    My claiming to not be all-knowing is “quite the take”? 

     

    Further, I’m not calling for a civil war. I mean I’m laughing that I actually have to write that. 

     

    Youre a guy who argues by assigning a ridoculous argument to your opponent. A lot of times that’ll work as your opponent argues a point that’s not even their own. 

     

    He’s not. But you’ve already made up your mind. 

    How dare he make it sound like you've said something ridiculous.

    Oh I don’t think there will be a civil war. I’m talking brown shirting polling places. Yes it’s a Nazirific idea — but some things the Nazis did worked.

    Huh?  How could Beane have sent the letter to you figuratively?  You asked "Why not send this letter to all fans?"  How were we supposed to read that question other than literally?

     

    You asked a literal question.  Several people, including me, responded to your literal question, pointing how stupid it your question was.   Then you get all upset and defensive and tells us you didn't mean it literally.   Please tell us what you DID mean, because we all seem to have missed the point.  

     

     

    figuratively doesn't really make sense either since the only thing that could mean is why didn't they send it to more fans which what other larger list of fan addresses do they have?

    He seems to think he was put in a bad situation (is Buffalo’s offense much better?) and that he still has the chops to be a franchize QB. I mean, maybe. 

    I think it's the combination of the Giants taking Darnold and the Jets taking Allen. The Bills were clearly positioned to get and in serious need of a QB and Rosen was kind of the leftovers.

    Another Carolina connection....folks cannot deny the trend with decisions.

     

    That being said, I do like the hire... I think he will be solid in the role.

    That kind of makes the Carolina thing irrelevant to it then doesn't it. I mean if you don't want them to hire someone just because they knew them from Carolina you sure as hell shouldn't want them to not hire someone just because they knew them from Carolina.

    Well, I don't think I'm one of Allen's detractors (though some might disagree) but when I read that, my first instinct was to roll my eyes and say "how about a contest who can throw the ball to the endzone leading the receiver just enough to avoid a pick with the game on the line the most times out of 10 trials"?

    So I would guess the criticism would be that it's a sign of Allen valuing his arm strength over the qualities that might actually make him a successful NFL QB.

     

    But I also think it's just "joshing around" for fun.

    He didn't really assign any importance to it though he was asked who could throw it further between the two of them and his response was they could have a contest.

    I've learned that you shouldn't use the word "Accuracy" when talking about Josh Allen.  Accuracy doesn't apply.  Use Acumen. Allen isn't inaccurate.....at least that's what i've read here.

     

    I stand by what I said...if he wins..."wow, too bad he can't actually throw it to a target etc etc."  ....and if he loses. "not only is Pat Mahomes better in every statistical category, he can also throw it farther than Allen too!"   ....just let everyone wonder...Bills fans take some pride claiming to have the biggest arm QB in the NFL.....why do something that might change that?  

     

    Frankly...there are videos out there, easy to find, show Mahomes throwing 70+ yards in the air...including one where he does 60 from his knees...

    Are you really saying that if he throws it further than Mahomes more people are going to spontaneously consider him inaccurate because that doesn't make any kind of rational sense. On the other side if Allen lost to Mahomes I wouldn't care because he's more than proven that he has one the strongest arms in the NFL so what's the big deal if he doesn't throw it quite as far as someone else in the running for strongest arm.

    1.  I'd love to see it.

     

    2.  This is a lose / lose for Allen.  If he lost, then one of the few positive, tangible, claims Bills fans make "Allen can throw it further than anybody!" would no longer be valid......and if Allen did win, it likely wouldn't be by much, and it would only serve to further highlight the obvious issues with passing acuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuumen.  

     

    He'd be better off just leaving things alone and letting Bills fans believe he has the biggest arm ever.

    This doesn't really make much sense I mean if he does somehow lose I doubt it's by much and like you said it's not the most important thing especially to the degree difference there probably is. If he wins, what the people that complain about his accuracy will continue to complain about it...I'd bet they keep doing that contest or not only it would be confirmed he can throw it further which sounds like a net positive to me.
