billspro Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Very unbiased view. I’m looking forward to seeing how Allen plays this week. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I was really starting to get into the article, and then this: "One could recall that with the third overall pick the New York Jets selected quarterback Sam Darnold, and you could imagine what the Giants offense would look like this season with Darnold entering perhaps his second year as the starter. The fact that Darnold plays for a team in the same media market perhaps adds fuel to this fire. But there is another quarterback who was available with that second-overall selection that is also playing in the same state..." (emphasis supplied). I just can't...I just can't stomach this type of flagrant reporting foul! 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmishRifle Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 My favorite line of the article, “A few plays later I wrote this: “Holy [BLANK] Daboll is doing it.”” Well written piece. Thanks to OP for posting. Take the time to read it folks! 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket94 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) Excellent neutral and unbiased perspective from an opponents writer. I like the Mind vs Arm analogy of Allen. That is something that we can all agree on. The guy is obviously paying attention...at least he is doing his homework.

Charles Romes Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) If Allen’s picks go up this year we should all show a little patience and remind ourselves that the youngster is learning to throw with anticipation for the first time in his football life. Very good article though the writer almost lost me by using the word “perhaps” two sentences in a row.

Very good article though the writer almost lost me by using the word “perhaps” two sentences in a row. Well said. We want the QB to push his reaction time and make quick decisions, and not let fear of mistakes paralyze him from taking his shots. With that, some of his quick decisions are going to be wrong and result in picks. So everybody, Deep Breath and patience. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRHater69 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 I just remember what Tony Romo said in the Vikings game last year how he went into every contest expecting to throw a pick or two. In his mind it meant you weren't taking chances and playing it too safe if you didn't. I'd be OK with zero picks per game, but it is football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket94 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Allen's arm has helped him get him this far, so he won't completely abandon relying on it...its also in his dna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLTbills Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Great read, with supporting all-22 material to show what he's talking about. he is absolutely right on the strip-sack play. Guy open to the left side and he just didn't read it in time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msw2112 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 This was one of the best football articles I have read. Fair and balanced reporting, with analysis (and some opinion) based on facts. Used real examples to back up the statements. This guy knows what he's talking about. We don't often get treated to this level of quality analysis. Thanks to the OP for sharing this. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
