    Good point. But Cam Newton was a 5 star recruit and highly a developed high school QB entering college. Physically, he was already a man amongst boys in college. A fully grown stud. He was pro ready the day he walked out of college and into the NFL. 

     

    Josh Allen on the other hand, was a scrawny little boy in high school with limited experience as a QB. He was as green as they come at Wyoming and is still learning the position at the pro level. And while still very green, he has shown an aptitude for the position that is even more impressive than his arm and athleticism. And while his arm talent is second to none, it’s that aptitude and demonstrated work ethic that serve him best. 

     

    But I can’t expect those not more closely familiar with his story and persona to appreciate that.

    I hope Josh turns out better than Cam always have felt he is an average NFL qb at best.

  2. Josh Allen sucks Bills are doomed

    Those pesky “dropped passes”.  Been plaguing Josh Allen since his JV days of High School.

     

    If I were Allen, his agent or his parents I’d think there was some conspiracy going on.

     

    No matter if it is High School, College or the NFL.

     

    sub 60 % completion.

     

    I mean...what do all these WRs have against Allen?  No matter where Allen goes he just seems to have the worst luck of being stuck with WRs that cannot catch.  Or they are all out to get him.

     

    I mean those are the only two possible reasons, right?

    Josh Allen sucks Bills are doomed to another 17 yr drought.   JK

    Pretty objective piece.

     

    I like the kid and he's young and has room to grow into his game. Interesting to see how much Daboll works him into the offense.

     

    With Ertz on board the Bills can ease this kid's into his development and not overwhelm him out of the gate.

     

     

    Did i miss something? We signing Zach Ertz?

  4. And we all know its kinda silly trying to predict a players NFL career based on combine numbers or highlight reels. So many factors determine a players future. Work ethic ,preparation, how they treat their lady or kids and teammates, practice habits, mental fortitude, how they handle success and becoming a millionaire etc etc. etc. Maybe if we as fans could meet these prospects and spend time with them and interview their coaches friends and family lol but we  are entitled to our "takes" and we only have what games we can watch, stats, and combine numbers to go on. But surely we all see the futility in trying to say a player is gonna be a success or failure immediately after their drafted. Here's to hoping the Bills are getting more picks right then wrong so we can all enjoy future winning seasons.

    There are a bunch of different kinds of speed - the 40 measures only straight line top end raw speed.  Which is super important and I think in pretty much every case, the faster the better.  But, it isn't the whole story as running backs rarely get a 40 yard lane to accelerate through.  Acceleration in particular is the trait that most people think of when they watch "fast" players on the field.  

     

    Kareem Hunt is an oft-cited example - he ran about the same 40 time as Singletary and I don't know many people who wouldn't call hunt "fast" - he broke plenty of long touchdowns.  Their 20 yard short shuttle and 3-cone times were also fairly similar.  

     

    Not to say that Singletary's measurables will translate to the field in the exact same way, but why not cross our fingers and hope for the best.

     

    I said before, if Singletary ran 2 blinks faster, he'd have been a top 10 pick.

    and hopefully he treats his woman better too

    He kinda reminds me of Edeleman/Amendola,  kind of slippery, goes unnoticed. Seems exactly what the Pat*s like to have in the slot. Good grab.

    It seems to me they have  trying to find their version of Edelman for Daboll's offense for awhile now. Here's to hoping this kid  or better yet Beasley and this kid are the answer.

  7. i dont know why people get so caught up on 40 times. 4.6 4.5 4.4?  we are talking 1/1000 of a second difference here, a blink of an eye. I think if this kid succeeds its gonna be due to his vision, toughness  and quickness/ shiftiness in tight spaces, he seems to have a nasty jump cut.  What jumps out at me tho is he doesnt just dance around back there either when he sees a seam he plants and goes. If he works hard he has a good chance in my opinion.
