There are great players from #1 overall picks to UDFA's in NFL history. But there is a pretty strong correlation between draft position and NFL success. Probably "flashes" are less useful for setting expectations than draft position. Probably.
I guess they left any reference to Keith McKeller out of the article, and had that big picture of Jim Kelly, and the entire focus on Jim Kelly to throw readers off the scent.
Earlier this year he said "you can't replace Edmunds". I am concerned he just can't past that.
Shakir was a fith round pick. People set high expectations for him. Shorter was fifth round pick. People are setting low expectations for him. Seems like both play about like you might expect a fifth round pick to play.
The correct conclusion “no one could get open despite Allen extending plays longer than anyone in the NFL”
Put Travis Kelce and Andy Reid on the team and Allen becomes #1 on the list
so you agree “ a more balanced attack” doesn’t have anything to do with improved res zone performance. (Note- I already understood a better executed run game would improve red zone performance)
I know the Bills had the fewest punts of any team in the NFL. I know they were the number 1 offense outside of the redzone in the NFL last year. They were mediorce in the redzone. I don't see how a "more balanced attack" helps in the redzone, and there really is not room for improvement outside of the red zone. Just kind of how math works.
