Midwest1981 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 (edited) This is an interesting and illuminating piece, as it relates to all 5 major QB's. As it concerns Allen, whom from all appearances (possible key word: "appearances") we've zeroed in on, Orlosvky doesn't focus on accuracy as it concerns his major weakness, but rather his ability to read and assess a defense pre-snap. Orlovsky specifically focuses in on how he routinely has failed to be able to recognize where blitzes will come from, which will have to be quickly and majorly rectified at the NFL level because Bill Belichick will call defenses infinitely more exotic and complex than the Mountain West Conference. https://www.theplayerstribune.com/en-us/articles/dan-orlovsky-2018-nfl-draft-class-quarterback-breakdown Edited April 26, 2018 by Midwest1981 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEpsYtown Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Good read and good analysis for a guy who has done it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8-8 Forever? Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 from this, we should not be trading up, unless it is to #2 . Blow the whole draft this year and next to get Rosen I guess. If its not there, then don't trade up and get a developmental guy later. no reaching for Jackson or Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDIGGZ Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Agree on everything but Darnold. He gets away with being sloppy in college. This guy makes it seem like it's a positive thing that he can do that. In some situations it might be. The problem is what about the other throws when it's a clean pocket and he's still throwing like crap? How often do you see Tom Brady have to improvise and scramble around and throw from a weird angle? The answer is pretty much never. You want your QB's motion to be so boring and so repeatable that they are like a robot. Every throw is the same with proper mechanics and footwork (like Rosen). If it's not repeatable then it's not consistent and if it's not consistent then that's when you get into trouble. Watch Brady lead a 2 min drill. It's so monotonous yet unstoppable. 8 yards here, 12 yards there, right down the field. Can't stop it. I believe Rosen can do that. With Darnold he's going to scramble around, throw a weird pass, maybe get hit and fumble. It's like chaos when it needs to be controlled and consistent. Rosen is the next level that Darnold fans would hope that he could eventually get to if they can clean up his mechanics. It's a no brainer for me.

Doc Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 The Bills have not zeroed-in on Allen. And after those tweets came out, he's probably off their board now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeGOATski Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Rosen or Mayfield. Darnold close behind. Jackson if a trade up fails. BPA and Rudolph if Jackson is not there. All else fails: Resign. Sell the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solomon Grundy Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 So, Dan Orlovsky thinks the Bills would be a great fit for Lamar Jackson. Thinks Brian Daboll can put an offensive system around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterpan Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Man. This year, with all the QBs to evaluate, I've really realized how similar my views of these guys are with some of the real experts. Bills should hire me as a scout :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrober38 Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 Good breakdown. I've read about a dozen of these breakdowns, and I have no idea how anyone is discussing Josh Allen as a 1st round pick. When you read his scouting reports, you think you're reading about a 4-5th round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
