His differance in body compisition is wild. Seems like the time away may have done wonders for his body. Him playing 10% better is a boom for the defense.

I feel like he is at the end. Often injured. Noticable lack of burst.

Beane is not a guy to ponder roster decissions in the media. Just like edge rusher. Edge rusher was a concern. Beane drafted a guy in Rd 1 and 2. One offseason he signed 6 olineman. Another he signed 2 wrs day 1 of FA. What I am saying is that if he was worried about it he would fix it. Imo he is trying to motivate Knox to hopefully take a step.

Because he holds 0 accountability. Nothing is his fault. What did he do? He found Jerry Hughes.... He gave Fred Jackson a shot.

Same Era Wilson and Dak were drafted later in the draft. Players are all over you just have to find them. Hearing him talk takes me back to the clown car the franchise was. In fighting, media leaks. It was a disaster and Whaley was in the center of it.

Add this to the pile with he wanted Mahomes. Revisionist history. Sounds like he is trying to put his name back in good favor in NFL circles. He is who he is. Everyones fault but his own. Been this way from Marrone, to Rex, Ej, Mahomes

Agreed, but the guy they sit behind needs to be better or atleast established as the starter of the team. Most recent examples of Tyrod with Cleveland and LAC are exaxtly what will happen in Chicago. A lame duck coach grasping to every coach cliche plays the vet because hes a vet. By week 2 or 3 Fields will be the guy and the last 3 months wasted. So in June I ask why? Its not Garapalo returning from injury and the last season healthy he made the superbowl. In reguards to Allen. If from day 1, they built an offense that matched Allen strengths, and didnt have him split reps with Peterman would he have started out better? I think so. What kind of timing is the passing game going to have when they go from noodle arm Peterman to lasers from Allen. The coaching staff didnt prepare the offense or Allen for success year 1. Thats why success only came when Allen made crazy plays. Its Mcdermotts only mistep as a head coach. If Allen didnt invest in his own development it could have been disasterous.

Im reading it as last year he lost about 30 pds in the offseason. By losing that much weight he also lost muscle to go with it. The Bills want him in the 260 's. Being lean already this offseason he only needed to add 5 to 10 pds. Imo gaining back the muscle mass he lost.

This is stupid. Just like Allens rookie year. No one thought Peterman was any better than Allen. It slowed the teams and Allens development. Is Dalton the better qb today? Maybe? After Tc and Feilds abusing some back ups in preason will anyone in Chicago want Dalton to start? The Smith, Mahomes situation is rare. A playoff team with multiple 10 plus win seasons. Teams that go this route with back up qbs are delaying the inevitable. Also, not investing all of their effort into the #1 pick makes little sense.

It is not his fault Chi drafted him before Mahomes, and Watson. With that said he has played ok. Good td to int ratio. Good winning record. He has the talent to be an above average starter. He is the best backup in the league. I could see him pull a Hoestetller or a Foles if called on. I said it when he signed. Buffalo has the top 2 qbs in the division going off 2020.

Superbowl MVP. After that he can do what he wants lol

Wheres the old ertz thread. If we are going to engage in wild speculation lets put it where it belongs.

Mahomes led the league in dropped would be ints. It comes with the territory. Allen has gotten a feel of what he can and cant do. Imo he is too aware to be completely reckless. What makes great players great is making the improbable passes and throwing balls that seemingly have eyes to find the right hands.

Lets go. Send a 2nd a late day 3 pick in 23. Call it a day. Restructure Jones, Extend Allen and there ya go.

I think it could be done. Are you going to beat Mahomes playing ball control and defense? Or go toe to toe? The passing game is Buffalo biggest strength. Why not super charge it?

Everyone is differant. Some guys have to workout and do cardio to get to 320. Some guys like Spencer Brown have to intake an immense amount of calories to break 300. Guys are either cutting weight or trying to gqin weight. Neither is easy. O feel like Morse, Brown and Doyle are adding weight guys. The other guys like ford, williams, and dawkins are the other way.

Any one who picks Allen over Mahomes is a homer.... I talked about thier situations. Ifs and buts.. yadda yadda... the trending of Allens career can suggest he is player you want in 21. Third party voters had Allen as more valuable last year over Mahomes. Yet Bills fans are stupid in believing in it? I guess Mafia members had a heavy hand in the MVP vote than. Allen made himself a top 5 qb against heavy resistance among the national media. Finaly having a guy im taking that over anyone.

Ok Allen #2 in MVP Mahomes #3 case closed?

Call it make believe call it what you wish. If you are comparing Mahomes and Allen why cant you compare the players around them aswell? Yes, Mahomes came out of the gates flying. It took Allen sometime. I believe the situation Allen played in over his career contributed to his production and early on lack there of.

Buffalo drafts Mahomes. He wins the Superbowl in Buffalo? Yes, Mahomes has more accelades and was better sooner. Last year Allen finished ahead of Mahomes in MVP. Not crazy to think Allen does it again. Now 2 guys entering 21 are in similar positions. Because of 18 and 19 you want Mahomes? Fine. Call me a homer for liking Allen thats fine. It also doeant mean im wrong either.

Too many people cant remove circumstances from player evaluation. Also, first impressions are hard to over come. Both are against Allen. As a rookie he had to be superman to win games. Playing that way he made some ugly plays. Mahomes makes bone head plays as much as Allen but everyone remembers this dude in KC throwing Bombs to Hill and dimes to Kelce his first year. The system and players matter espically at the highest level.

Replace Jon Brown and Cole beasley. With Hill and Kelce. Plus, Hardmon, Watkins and either Willaims out the backfield. Mahomes doesnt win a superbowl or MVP throwing to the dudes Allen had. Diggs is the only skill player that starts for Kc right now. As a rookie he has Jones, Benjamin, and Holmes.... Allen gave Beasley, Brown, and Diggs career years. They made him though?

Cant hurt. He has the tool. Lets see if year 3 he can ball. Te is a position that take time and nuance. Picking things up from Kittle, Kelce and pretty much every top 10 TE cant hurt. He didnt play te til late. Was in a college offense that didnt know how to use him.

The world never got wild horse Mahomes. Allen was on a bad team. For every bad play, he made a good one and added an unreal play that was on the money and dropped. Year 2 Allen does what year 2 Mahomes does in KC. And Year 3 we saw what he did. Its not a homer. Allen had to figure it out on the job without a saftey net. Mahomes enter the all time best situation a qb entered.
