I have no problem with making risky throws during training camp and preseason. Josh Allen protects the ball well when its game time IMO. Perhaps to well.
If I could pick one part of J K's playing style I would like to see rub off on J A a little, it would be Kelly's fearless gunslinger mentality throwing the footbball.
Elite players are great. On the other hand for every elite player on a football team having good depth and a balanced roster becmes harder to accomplish IMO.
How many elite players do the Patriots have? Not many IMO, and when you go to find a weak link?
I realize the guy is just getting started , but Mahomes is a great example of a QB using his wheels to extend/make plays in the passing game IMO.
I'm just saying...
What decides it for me is who stands to have more success without the other and its Tom Brady IMO. If say Brady teamed up with Harbaugh and the Ravens by way of example.
BB is a great coach, but does he beat Harbaugh/Brady?
We have a few Championship caliber HC's in my humble opinion. Only one GOAT in Tom Brady.
Myself personally Gu, I think the odds of Brady teaming up with good coaching and supporting cast would be higher then BB finding another QB as good as Brady.( next to impossible )
with all due respect
Expanding the playoff format is a better idea then adding 2 games to the regular season IMO.
I think the players might be more agreeable. Towards the end of the season we have teams more interested in the next draft playing teams preparing for the playoffs.
I would prefer two 8 and 8 teams fighting to advance over a 14 - 2 team playing a 3 - 13 team in a meaningless game.
Lets not forget Newton has also scored a career 58 TD's on the ground. Combined run and pass 28 more TD's then RW at this point in their pro careers. RW 212, Cam Newton 240
(Cam has started 10 more games then RW)
Chandler is making a point. Wins or losses during the preseason is not a good indicator.
How can it be when the actual starters have limited play time.
True that,
Players fighting to become the starters, the backups. Players fighting just to make the team. Competing at a time when wins mean nothing by way of standings. Everything to a players future in the NFL.
Who sinks, who swims...
I'll bite OP,
Upgraded Oline and a more settled QB position should produce better results this year both pre season and regular season IMO. A little continuity.
Myself personally, winning is nice , but as much can be learned from a loss during pre season in my humble opinion.
Lonely is the night when you find yourself aloneYour demons come to light and your mind is not your ownLonely is the night when there's no one left to callYou feel the time is right,
say the writing's on the wall...
I'm just a hunk, a hunk of burning loveJust a hunk, a hunk of burning loveJust a hunk, a hunk of burning loveJust a hunk, a hunk of burning loveJust a hunk, a hunk of burning loveJust a hunk, a hunk of burning love
Underneath the bridge
The tarp has sprung a leak
And the animals I've trapped
Have all become my pets
And I'm living off of grass
And the drippings from the ceiling
But it's okay to eat fish
'Cause they don't have any feelings
