Rad Likes The Bills Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I have a hard time seeing this one. Drew was a classic pocket passer. Allen is a mover with elite arm strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Appreciate the post, but did you just say that Allen is SLIGHTLY more athletic than Bledsoe? You might want to go watch a few more Wyoming games. Bledsoe was a statue back there. I may not be thrilled that Allen was the pick, but I can readily admit that he's miles and miles ahead of Bledsoe athletically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuttles had drew at 4.5 and allen at 4.4... Considering how the game has changed, that’s probably not as big a gap once you normalize for how much faster everyone is. i dont think it’s some perfect comparison and allen is definitely quicker but nowhere near as absurd as some will portray and if allen retires with 4 probowls and a ring he will be a home run for us.

Guys who got overdrafted who really didn’t produce like top 10 picks simply because they look the part. Doug Whaley, who I think is better than a lot people give him credit for, would have picked Allen. I love our defensive players and dont trust this regime at evaluating offense at all. The overwhelming evidence is guys like this don’t make it in the nfl. Hopefully, we are smarter than all evidence suggests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have bad feelings about his time here but dude has a bunch of probowls, led the league in passing and has a ring. If allen has the head and arm of that plus some mobility... not the knock some will think it is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Slightly more athletic"??? That is waaaaay off. Drew was a statue, this kid can move and run. He can throw off balance which is another thing Bledsoe was awful at. If that is what you call "slightly more athletic" than Lebron is "slightly more athletic" than my kitchen table. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big, inaccurate qbs was a Whaley staple. and we drafted Zay last year; traded our one good wr before the season; brought in an OC who was terrible; thought Matthews could be a #1, etc. our offense was really bad last year. So yeah, I’m not blindly trusting them to develop a raw qb who struggled in the Mountain West. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
