame Allen at all. It took a heroic effort to get the pass that far.

Did anyone post the all 22 view yet?
Look how long Clay is standing still in the endzone while Allen runs in the opposite direction. I think he assumed he was out of the play, and by the time he realized Allen could get the pass to him it was too late. He gave up and couldn't recover in time. Disappointing to say the least.

For all his strengths, he is not a particularly accurate passer.
This is totally different from being an accurate passer. He is not a particularly accurate passer, as in he will never be known for his consistently precise ball placement like Brees and Brady. That is not the same thing as saying he is an inaccurate passer. The comparison to EJ Manuel is perfect. Allen made at least 3 throws yesterday that were more accurate than anything Manuel ever threw when you account for difficulty of the throw. Off the top of my head the sideline pass to Zay, the 2nd TD to Zay, and the ball thrown to McKenzie on I think the last drive of the 1st half. Those were all extremely accurate passes. I'm pretty sure after his first 2 inaccurate passes he only had 2 more.

Allen was very exciting yesterday but how was he better than Rivers putting up 300+ and 2tds on a 7-3 team? PFF is kinda silly.
PFF includes QB runs in their grading. Allen actually had more total yards than Rivers, and he didn't have the benefit of LBs covering Keenan Allen.

Ayoooo tell me this isn't a drop-
That image doesn't even tell the whole story. Clay doesn't need to be on the ground at all. He needed to take two steps forward while the ball was in the air. He completely misjudged the trajectory of the ball.

I have a couple versions of his information. I'll start with strictly passing stats, but also include total stats. In order of how I've got them ranked:
Mayfield: 7.45 YPA, 5.08% TD%, 2.82% INT%, 6.21% Sack%, 6.46 YPT, 4.49% TD%, 2.99% TO%
Darnold: 6.69 YPA, 3.81% TD%, 4.84% INT%, 7.27% Sack %, 5.49 YPT, 3.53% TD%, 4.41% TO%
Allen: 6.40 YPA, 2.62% TD%, 3.66% INT%, 12.04% Sack%, 5.28 YPT, 3.32% TD%, 2.95% TO%
Jackson: 7.01 YPA, 2.60% TD%, 3.90% INT%, 7.79% Sack%, 5.48 YPT, 3.01% TD%, 2.41% TO%
Rosen: 6.12 YPA, 3.66% TD%, 4.03% INT%, 9.52% Sack%, 4.94 YPT, 3.18% TD%, 4.14% TO%
So on a per pass attempt basis, Allen has been better for Yards and INTs, Rosen has been better for TDs and Sacks.
I don't even care about their full season stats. I'm more interested in how they progress. Rosen is exactly where he started, Darnold was trending way down before his injury, Mayfield was trending up before this week, and Allen has been trending up. Still a lot of football left to be played though.

The critique of Allen by a Football Outsiders guy said it best about Allen's passing game, he said;
"The conundrum with Allen is that these flashes -- the moments of pure brilliance -- come so few and far between. Allen dazzles once or twice a game with a play that feels impossible, only to look like a late-round pick for the remainder of his appearance."
That's exactly how that game went. This past game was much better and his best of the season easily, IMO anyway, despite having had 2 INTs, both pretty much his fault.
At no time in yesterday's game did Allen look like a late round pick.

Some of these opinions are quite interesting to read...especially thinking back to conversations on this board in February and March.
Credit to you for being the first scout (amateur or otherwise) on this board to say he could be something. He's certainly changed my mind. He could still fall off but I'm feeling way more confident than I would have ever thought possible. I mean I always thought the completion percentage thing was overblown but I did have concerns about his accuracy.

13 yards???? The ball hit Charles Clay's hands....how long do you think his arms are?
He joined the board 24 hours ago and his posts are 100% negative. I'm gonna go ahead and say that's not a coincidence.
-
I don't understand the obsession with completion percentage. I'm as big a stats guy as anyone but that is the worst stat to judge a QB by. This is the top 10 in completion percentage this season:
Brees
Ryan
Cousins
Mariota
Wentz
Newton
Rivers
Manning
Luck
Carr
Tom Brady is ranked one slot above Brock Osweiler in that stat.
I still go passer rating, YPA, and ANY/A. It's dumb to rank rookies on stats anyways, I just want to see progress and Allen is showing that.

Other than say Moon and Rogers and Wilson and Elway to a degree?
Your act is ridiculous at this point. The 7 th start for the kid. He makes plays, and that's what you need in a QB.
Everyone should stop bothering with the troll. Earlier in the season he was claiming Peterman was going to turn out to be our franchise QB. That's as bad as it gets.

I’ve said this for weeks now. If you think Allen will ever be surgical in the way Brady is, you may be waiting a long time. But you don’t need surgical accuracy to be better a franchise QB.
Exactly. He will never be Tom Brady. Neither were Favre or Elway. I don't expect a 65% completion percentage but the whole field is open when he has the ball in his hands. He can throw it anywhere or he can run right through the defense. That versatility is just as valuable as pinpoint accuracy. You can still score points with his skill set, it just looks different.

I referenced that but he was being diplomatic. If you think about what he said, he inferred that he should have known Zay was going to not do what the play called for. In his PC, McD inferred that Zay was supposed to sit.
McDermott defends Allen a lot. Even on the interception, which I thought was Allen's worst throw of the game, this is what he said:
He's basically giving Benjamin as much of the blame as Allen for that interception. Whatever the fans think this regime is all in on Allen and they're going to overhaul his supporting cast in the offseason.
OK. I'll Say It-Allen will be best Bills QB ever

Don't be so pessimistic. Allen will be the greatest pro athlete of all time.
