I think the Chargers will push them as well. Harbaugh is a great coach. In his 2nd year with the 49ers he went 11-4-1 and went to the Super Bowl. 2nd year at University of San Diego 11-1. Second year at Michigan 10-3. Took him 3 years at Stanford to get going but he didn’t have nearly as much talent there to start as he did in other places and with the Chargers. He has done great every where. Think the Chargers will be the sleeper team that could give teams trouble. Their defense will probably be really good this year. Running game you would think would be even better in the 2nd year of his scheme.

He is more accurate than a lot of people seem to think. He has the most big time throws of over 20 yards in the league. Completion percentage doesn’t really tell the whole story. Think it’s way overblown on this board. I watch every single snap of every single NFL game every week of the year and every quarterback misses plenty of deep throws. Most of you guys don’t watch enough of the other QB’s from week to week. He was ranked as the 3rd best in the league last year according to PFF Highest Deep (20-Plus Yards) PFF Passing Grades in NFL in 2024 QBDeep PFF Passing Grade Russell Wilson97.3 Derek Carr95.6 Josh Allen95.4 Geno Smith95.1 Bryce Young94.6

Bills offered Cook 12.5 million and he didn’t want it. He has the same agent as his brother did and it’s also the same agent that the rookie in Cincy has that is holding out from what I heard. So he is getting bad advice from his agent it seems to me. Sounds like every guy that has him as an agent it takes forever to get their deals done. Bills won’t pay him over 12.5 most likely, so if Cook wants paid from the Bills he will have to come down from his 15 milly wants. I guess maybe if he has another good year he may be able to squeeze 13 from them but I wouldn’t think he could get anymore than that. We shall see. He may end up not having as good of a year and end up hurting himself pay wise. Im not foretelling anything on the day 1 of camp. Apparently you have never heard MOST football coaches say that the defense should always be ahead of the offense at the beginning of camp because usually if the offense is ahead then your defense ends up not being good. Which is what usually ends up happening. Hopefully you learned something today.

Which is why the defense basically ended up sucking last year. Well it’s not the reason but my point is that if the offense looks better than the defense early on in camp, chances are your defense isn’t going to be very good. Offense tends to get better as camp goes on. So I’m happy that the defense is looking good to start.

I think other than Shakir that Moore will be the best receiver on the Bills this year. My opinion of course. We shall see what happens.

Most big time throws are over 20 yards or on deep balls and also tight windows. It’s easy to throw the ball to the most wide open receivers in the league also like Lamar had. Not saying Lamar doesn’t have nice touch but some people in here don’t know enough about advanced stats and think completion percentage on throws is what makes someone have the best deep ball accuracy and that is the farthest thing from the truth.

There is no bias in the stats. They are what they are. Allen leads in 31 stats and 7 for Lamar. Allen leads in 11 per game stats Lamar leads in 4 per game stats. (I counted completion percentage in per game stats and Lamar got that one as one of his 4 even though it’s close) Josh Allen has the most big time throws in the league over the last few years including last year. So saying Lamar is better than Allen at deep throws it isn’t correct. (How Big-Time Throws Differ from Other Passes: While many passes are considered routine, big-time throws stand out due to their combination of difficulty and potential impact. They are not simply based on completion percentage but also take into account the context of the throw and the potential consequences of success or failure. For example, a 50-yard completion into a tight window is more likely to be considered a big-time throw than a 5-yard completion with a wide-open receiver.) In the 2024-25 NFL season, Josh Allen of the Buffalo Bills led the league in Big Time Throws, according to Pro Football Focus (PFF). He had 43 big-time throws, six more than the second-place player, according to PFF So if you are mean what people are saying in here is Bias, maybe , but no bias in the stats, they are what they are.

I would love for him to have over that amount this year and to let him throw the ball more this year. My opinion. I guess he would have had more stats last year if he didn’t miss out on playing 2 full games because of not playing in 4th qtr’s and missing the last game. Still would like to see more touchdown passes and yards this year compared to last and him be able to keep the turnovers down. One thing about last year is Buffalo only had 8 turnovers all year and all 8 were from Josh. Not one other player turned the ball over between running backs, receivers, special teams. Probably not going to be as lucky this year in the turnover department. That’s a crazy stat. Be wonderful if Buffalo could do that again.

The main reason Lamar passing numbers looked better last year were because he had Henry in the backfield and that gave him the most wide open receivers in the league. That has already been shown with advanced stats. If you take Henry away Lamar will go back to the passer he was before Henry and his numbers won’t look near as good. I would say if you gave Burrow, Mahomes or Allen , Henry in the backfield all 3 of them would throw for more yards and TD’s then Lamar did.

Career wise Mahomes has better numbers than both Allen and Jackson and everyone else ever. If you do regular season by itself and then regular season plus playoffs, Mahomes is the best. Just playoffs then Josh has him beat in total yards per game and touchdowns per game. Mahomes has the 4 Superbowls though. Regular season though career wise Mahomes out does everyone in most categories.

This guy does a good job in my opinion at least of showing how Josh Allen has played against Mahomes in the playoffs after Nick Wright tries to say Mahomes has outplayed him in every playoff game. Has some great stats and info in it.

On a per game basis Allen has been just as good as Mahomes stat wise in the playoffs. I can show those side by side. Both are other worldly elite in playoff stats. obviously the biggest difference in those would be Mahomes 4-0 record against Allen. Just stats though Allen is ahead of him in a few categories on a per game basis. I used Microsoft Co-Pilot and then had it quadruple check itself getting the stats to make sure they were correct. Then also checked it myself to make sure. It extracted them from espn, stat muse and pro football reference. I knew a lot of the stats were correct also because I have done comparisons so many times.

Yes, I already know all of that and agree for the most part, but I like putting things side by side to show the differences. Burrow actually looks better on a per game basis career wise than Lamar does. Other than the rushing stats but total yards per game and other areas.

Images of Career stats total and per game averages for regular season, playoffs and combined regular season plus playoffs. I tried to use per game averages also, so that way no Baltimore fan or anyone else can use the excuse Allen has played more games cause Lamar got hurt. Next images are what records each has broken or has so far in the league. Without being Bias, which I know would be hard, who looks like the better career QB using stats?

You can’t be on the pup list unless it is due to football related injuries from what I understand and they can’t practice at the start of training camp, so he will not be practicing next week when camp starts.
