One Buffalo

I posted this in another thread last week, seems relevant to this discussion-

Have to say I agree with Brady Quinn- https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/making-a-case-for-josh-allen-as-the-nfls-best-rookie-quarterback-over-baker-mayfield-lamar-jackson/

We live in a world of micro-analysis. We like to pick things apart down to the finer details and then make general conclusions. But while there is value in looking at every throw, it isn't necessarily a good measure. Josh is a rookie, and he is going to make bad throws... lots of them. But so did every other rookie QB before him. He will continue to learn and develop. McBeane will add more complementary pieces, and we will see more progression as Josh grows with the team being built around him. He has shown enough flash and ability to make throws that few can make to warrant expectation of a bright future. Picking apart every throw is good for him to do with coaches, to learn from. But for me, I just need to see him progressing and trending upwards... which he is.

I agree, I too am very optimistic going forward. And as frustrating as these last couple weeks have been, I would much rather have Allen learn these tough lessons this year. He will be better for it later. I expect that next year's team will look remarkably different, and in theory should have improvements in key areas such as OL and WR.

I am starting Allen in my playoff game this week, never would have guessed that I would be doing so. But his play has warranted it, and I decided I would hate myself if I didn't play him and he has another big game. I am the lowest seed playing the top seed (league has no bye) so I need a boost from somewhere!

I am drunk on the kool-aid... starting Josh Allen in my fantasy playoffs over Winston.

Broncos don't want KB... take Andre instead-

Interesting stat that confirms what many are saying... definitely an addition by subtraction move.

Allen hasn't been sacked once today... quite a turnaround from early season.

So are you saying that you wish we took Mahomes? Strange... I have never heard that one before. Please tell me more...

I haven't read the whole thread, I am sure this has been said many times, but my thinking is that there is so much more to this. Sure Mahomes looks incredible, wish we had that here. But he is like the spark hitting the well built bonfire... we have a bunch of soggy driftwood. Put him here and we might have some sparks and maybe a smoldering fire, but nothing like the blowup that we are seeing in KC.

The funny/strange part of this "report" from Vic is the comment that "Allen's playing status will become clear as the week goes on..." as if it is not already clear?? Most other reports are saying he is out this week.

Well I guess I am saying this report doesn't seem to indicate surgery and missing all of 2019. We still need to hear final conclusion obviously. Hoping for the best!

If the sprained elbow report it true then that is good news... much better than the UCL reports
