Expand The videos are fine, it's the editorializing ("brutally bad" or whatever it was Ledyard said). Romo sees errors too, but he gets them for what they are, new raw rookie doing OJT (on job training) and showing that he can learn.

Expand There are unbiased data scientists - but not this guy in particular. He formed an opinion about the draft - now he is trying to support his prior opinion. He is biased. But there are plenty of guys with no skin in the game who do analytics. I agree though that analytics takes an amount of faith in your data. Most analtytics guys who get into the data know the data generally has more holes than swiss cheese - so you have to temper your projections. I think our friend here is now trying to defend his position (poorly).
TheFunPolice Posted September 27, 2018 Posted September 27, 2018 Well, to be fair to the guy Josh Allen BARELY cleared the LB on his hurdle. Also, after throwing for nearly 200 yards the first half, which is BARELY more than 199, he basically just handed off all second half. Totally vanished from the stat sheet. Also, when he scrambled for the TD he COULD HAVE fumbled very easily, but didn't. Almost though! That WOULD HAVE cost the Bills. Finally, the Bills SHOULD HAVE won by a lot more, given the way the team played. So he was right after all! 1

Expand No need to research it, I'll take it as fact that there were others I'm not familiar with. But I do know that in addition to our own, the scouting departments for the LA Chargers, Jaguars, and Falcons had 1st round grades on him. It's rare that there would be such drastic differences among the scouting community and I doubt any team had a 3rd round evaluation of him. These draftnik "pundits" just aren't privy to the body of information that scouts begin compiling, in earnest, from August through draft day; instead they rely on video reviews with little context to support what they are seeing.

But I have to admit- I was more discouraged than encouraged. "It's his first start," "he had a few good plays," etc. I know those things- IMO it was still discouraging to see him miss on some blatantly open throws (Murphy & DiMarco, famoulsy) and to force those picks in the second-half (especially the first one- I was imploring him to throw it away as he released it)... Ledyard correctly mentions "there's a long way to go"- and I still think Allen's relentlessly competitive nature gives him a chance, even with his pre-draft concerns rearing their ugly head again in start #1 (mechanical unsoundness, inconsistent accuracy, decision-making, etc.). Still, I was hoping week #1 offered a few more positives (there WERE some), even considering all factors like the Bills' under-talented roster, the opponent, his first NFL start, etc. https://twitter.com/LedyardNFLDraft/status/1041772507903262720 Expand Allen looked ho hum at his best vs Chargers . I saw a player who had accuracy issues.... There wasn't alot to pull positively IMO from the Chargers game.. You just hope he gets better which he did vs the Vikings on the road. Here's hoping he continues to progress vs GB
