PFF's Big Board (I know I know, but hear me out)
Billl replied to DCOrange's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Jeudy reminds me a lot of Antonio Brown. He just gets open. Lamb is a tougher comp. Percy Harvin is probably the closest for me. Maybe a Tyreek Hill but without as much speed. I’ll be really interested to see his 40 time. -
https://www.nflfullhd.com/23536-2/ 4:52 in the first quarter he throws the ball for an easy pick 6 that was dropped 14:15 in the fourth, he carries the ball loosely and it falls out of his hand after barely being touched 2:00 in the fourth he takes a 14 yard sack to get knocked out of FG range 1:45 he takes a 22 yard sack by running backwards for no reason 1:08 he laterals the ball wildly for no reason (maybe the dumbest play I’ve ever seen in a critical moment) 0:39 he hits the DB in the chest again and it’s dropped :12 he throws the ball away, but it’s nearly intercepted 12:40 in OT he throws a jump ball to his fullback who is double covered

PFF's Big Board (I know I know, but hear me out)
Billl replied to DCOrange's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If he doesn’t have the speed to separate, I just don’t see how he gets open on Sundays. He’s a below average route runner, so it’s not like he can rely on technique to get free. He’s a special athlete who can big brother lesser players in college, but NFL corners are all great athletes. It’s great when a receiver can go up and high point a contested throw, but I’d prefer someone who can just get open. Relying on making contested catches is a losing strategy. Randy Moss and Calvin Johnson could do that, but they could also run right by DBs. -
Are you really trying to make the case that Singletary with 7 yards of space is a worse option than throwing a 50 yard flutterball to a Fullback who is double covered? I’m pretty sure Allen yelled “500” before throwing that ball. I watched the replay of this game again yesterday. Allen made several excellent plays, but he made an egregious amount of awful decisions. Watching Allen play QB is like watching a golfer crush a 300 yard drive and sink a 30 foot putt on a hole but also put his approach into the water twice. The Texans dropped two gimme interceptions, had good opportunities for two more. Between those, the fumble that the Texans recovered, and the insane lateral that got swatted out of bounds, it’s kind of amazing the game was as close as it was.

LeSean McCoy wants to retire an Eagle
Billl replied to sunshynman's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
5 TDs and 650 yards of offense isn’t nothing. What’s with the hate for Shady around here? He was the best player on the Bills in the decade, and he was clearly better than Gore this year. 4.6 ypc vs 3.6 for Gore. 5 TDs to 2. Why wouldn’t he be upset that the team cut him for a washed up Frank Gore? Shady didn’t have a ton left in the tank, but Gore has no business being on an NFL roster. -
Have you not heard the recording where the chick basically admits that she lied about both incidents? The Chiefs cut Kareem Hunt for 1% of what Hill was accused of. Hill is a dumbass for staying with her, but he’s not a monster.

Chargers moving on from Philip Rivers after 16 years
Billl replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Brady will go to the Chargers. Rivers will go to Tennessee or Tampa. Tennessee would be the smarter play, as I don’t see a closer comp in the league to Rivers than Winston. Bridgewater or Dalton would be solid fits in Tampa. -
Singletary is talented, but I don’t think the intent is to ever use him as a workhorse. He’s perfect for his role. Doesn’t have the size to take 20 carries a game while blocking in the passing game consistently. Someone like Carlos Hyde would be a good pickup to replace Gore. Kareem Hunt would have been perfect if he had his head on straight. Of course if he did, he’d be playing in the Super Bowl.

Reid did him a solid. If that trade doesn’t go down, McD drafts Lattimore. It’s a perfectly good pick, and McD still has to listen to the MMQBs complain that Mahomes went one pick later. Instead, he got an arguably better player at the same position, added a third round pick that year and a first round pick the following year. The Bills pulled of one of the three best drafts that year. Possibly the second best depending on how the rest of Watson’s career goes.

What long snappers are we letting in?

Wonderlic scores mean dick. Lamar Jackson scored a 13. That doesn’t make him stupid. Ray Lewis also got a 13, Eddie George got a 14, and Randy Moss scored a 12. All three of them have had successful careers in broadcasting post retirement and are clearly bright, charismatic people. Donovan McNabb scored a 14, and he ran Andy Reid’s offense successfully for a decade. His 13 on the Wonderlic matters about as much as his 2 on the Precision Passing contest...0.

I was looking for his pre draft scouting reports due to all the “he’s so raw” comments around here. I thought the analysis was interesting because every word of it is true today. He’s literally been the starter for two years and has a career completion percentage of 56%. Two year starter: True 56% completion: True Scattershot passer: True Great velocity but needs a better change up: True Tends to miss (sometimes badly) on check downs and screens: True Struggles with pressure, lacks proper timing, won’t take the easy yards: True, true, true

Mel Kiper has the bills taking Shenault Jr
Billl replied to 78thealltimegreat's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Are you talking about the same guy? He has a very limited route tree, doesn’t run them particularly well, and he has poor technique coming off the line. He’s a physical freak, but well rounded he ain’t. -
Here’s an evaluation of him I came across this morning. I think it’s pretty accurate. I’m curious if even his biggest apologists would disagree. Drops and lack of playmaking talent don’t account fully for his 56-percent completions in two seasons of starting. Way too scattershot a passer right now. Touch throws are very inconsistent. Velocity is great, but he needs to develop a better changeup to drop passes into the bucket. Will miss — sometimes badly — on higher-percentage checkdowns and screens. Forgets to reset his feet when he has time to do so. Has a long way to go vs. pressure — gets skittish at times and doesn’t operate all that well with a dirty pocket. Overreacts to the first sign of pressure and bails out. Lacks proper sense of timing and needs to speed up his drops. Won’t always take the easy yards defenses will give him. Doesn’t consistently climb the pocket when the edges are collapsing. Comes off his first read too fast when plays don’t develop instantaneously.

What is with the “Josh was the most raw QB in decades” narrative? Unless “raw” just means that he was ineffective in college, it’s BS. You know who was raw? Lamar Jackson was raw. He just completed an MVP season, and people are still calling him a RB. Ryan Tannehill was raw. He was a WR until his Junior year of college. Pat Mahomes was raw coming out of the Air Raid at Texas Tech. Allen was simply a QB who didn’t put up numbers despite playing in the same system as Carson Wentz.
-
Mahomes’s first ever game was on the road against the Broncos. He went 22/35 for 284 yards in 3 quarters. That’s more than any game in Allen’s career. Here are all the players who caught passes. Albert Wilson Demetrius Harris Demarcus Robinson Anthony Sherman Jehu Chesson Akeem Hunt (not to be confused with Kareem Hunt) He wouldn’t have thrown 50 TDs, but he would have still had an MVP caliber season with the Bills receivers.

So if we just goose his numbers slightly, you can pretend that he meets the bare minimum level of competence. “Hey dad. Yeah I failed my test, but good news. If you take just 4 questions that I got wrong and pretend I got them right, I would have earned the lowest possible D minus.” He was dead last in completion percentage in 2018. He was dead last in 2019. The good news is that 33 QBs qualified in 2018 while only 32 qualified in 2019, so he moved up from 33rd to 32nd.
