Would you tackle a woman with all of your might? I would not.
I played against a chick when I was 14 or 15. She was the best player on their team ... I didn’t try hard and she ran my *** over... not after that play ?

Mahomes has the worst footwork I’ve seen by any first round pick in as long as I can remember.
Allen’s isn’t near as bad.
Thats my point

You appear to be confusing "character" with "business".
"Business" is how you value players, renegotiate contracts, etc. Players leave for higher money all the time. Teams renegotiate with vet players, including former all pro let alone pro-bowl players, all the time.
RI was already under contract to the Bills for the upcoming season, and if he felt he was worth more on the open market (if they released him) or the same amount of money as his current contract with the Bills, he had a simple sentence available to him: "No". He didn't have to go on a twit-fest firing his agent, saying he's retiring for medical reasons, etc.
If someone wants to sell me a car for $XX, and I offer them 20% less and they take it, how does that impact my character?
Because if you had great integrity and character you would’ve paid the person double for the car ?
thats character! Lol

Yeah I guess that's what Beane is talking about. He's used to running a whole field pro style offense. And his throwing motion is already a finished product. They must think that his footwork is his biggest problem and that it is fixable.
His footwork was definitely his biggest flaw imo but I don’t believe his footwork is as bad as Mahomes was and I think it’s correctable

This kid is so under-the-radar that he doesn't even have an NFL Draft Scout profile.
There are a lot of UDFAs and small school guys who don’t get profiles
Zierlin can’t watch them all lol

Good posts. This is what's keeping me hopeful about him. But then I hear Beane say that Allen isn't raw and I wonder what their plan is.
Realistically and honestly he isn’t as raw as EJ or even a Jared Goff
Goff never took a snap under center and played in the most gimmicky offense ever created. Before him no air raid QB has worked out.
EJ was in a FSU offense which cut the field in half for him and only asked him to make half field reads. He was also surrounded by NFL talent
Allen played under center over 40%. Made line calls and audibles at the LoS. Well versed in play action under center and ran an NFL style offense with NFL reads
If he looks like the best QB in camp you need to give it to him

For an amateur operation, Cover1 is really nicely done. I'm never sure he's completely correct on this stuff, but his analysis is always sound.
Here's my take:
1. You can't throw the ball with the velocity and, often, the accuracy that Allen does without having fundamentally good mechanics. All his measurables in the throwing area are excellen - release time, velocity, etc. The guy has fundamentally good mechanics. So the mechanical problems are not problems with his THROWING, which is what you find with plenty of guys who have mechanical problems.
2. Allen's problems shown in this article and videos are that his footwork in advance of his throw is sometimes flawed, which leaves him in the wrong position when it's time to throw. Then he delays the throw and misses the window or he hurries the throw and his mechanics then suffer, affecting his accuracy.
I think the difference between those two points is critical. I agree with those who say changing mechanics in an athlete at this level is very difficult. You can try to remake the throwing motion, but when the pressure is on in game situations, most athletes revert to the muscle memory they've developed over several years. What they practice on Wednesday goes out the window on Sunday. That's why most QBs with mechanical issues in their throwing motion, guys in category 1, never overcome the problem.
Allen's not in category 1. He has a great throwing motion. Allen's in category 2. Essentially, the problem Cover1 describes is that Allen hasn't learned the steps to the dance. Sometimes he's doing the cha-cha when he's supposed to be waltzing. That's a different problem, and an easier problem to correct than being in category 1. Any athlete can learn the dance steps. In fact, teams spend a lot of time teaching that. On most NFL passing plays, the ball is released quickly, and QBs are taught to take precise steps preliminary to the pass. THey're taught which foot takes the first step, how far, etc. Step, step, step, pass. It's all choreographed. Allen can learn that.
Where Cover1's analysis is more relevant is when Allen is forced to move or scramble. That's not most plays, but it's enough to make a difference. Then, Allen's ability to set a good base with his feet, not spread too much, feet moving, etc., becomes more important. Those things can be taught, but like the throwing motion, the question is whether the teaching will hold when he's under pressure. For that, we'll just have to wait and see.
Mehanics as you said come two fold... upper body and lower body... By 21 most upper body mechanics are set in stone... if you have been throwing a football consistently good for 15 years it’s tough to rebuild that and remake it... just leave it, like rivers
Lower Body is super important but not as set in stone. The drills , the attention to detail, opening up correctly can all be taught and learned easier than upper body mechanics
Joshs footbwork is already 20x better than it was in 2016 and he has been making a habit to focus on it... as you said he is not innately innacurate because he throws too many good balls with accuracy and velocity
His lower body is just not synced with his upper body yet... but above the waist , his release and motion is great

Josh’s mechanics are already 10x better than they were in 2016.
They have been on a steady incline for a while now... they are not as poor as Mahomes footwork and he has a lot of experience under center
even as “poor” as our line is, it is still going to be 20x better than what he’s ever had because it’s the NFL... He ran a complicated scheme at Wyoming and made all the calls at the line
Footwork is much easier to instill than upper body mechanics. There is a big difference between his footwork from 2016 to today which says his trajectory has been going up

He needs to be more consistent throwing. The offense is tailor made for guys running open
He is impressive physically though, even though the backup Drew Anderson might be a better natural passer

As a Bills fans there’s many decisions that likely have made you pull out your hair, or slam your fist down in anger....or at least shake your head. With the Josh Allen over Josh Rosen debate fresh on our minds, this is thread is dedicated to those times when the Bills have disappointed you with a key decision.
Heres a few from me and most have to do with coaches.
I remember really being sketical when Ralph Wilson made a statement by firing Tom Donahue, only to bring Marv on board as GM. But like many, I said I’d give it a chance. Then they hired Dick Jauron as HC. I remember complaining on the BBMB that Ralph was being a “cheapskate” with his hires. Of course I got banned from a mod named “nuebs”. I remember reading the old emails a few months ago.
Again I was really mad a few years later for almost the same reason. Buddy Nix was named GM and again there was a coaching vacancy. Names like Shannahan and Cowher were tossed around. And then I was sitting in an auto shop getting my car fixed and a bunch of salesman were talking. I heard one of them say “they are saying the Bills will hire Chan Gailey” who at the time was out of football. It was almost like in Star Trek, but instead of saying “Kahhhhhhhhhhhn,” I dropped to my knees and said “Nooooooooooooooo.” In the end, I think things could have worked out with Chan if a few things were different.
Those are my choices - let’s hear your’s......
Chan got the job because NO OTHER coach wanted to come here... we were in a sorry state and he was the only guy willing to deal with it
OBD, Russ, Ralph etc was all a mess... he did the best he could with UDFA and cannon fodder lol
Fitz became an NFL starter and Stevie Johnson got his $$$... 2 things chan did lol
