  1. I never follow college ball, but the thing that intrigued me about Allen as the draft process was unfolding was reports of how much improved from the end of the college season to the Senior Bowl after getting some QB coaching in prep for that game. So it made sense that Beane would go after a guy who was raw but showed a pretty good response to competent coaching. Throw in there what they found about his personality, leadership, competitive fire, and willingness to do the work, and I think you start to see what they saw in him that made him the guy in their eyes. Of course we don't know those things until well after the draft, so the reactions make sense to a certain extent.

    Sorry but your study refers to running QB’s not QB’s that are being used as though they are a running back. Show me a study on the shelf life of a running back. 

     

    As I said, I am ok with scrambling and extending plays. I am not ok  with pounding a once in a generational talent QB into the line or exposing him to hits as though he is a running back.

    I think he takes more of a beating in the pocket to be honest.

    I am still worried that the Bills are far too dependent on JA as a runner.  As a part of this, too much RPO. You can’t keep putting your Franchise QB out where one hit can take him out for a season. Sorry, but the time has come to say “no.”

     

    I am ok with the “extend the play” and scrambling. Let’s just not use the guy like he is a RB.

     

    Sorry but that's just not the case. Running qb's are not more prone to injury, based on a rather large sample size of all orthopedic injuries in the NFL from 1980-2018.
