    It’s confirmed: Zay Jones is the biggest bust in living memory

    WR is tough to evaluate given productivity depends on targets... and of course targets depend on play design and does the guy get open or not... since we can't really see the route on TV, I have no idea is Zay gets open. But, he has only been targeted 17 times this season. That's really low. And, obviously our QBs have both had accuracy issues.

     

    It'd be far easier to judge Zay if we had a decent offensive coordinator (I'm not a Daboll fan) and a solid NFL QB. Until that happens I'm going with "need more data" on Zay.

    Daboll play calling

    Dabolls play calling has been abysmal to say the least . Other than the Vikings game he's not helping Allen with his playcalling..why so many passes called given our personnel ..giving McCoy only 5 touches is unnaceptable. The Packers were sending a variety of blitzes all game and Allen isnt there yet when it comes to blitz recognition and knowing his hots so he has to call plays to reduce the pressure well timed screens for example 

     

    I never liked the Daboll hiring (4 prior seasons of NFL experience with 3 different teams) and still don't. Even if they're stacking up against the run and daring us to throw, we still have to try to run on first and/or second down when our QB is very clearly having a rough day (Allen's early passes all sailed high - he just wasn't "on" early in the game).

     

    The other thing that infuriates me is the number of read options and QB draws that Daboll calls. This isn't the University of Alabama. In the NFL that sort of stuff gets your QB killed.

     

    One other play call bothered the crap out of me... we had a 4th and 1 in the first half and Daboll ran a play that called for uber-slow Vlad Ducasse to pull around to the right side. Ducasse can barely move and that play ended up a completely disaster.

    Of course this was the first bills game in years that I couldn’t watch. (Traveling). Can anyone provide a fair/balanced review of how Allen played today?  Was he really good enough to make so many people think he’s a franchise QB?  Or is a lot of that bills fans understandably being biased? Specifically how was his accuracy and how did he do making it through his progressions?  Would we still have scored close to 27 without th defensive turnovers? Thanks!!  

     

    If you go to Bills.com you can find a video of every throw Allen made in the game (both complete and incomplete). BTW - about half of his incompletions were drops.

     

    It's not hard to see Allen's obvious talent. He has that "it" factor (as does Baker Mayfield) that I haven't seen in Buffalo since the '90s. He'll have his ups and downs like all young QBs, but if he stays healthy, it's hard not to get excited about the fact that we many finally have found our first "franchise quarterback" since Jim Kelly.
