    Of all the throws he made, the one to Murphy was the one that bothered me the most. He just lobbed it when it should have been a dart. That was a QB aiming it instead of throwing it.

     

     

     

    He might no trust Murphy's receiving skills  He had a drop or two during the game  Don't know how he catches in practice  I would think a young qb might have a tendency to baby passes to guys once they drop a few

    What’s frustrating is our Oline is terrible but yet they’re having Josh Allen take 5 step drops and reading the defense.

     

    Id be calling quic hitters, pivot and throw. Substitute the run game with short passing game. 1-5 yd hitches, quick outs, slants, short crossing routes, WR screens, TE screen, RB motion quick outs/hitches, swing passes..... that would be 70% of the plays id call.

     

    i just felt a lot of the play calling was 5 step drops requiring Josh to read the defense and asking the Oline hold a pocket for 4-5 seconds. Vs get the ball out in 2 seconds.

    think the wrs lack the explosion to get open  I too would like to see mindless rhythm throw to get him comfortable  Quick outs/slants jerk route from rbs  Seems they need longer developing patterns to create any room

  3. To be fair you have a rookie qb playing a much better team.  He's being asked to move the team pretty much on his own  Running game is non existent  Easy chunk plays nowhere to be found He missed some throws forced some balls leading to two preventable picks and a sack or two was probably on him for holding onto the ball.  On the plus side he looked calm and composed in the pocket.  He didnt check one read and immediately check down regardless of down and distance.  He fit or tried to fit some balls into tight window.  He also broke away from sure sacks for just about any qb on several plays.  The two really bad throws to me we both rolling out  One to DiMarco that he makes a great effort to haul in and the one rolling to his left to Peters.  Lets take a deep breath and watch and see  I'm sure were going to see some bumps and knocks.  People have been calling for a round 1 qb for the Bills for over a decade  Give it a chance

    This is such a hard thing to do because comparing across generations is pointless. 

     

    Would Brady Succeed in the years WRs could get mugged and QBs could get hit?

    Debatable, lot of the stuff they run now you could not do then because of all the contact with receivers  All that quick timing short stuff would have been very tough to consistently do back then

    Arguably that seems to Beane's stregnth, trading and negotiating draft picks. It would be good to have 5 or 6 picks in the first two rounds.

    Need some top QB's to emerge for 2019 if they want to trade down

    and do a better job with the haul than the Browns  This is what the browns ended up with in the Wentz deal  Ugghh is there even two decent starters in that list?

     

    Corey Coleman
    Shon Coleman
    Cody Kessler (Since traded for a late round pick)
    Derrick Kindred
    Spencer Drango
    Ricardo Louis
    Jordan Payton (Since released)
    Jabrill Peppers
    Deshone Kizer (Since traded, along with picks, for Damarious Randall and picks)
    Denzel Ward
    Chad Thomas

  6. Rules were not there to protect the qb  Its easier now  Brady doesn't have to worry about Dick Night Train lane trying to cripple him on every down  Also WR get free run of the field  Back then you could shove the wr around all over the field and then Ronnie Lott could come over and decapitate the receiver.  Marino's 48 tds in 84' is ridiculous when you compare the eras

  7. There are some good young trench players in FA  They have money to make a few long term FA investments and dont have to do it all in the draft  Just make sure they continue to add several quality grade starters each draft.   Its well worth a top 5 pick to get a elite LT/pass rusher/shut down corner

    I'm glad everyone isn't ready to jump in front of a train.

     

    1 week in, less than 2 quarters for Allen and now half the fanbase hates McD? I just don't get it.

     

    I have tons of hope for Josh, McD, and the team in general- but not today. The success (if achieved) will be in the subsequent years. The biggest surprise is that fans are now just realizing that, as I believe it has been blatantly apparent the whole time (since last year).

     

    We can look terrible every week this year, but as long as Josh shows progress, I'm happy. Remember how bad the first years were for guys like Wentz, Goff, and Peyton, and how good the first years were from guys like Prescott or even RG3 or VY. There is no defined path to success with a QB, it takes all kinds. I believe Josh has IT, and will force himself to succeed.

     

    Stay the course. Trust the process. Don't panic. There will be pain, hopefully followed by a long sustained period of success. That's the whole point of this, whether it works or not.

    That's a good point and the qbs you mentioned (Dak, RG III, Vince Young) all had great play action from a strong running game plus RPO  Each struggled once having to read coverage and make plays from the pocket was asked of them. They looked better early on because the line play was good, they were all athletic and able to make plays out of the pocket.   If a qb can make plays from the pocket under duress early on I think bodes well.  Especially if he has to make throws into tight windows and from we saw that is going to be the case till they get better play makes and the line improves.
