    I didn’t argue he was inaccurate but that he completed 4 passes in 45 minutes of game clock in a pass happy Nfl. 

     

    Thats a concern. Any which way it gets dressed up. He overcame it but it’s a problem that had to be overcome. 

     

    Coupled with only 8 catches and one being a 75 yarder... unless you think that’ll be a regular ratio, or somehow representative of normal play it’s pretty tough to lean on a YPC stat like that. 

     

    And you need to realize Daboll isn't going to be aggressive with his play calling if the Bills are winning or in the game.  So try and realize it isn't all Allen.

    The reason I had Lamar as my #1 QB in the class and still do is because his running ability is so insanely special that even being a below average passer should be enough for him to be a good starting QB. With the exception of Baker, I don't think any of the other rookies are significantly better throwing the ball than Lamar is right now. In fact, I'm not sure they're better at all.

    Thank goodness an opinion is just that. It doesn't have to be backed up by real football knowledge. Even below average football knowledge gets their say.  America, isn't she great.

    You need to get your official TSW Rose Colored Glasses.  I don't have a pair myself so I see Josh Allen as the average (at best) rookie QB that he really is but once you put those glasses on then Josh Allen becomes 2018 NFL Rookie of the Year.  

     

    :)

    Lame post. As you are finding out, he is a winner. Unlike cerain posters.

    Allen is not going anywhere and there is no rush to say that. What if Barkley just plays well and never lets up? You never know where your qb is going to come from. It doesn’t matter how you get here. It matters how you play when you are here

     

    Allen will start. The Bills are out of contention for the most part. Now you develop your franchise player and hope the line and receivers keep improving. If the line and receivers didn't play as well as they did, Barkley would have gotten flushed out of the pocket, or knocked around, or intercepted, or seen a rash of dropped balls. Then the run game would go to ***** and the linemen would get a ton of penalties . Part for the course.

     

    The team had one of those games where everything clicked. Kind of like the Minnesota game.  Barkley could be a pretty good backup, but history tells us this game was not the norm. Barkley had started for better teams than this and didn't fare well. The hope is Allen learned enough sitting that he will improve. Having the team play as well under Allen as they did for Barkley will help ensure that. I am not trying to take anything away from Barkley, but he is not the answer. This year is screwed, so find out which players are going to be back next year and who won't while getting Allen experience. Plus let the cards fall where they will and get good draft picks.

    What does this matter so did Jamarcus Russel. How’d his arm help him

    Maybe if Russell bothered to train or learn the offense, he could have done ok. They gave Russell a blank tape several times to see if he watched the game plan for that week against the next opponent, and he would say he watched it. Of course when he said he watched it and never complained that the tape was blank, they knew he didn't watch it.  Big difference between him and Allen. So your comment was weak.

    The Cleveland Browns never did that. 

     

    So if there is a QB you like next year in the top 5 you pass on him without seeing Allen do anything through the air? 

    If you really understood football then your posts wouldn't reek so bad of ignorance.  They are not letting Allen play a vertical game. They are designing game plans around the run, screens, and getting the ball out quick. And listen to any NFL commentator, and they all say his receivers get no separation on their routes. Same is said when Anderson is in at qb. Thus the interceptions for Anderson of trying to squeeze it in. I guarantee you Allen can throw for 300 yards a game. But that won't teach him to read defenses. Judge our qbs after we get some decent receivers.

     

    If you recall, Allen actually looked better earlier in the season . But they don't give credit to qbs when his receivers drop touchdown passes or other well thrown balls. Then teams realized all you had to do was blitz our qb, or wait for our Oline penalties to add up and take us out of drives, or for our receivers to screw up or quit on their routes. If they ever let Allen attack the defense again, then teams will quit loading the box for the short game Daboll is using to make up for a less than desirable line and receivers.

     

    You put all the blame on the qbs. It goes a lot deeper than that. It is a combination of qbs, play calling, line, receivers, special team's, and sometimes the defense. We atracked in the 1st half of the Minnesota game, then went to a conservative approach in the 2nd half with a lead. It looks like they stayed in the conservative approach since then. No vertical game, which kills a team who can't run it consistently.

