Could still use another piece on offense whether that’s OL, TE, RB but if Allen is going to be a franchise QBs, this team makes playoffs. Good QBs can carry a team to playoffs almost every year If they dont make it and the team isn’t decimated by injuries, I will hit the panic button on qb I agree. However, I think even if he is ok I think they could make the playoffs. if the kid gives you more than 20 td passes, and 25 or more tds, total, as well as not be a turnover machine like Sam Darnold has been the last three years (I like Darnold, but dig intended there) then it should be a good season.

Figster Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Its not about making the playoffs as much as its about learning to beat the Patriots in my humble opinion. If we can't beat the Patriots its all for not... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I would argue you need to stop merely citing the recent qb trends as reason why we need to view the qb as playoffs or bust. How about we quit referencing the exception to the rule. I would argue history says qb’s, as a general rule, are gonna take more than just a year to be playoff ready. You seem to be approaching all this from a really shortsighted viewpoint. I'm approaching it from an entirely honest viewpoint, which is why I cited as much in the previous post. I don't really trust Josh Allen to develop into a top flight QB, so that's naturally going to skew my opinion. There are plenty of reasons for skepticism, but I'll set that aside as they've been regurgitated ad nauseam. I will say based on recent history, NOT making the playoffs would be the exception rather than the rule. If there was 2 examples, I'd be more inclined to take the wait and see approach. There are FIVE!!! Five is not some anomaly. If it's not playoffs or bust, it should be big time progress/at least compete for a playoff spot or bust.

DJB Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I do expect some improvements but even if we miss doesn't mean he isn't a good QB. Aaron Rodgers missed last year. Is he a crap QB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of moving parts here, and NFL QB is not an easy job. QBorBust2018 can picnic if you like. I hope I never panic over a sports team. ...good call Augie......plenty of NEW moving parts as well as 10 picks in the draft......need to lighten Josh's load and change his "I can do it all" mode....rather see him on the field for 10 years as our "franchise QB" versus on a gurney.....his size, speed, agility, moxy, leadership and "no guts no glory...no bawls no blue chips" characteristics are laudatory, but let's keep him around for awhile.....PLEASE........... 22 minutes ago, DJB said: I do expect some improvements but even if we miss doesn't mean he isn't a good QB.

Aaron Rodgers missed last year. Is he a crap QB? Does A Rodgers normally take his team to the playoffs? Yes To be clear though theres a huge difference between a second year QB still developing who wasn't even projected to play last season vs a veteran franchise QB.

rayray808 Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 until the draft is done I refuse to set the playoffs as a realistic goal.. A LOT can happen during the draft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
