I already posted this in one other thread and I promise this will be the last time. The Josh Allen hype.... I have never seen so much hype for a guy who was so below average in college, 82nd out of 125 in passing eff., and 75th out of 125 in total qbr.  56% completions two years in a row playing in a weak non power conference. That completion % was 95th out of 125, let that sink in.  I get the fact that he is big and can throw the ball far, but the hype and comparisons are ridiculous. At least Wentz was accurate and had an efficient college career, Allen has never shown that he can play the game at a high level.                              P.S. His 6.7 yds. per att. was 94th out of 125.

I feel like there was a very good looking poster that predicted that Bryan would have an amazing combine...wish I could remember who...

Haven't you heard that self-promotion is gauche? One of the standards to be allowed to post here is to be unattractive. So the person who made the prediction about Bryan must have been an outsider. :)

....funny how people drool or puke over 40 times....when the hell does a guy get to run 40 yds unimpeded during the real deal?......Jesus, Slo Mo Jerry Rice ran a 4.73 and yes, he eventually "sucked".....

You're correct about how often 40 yards are run over a straight line but that's not what they're looking for, necessarily. Split times are key as well as the endurance indicators over the course of that distance.

Been predicting for months on Twitter at least. Fastest first I’ve seen from an interior DL since Aaron Donald

Most of the time you're right. RB, LB, DB and WR it's important to a degree, not as important as you eluded to, you have to factor in change of direction, lateral movement and acceleration, the 40yd is a nice stat though, but definitely overrated.

I’ve been saying that he was a future Patriot for 2 years. Former LAX player too, it’s on.

 

 

 

No Pats Please!

 

Bills All Day!
