The same questions were asked about Young, EJ and Boller at this exact points of their careers. Allen is a lot closer to them than he is to Eli or Stafford.

Why not? Young's and EJ's stats aren't too different from Allen's at this point of their careers.

And does this defense of Allen's play sound closer to that of EJ Manuel, JP Losman, Trent Edwards, Todd Collins, Vince Young, Kyle Boller or of Eli Manning, Ben Roethlisberger, Mahomes, Watson, Wilson, Dak, etc?

An argument can be made that the noticeable improvement has been in the mechanics, but the larger hurdle is the processing part and why these discussions are still ongoing.

The actual criticism was that Allen needed to continue working on his mechanics and read the defenses better. What you're describing are the results, not the inputs.

Easy ones - If you were concerned about lack of funding leading to Ukrainian deaths, what did you do between 2014 and 2016 when no aid at all was provided? If you are not aware of any US official threatening to withhold any aid for political or personal reasons, how would you explain VP Biden bragging about holding up aid until the Ukrainian prosecutor was fired?

There's a legal process that allows for the reduction of debt for those unable to make payments.

If Ford doesn't pan out as RT, you definitely have to question the wisdom of trading up for him and passing up a true blue chip RG in Risner.

No it wasn't. Deutsche Bank was Trump's main bank leading up to his campaign.

Says the guy who claims that Trump is bankrolled by the Russians

With this idiotic statement, "DT whose Real Estate efforts funded by Russian money since the western funding sources dried up" You can't even follow your convoluted logic. The only Russian involvement that was remotely connected to Trump were some sales of Trump condos to Russian nationals. So for your claim to be true, it means that Russians were funneling cash to Deutsche Bank's private bank unit to bankroll Trumps, since that was the only bank that was providing him with credit.

The Ukrainians are, but it has nothing to do with the matter at hand.

There was no connection between Russia funding and Deutsche Bank's private bank's dealings with Trump. That's an asinine claim.

Nearly everything in this is false.

Did Schiff just say that he does not know the identity of the whistleblower?

I think there's a huge difference between being told not to make a mistake and not trusting his eyes. The play calls and patterns don't put him in a position to make throws into tight windows. The receivers are usually wide open in a brief window (by design). He's late in making that read and throw. He's still waiting for the receiver to get "college" open. He usually makes that throw later than he should, which counters the theory that they're coaching him to avoid mistakes at all costs. If they can shave 0.5 seconds off his decision making, he'll be well on his way.

Anti-socialist

Isn't that a contradiction? If you let Josh be Josh, he reverts back to bad habits. I have no idea why people think that Mcd & Daboll are telling him to stop making aggressive throws. What is probably happening is that Daboll & Dorsey are trying to drill the fundamentals (which he never had) and having him make the correct pre and post snap reads. That's not natural to him and could explain his confusion and hesitation. Hopefully he's learning, but his processing is too slow still. If you unleash the reigns at this point, you'd better be looking at a QB in 2020, because he'll never get better than Vince Young.

The replay of Chubb's 21 yd run on their last drive isn't kind to Murphy or Edmunds.

Definitely a good one. Often ignored is the influence from Ivana and her parents in Czechoslovakia. The kids spent summers there behind the Iron curtain. Which makes the Russian collusion story even funnier. Why would Trump need to send Cohen to Prague when he could simply call his former father in law?

If you are going to impose a relief plan, then the plan has to involve the institutions who are largely responsible for the high costs of education. Why has the cost of higher education gone up in multiples of the rate of inflation, while most other goods and services have not? What do you think will happen if Federal aid is cut from universities’ budgets?

Investment banks and banks weren't one and the same, but I'm sure you conflate them in these discussions accidentally. Please tell me why trust and clearing banks like Bank of NY, Northern Trust & State Street had to accept TARP even though they had zero subprime exposure? I see the rationale why the Fed wanted every bank to take the funds so as not to highlight the banks that were in truly bad shape, but that's not what you're arguing, is it? Also another lesson why the business community abandoned Obama. He ran to the banks asking for everyone to pitch into a common solution, even though it was detrimental to the individual organizations they ran. When things calmed down, he turned around and sued the executives who pitched in to help. Then he was miffed why the business community hated him.

Is that because Daboll doesn't call plays where a receiver is usually open and the QB is too slow to recognize coverage or throw the ball? Because that's what's happening in this offense. You could make an argument that Daboll should dumb down the offense, but what do you think the effect of that would be with a QB who's having a hard time elevating his game?

Not really. Too small in the grand scheme of things. If you are looking at the bigger government malfeasance, then turning a blind eye to the accounting frauds at Fan Fred was much bigger.

This was a total bi-partisan interconnected financial mess. The tie to CRA is anecdotal and too small to cause a global financial crisis.
