The more I see of Josh Allen the more I am convinced he needs to sit and watch for a couple of years, and even then I think its a long shot. The odds are against every quarterback coming out of college, and not just players from a spread offense. I think the success rate is somewhere around 30% for all quarterbacks drafted. When I watch Allen I see Deshone Kizer and EJ Manuel. Players with all the physical tools who just arent accurate enough to be big game guys.

Haha. We will see at the combine I suppose. I do remember you posting there were rumors he was 5'9.

One of maybe six quarterbacks in this years class who meets the Parcell's Requirements. Seems to be a winner, but man does it appear he throws a lot of interceptions for that level of competition. May be more Tom Savage than Joe Flacco. Havent been able to watch much game film outside of that exact highlight example from youtube.

I think this should be a good barometer for Mayfield, if we ever get those measurements. I have to say, I am a big fan of Baker's game, but start of the week isn't looking good for him. Find it wacky he showed up late, and then followed it up with his agent saying he may not play at all. Using the excuse "lesser known players will be vying for snaps." Better to not show up at all, than to show up and act like you're doing the game a favor by being there.

I see you're getting flamed for this but I agree 100% with what you're saying here. He is the best that's ever done it. I enjoy disliking him as a Bills fan, but I also appreciate how good he is at what he does. Just a bad draw that he gets to do it against my team twice a year.

Was thinking this exact same thing last night after the Pats game. They are the two players I've watched during my lifetime where you kind of knew the game belonged to them. Anyone saying the difference is Brady lost isn't accounting for the difference in playoff formats in the respective leagues. Jordan did lose championship games, it just wasn't one and done like it is in the NFL. I personally think they are the two greatest players I have ever seen. Brady made Belicheck, its not the system because the system didnt work anywhere Brady wasnt.

Ill say he comes in at 6 even. Maybe 5'11 3/4

Feel like you may be missing my point here. You specifically asked why Cousins record is worse than Tyrods. I made my point in correlation to that question and that question only. Cousins isnt a great quarterback he is just good. Tyrod is a way below average quarterback who should be a backup.

I dont want Cousins. You asked why Tyrod had won more games. Simpliy put the difference in their win percentages is neglible and Cousin played better teams. Frankly I think Cousins is above average for the NFL as currently constructed so no way Id pay him top five money. On the Tyrod point, we currently have a bottom five player at that position at we need to upgrade. Doesnt change the fact Cousins is better than what we have.

The Redskins play the Eagles, Cowboys and Giants for six games a year. They play in a much tougher division, and in all honesty a much better conference. Cousins is worlds beyond Tyrod as a quarterback.

His mechanics are good, like a kid who has practiced them everyday since he was 12. However, for a guy who is 6'4 he sure gets a lot of balls batted at the line of scrimmaged. watched six games on him and was very surprised by the amount of times that happened. On Josh Allen, I am blown away by the amount of love he gets. Dont see it at all.

Thats if he weighs 212 pounds. Some sites have him listed as low as 199. Also may have something to do with his poor footwork, accuracy issues, and the fact that he is way more of a dynamic runner than he is a passer. Get the feeling Klemko is alluding to something different here considering the list he put together.

Kinda funny if you replace the words Buffalo with Syracuse and Dareus with Mike Williams this same exact article was written when the Bills signed Mike Williams and St. Doug picked him up at the airport.

Wonder if he loses more street cred for the DUI or being a millionaire driving a 2006 Dodge Charger?

I have literally no time for people who blame their environment for being a sub standard human being. A.) If you know enough to blame your surroundings for your poor behavior, then you recognize your behavior is poor, and rather than fix it you find excuses to keep doing it. This tells me you're beyond comfortable with being a bad person. B.) He is not the only human ever to have lost people or grown up without positive role models. Not 100% of those same people grew up to be 30 year old children, so that tells me its about the person not the situation. He got paid and didn't live up to his end of the bargain, so he got shipped out of town. Hopefully for his long term existence he realizes its not the world's fault he keeps finding himself in bad situations.

Went back and re-watched every throw from three games for each of the top rated passers in this years draft, including Allen. Walked away with the same impression I had of him after watching three games earlier in the season. He may have the best arm I have ever seen, but with that being said I think he is the kind of Quarterback who will be drafted on potential alone, and really shouldn't be picked before the third round. Even considering the lack of talent around him he has gigantic meltdowns during games and doesn't do a good job of bouncing back from them. Even his "most impressive" game of the season against Central Michigan was a bit of a misnomer. Feel like he is a project quarterback and I truly hope the Bills dont consider him in the first round.

Its time they found someone who is going to think outside of the box. Outside of maybe Matt Canada, hiring any of these guys would be no different than keeping Dennison. If the reports are correct, Chudzinski's offense is historcially worse than Dennison's and McCoy's is on par and only marginally better in the passing game.

Says the coach who would rather trade him that out right release him.

I think you nailed it. Taylor, Glenn, and Hughes are gone.

I think it ends up being Bradford, unless Alex Smith is released. I dont see McBeane giving up draft picks and I also dont see them paying 25 Million dollar a years for Cousins. The best option for now and later is to pick up Bradford at 9-10Million a year and draft someone in the first round.

Everyone keeps saying Kyle wasnt the same player he has been in the past, but from what I saw this season was on par from what we usually get from him. The difference this year is he pretty much had a bologna sandwich next to him all season. I mean the guy had Ricky Hately next to him against the Jaguars and Fournette got nothing.

Gotcha. Someone on twitter is complaining the players ignored the fans.

So did the players really ignore the fans like people are posting? Or is that just a random person who is predisposed to being bitter?

They need a legitimate pass rusher and faster linebackers. However qb is first and foremost and they need 2.

Agree. He made big time steps this year. Dont think he will ever be a pocket passer, but one more year cant hurt.