    Nice straw man there, not even close to what I said. In fact, I’ve said the opposite in this very thread. I’ll repeat no one in their right mind thinks that Mahomes would duplicate his current performance here. However, Mahomes could have been drafted, sat a year behind Taylor, different player decisions made by the FO etc. You must think Mahomes would be terrible in Buffalo, Allen would set records in KC etc? 

    Another what if guy. Lovely.

    Allen is by far the worst of the bunch and that is the point that most of us tried to make before the draft. There were better options available. The other 3 aren't going to make the pro bowl this year either but Mayfield and Rosen were my top 2 and they look the part. Darnold is all over the place and I was never a fan because he's too inconsistent. The key to the QB position is accuracy and consistency. Darnold has the accuracy but Allen has neither. It wasn't hard to see what the outcome would be. Teams drafted them because of the other things they can do but I don't remember Brady or Montana jumping over dudes to get first downs. But they were both accurate and more important consistent.

    Are you saying Mayfield and Rosen are the next Brady and Montana? Goober time.

    I think that anyone who thinks the qb in Buffalo is the main problem doesn't know football. And hindsight is retarded. And if they threw Peterman in for Tyrod, Mahomet would have been in by game 3. And no chance to sit and learn. And Andy ReI'd helps any qb under him more than probably any HC out there

    I’ll conjure a guess, regardless of anyone’s stance on the 2018 QBs. Many fans have shifted their focus onto the possibility the Bills waited a year too long to address their QB deficiency. 

    So Mahomes would shine with this cast? KB and others would magically start getting separation and catch the ball? The line would improve in leaps and bounds? Lol.

    This post is so strange it makes my head hurt. 

     

    This cant be your true feeling.

     

    You’re just playing devils advocate, right?

    I can see where it is the receivers fault where Peterman thew the pick six to lose the game.... the receiver should have instinctively known Peterman was going to throw a late pass to him and knocked down the cornerback before the ball got there. Isn't that a receivers job? No way should the qb have not looked the cornerback off. Or better yet, not thrown the pass. But let's blame the offense, even though it allowed Peterman to throw for a TD.

    The sad thing is that if Josh does not work out, choosing him (and everything we did to get him) will set this franchise back even further.

    If, if if.

    You seem to have forgotten that they also traded the 21st pick in the first round and Cordy Glenn to move up to 12 and then traded 12 and the 53 and 56th picks to trade up to 7.  In the last trade, the Bills gave up a premium to move up (according to the Ringer, 167 cents on the dollar):

    If the Bills had just picked Mahomes (he who some say shall not be named), the Bills would have been able to keep all of that capital and could have had Mahomes take a year behind TT as he did last year behind Alex Smith.  The Bills also could have used some of those assets to improve the offense around the QB.

     

    Hindsight always turns out pretty good don't you think? And what about all those other teams that didn't snap up Mahomes? Are they ranting like you goofs? It is what it is. Every team and every fan can play the what if card. Doesn't change a dang thing. Get over it. What if another team took Jim Kelly and you got one of the dud qbs? It doesn't work to play the what if card. Nothing changes.

    Watching him run on ad lib plays WAS fun, but that's not what I want my QB to do, nor is that anything close to a reliable method of winning football games.

     

    His highlights have mostly all come from his legs, not his arm.

     

     

    And at least he has that to fall back on until he progresses and we get some offensive help. I swear Bills fans can be some of the most negative people. I am living through Wyoming winters and a coaching staff that is clueless. I have put up with a Wyoming football program on par with the Bills, but I have never come even close to the negativity that this site gets to. Thank goodness for the good posters on this site. I need to look up the suicide rate in Buffalo one of these days.

    No kidding?!?

     

    And another jab at Allen. Do you ever come up with anything resembling real football talk? Showing off your ignorance on the subject. Nothing is going to change, so why not come up with real solutions that might actually happen.  Like getting new offensive personell, like receivers and linemen. Maybe come up with some players we have a shot at. But bitching about Allen every other post is idiotic. What did he have to do with today's blowout? Did he not wear the right street clothes? We're his headphones on crooked? Get a clue.
