I'm not a Darnold hater at all, but I did have to laugh today. The 'experts' have been talking about how much better Darnold is than Allen since before they were drafted. Many of these experts continue with that rhetoric.
But today I was thinking about how bad Darnold's receivers are, then I remembered how appalling Allen's were his first year in the league. The offense in general was just terrible. And yet he showed more balls and will to win than I've ever seen from Darnold. Allen dragged the team kicking and screaming up the field numerous times as a rookie. I was saying that to non Bills fan friends during his rookie year. "Don't just look at the stats, you have to watch him play to see what I mean."
Those same experts never really pointed to Allen's weak supporting cast that year (or the huge amount of drops) but I'll bet any money they come out in force to defend Darnold with that same excuse.
