Yeah, it's concerning. But now flip it around. Imagine if he were deadly accurate on his deep passes but the least accurate QB in the NFL on passes less than 20 yards. Would you feel better or worse?

When I read the title, I thought you meant he went home from practice and my heart sank a little.

Perfectly fine by me considering the vaaAAAAssst majority of NFL passes are less than 20 yards down the field.

21st actually among the 32 QBs with 100+ attempts. But the broader issue is that this year he falls within the perfectly acceptable range of completion percentage if you're thinking of standard deviation. Last year, he did not. The 5 QBs listed with a completion percentage greater than Allen are no more than 2.4% higher. The 5 QBs listed with completion percentage lower than Allen are 2.3% lower. The bottom of the pack of Mayfield and Rosen are 5.8% and 9.2% lower. Those guys are where Allen was last year. And if you actually look at the list of completion percentage this year, those guys are the outliers on the bottom end and Derek Carr is the outlier on the top end.

That was Trump's original self-proclaimed number, but reports are that over the span of his life and after his death, Fred Trump gave his son nearly half a billion dollars through various means, along with the correction I made of his initial gift being over $60 million rather than the $1 million he consistently claims he was given. Bravo to the Donald for not pissing it all away!

Except that $1 million was reportedly actually $60.7 million. And over the span of the rest of his life, Trump's father gave his son over $400 million through various means. Plus, the inflation rate in 1975 was 9.13%. If you just invest that $1 million back then, you would have been a very, VERY rich woman... like part of the top 1% rich easily. Conceded my mistake. That's what you do when you make one. Still waiting for you to concede yours from earlier in this thread in the spillover from our previous discussion. I'm thinking with the sheer volume of personal attacks you dish out, your life must just suck. For that, I'm truly, truly sorry. Aloha! As you'll see above, I made a mistake on those numbers and I apologize. But go back to the crux of the discussion, which started with a post by @Foxx and I followed with a question. The point wasn't that Trump is a bad person because he came from money.

Yep. $1 million is just the very low end number that consistent liar Donald Trump has admitted he was given. The actual number given to Trump in 1975 was reported by the Times as the $60+ million I brought up($1 million back then is indeed worth about $4 million today. Combination of a couple hours of yard work, some beers and mixing some triangulate research together at the end of a long day is a bad idea. My mistake) The laugh that Trump is somehow a rags to riches story stands. Daddy's money got him a loooOOnnnggg way over the years, not just in 1975.

Not remotely close to how awful Darnold was against them. I thought Allen was awful against the Pats even though, truthfully, the team had a good chance to win if he wasn't knocked out of the game. A new adjective should be invented for Darnold in that game. He was nearly Peterman bad. And it's kinda funny the excuses being made about him on the post game shows regarding his youth. We're the same excuses made for Allen a few weeks ago?

Guess that's what happened

#1: Give me a friggin break. Maybe you know what it's like to have gotten a $1 million loan ($60+ million by today's standards), and if you do, congratulations! You got something the vaaAAaast majority of Americans have never and will never get. #2: The premise of this argument is that Donald Trump somehow came up from nothing. He did not. Without Daddy's minimum $1 million ($60+ million by today's standards), Donald Trump just... well... actually he's STILL rich because he's an heir, afterall. #3: I guess you can make the argument that Trump has "worked hard" to earn his money--though 6 bankruptcies, continued loaned money from his father and banks, and PLENTY of "shady" practices might disagree--but do you think that guy got his hands dirty a day in his life? Maybe you're confusing "worked hard" with a combination of birthright, arrogance, and not giving 2 $#!+$ about others.

I'm sorry. Go look up how much $1 million in 1975 would be worth today after adjusting for inflation and then come back with a straight face pretending that's not a LOT of money. What an absolute head-scratching statement. Do some of you seriously believe Donald Trump is the portrait of the "rags to riches" American Dream story? Sure seems like it.

I'm sorry I just can't even get past this part to read the rest of your post without you actually addressing it: Trump is a self-made man? The guy admitted himself that he got his start thanks to a $1 million loan from his father nearly half a century ago. That's the number Trump, a consistent liar, has repeated himself he was given to start his business empire. There's a high end report that he was actually given over $60 million at the time. Self-made man? C'mon man... And once you dispense with that premise and realize that Trump is just ultimately "Old Money," how the hell do you NOT see that he's ABSOLUTELY part of that elite class that thinks he's above us?

It's serendipitous you started this thread because this morning I really started asking myself: With John Brown, is a "true #1 WR threat" really the need we thought it was in the upcoming offseason? The guy has just been balling out. And he really probably should have had over 150 yards receiving yesterday alone if Allen connects with him on that deep ball he got open for and throws it to him on that 3rd down instead of Beasley like Allen should have. Other than I think one ball he dropped this year, Brown has been pretty spectacular and near flawless.

Anyone wondering Allen's 4th quarter stats for the whole season: 22/32 (68.8%) 312 yards (9.8 YPA) 4TDs 0 INTs 139.6 QB Rating

El Camino was worth watching solely for the minute or so of Todd singing in the car. I was dying laughing throughout that scene.

Wow... this entire thread has gone pretty wildly off topic.

Sounds like you're solely talking about his long passes. I just don't get this post, otherwise. He's sucked on his long passes this year. On the rest of his passes he's really improving.

And with Allen going 6/7 for 67 yards, 2 TDs and 0 INTs in the 4th quarter today, I think we'll all take that 4th quarter 146.1 Passer Rating. Curious where @jrober38 has been the last couple wins.

If the Bills were behind going into the 4th quarter, yes it technically counts.

With that 4th quarter I think Allen might push himself up to #1 or #2 in QB passer rating in the 4th quarter this year.

Seriously head-scratching. But I'll take those misses on the bombs if he keeps throwing it the way he is all over the rest of the field.

I don't understand what's going on with Allen's deep ball. I thought last year he was fairly accurate on his deep passes. This year he's just awful on them. Always overthrowing his guys. On the flip side, we've seen significant improvement on all his other passes. Knox needs to get out of his own head.

@Foxx... great post. The one that was really long that I don't want to quote. There are things in there I think I might come back to, but overall I appreciate the spirit of the post and thread as a whole. It's generally been civil. One question: you like Trump because he is "exposing the corruption of the elite class that thinks they are above us"... you seriously don't believe that Trump is part of that????
