unclepete Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Completion % and accuracy aren't always 100% correlated. He looks as inaccurate as last year, but is in an offense with concepts that work better for his skill set. Still seeing too many passes that are behind or in the best position for the receiver to turn upfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Beard Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 He had at least two catchable balls go through receivers’ hands. That happens to every QB but it should be acknowledged. He stares down his receivers too much. I’m not sure he sees the whole field yet. He’s getting better, but he’s not there yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Frankish Reich Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I'm more interested in the improvement. Allen last year: QB rating of 67.9 This year (includes today's game): 81.1 so far. No, QB rating isn't perfect. Far from it. But you won't find any QBs we consider to be "elite" these days with ratings under 100. There's still plenty of room for improvement, but the trend is very promising. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t want Allen going into the draft but he’s exceeded my expectations so far and I have no problems admitting he’s been better than I thought he would be. 37 minutes ago, transplantbillsfan said: Been there for a week and you didn't say a thing about smugness.

Why would I make it a whole new thread when I can just update this one? To be clear, I do think completion percentage is meaningful. You're an idiot if you don't think it is. It means your WRs and TEs and RBs are catching passes from the QB, which is thus helping to advance the ball... and that's why I also posted YPA. The 2 should be taken largely together. HOWEVER, the narrative, very simply, has been this: Completion percentage = QB Accuracy, therefore, Josh Allen is an inaccurate QB. And then some random wildly missed throws are cherry picked to further "prove" that point. I never agreed with that narrative because I watched all his passes multiple times last year. And (sorry @Bangarang) I did say in the offseason after looking at his passes that I thought his accuracy was fine when compared with his peers and that I thought he'd be above 60% this year.

Doc Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 He's far more inaccurate on deep throws this year, which is odd. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He overthrew Zay (I think) and he was wide open near the goal line. There were other long passes that were off target as well, but that one really stung. His short passes, timing passes, and touch passes are far better this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His short passes, timing passes, and touch passes are far better this year. The miss to Zay hurt, but it was a bit of an awkward delivery towards the end of a broken play. As play on the the deep shot to Foster began, I could just tell there was a deep shot designed to him based on who was on the field with him... I think the Bengals saw those 3 missed deep shots to Foster last week and took note. Hence, 2 guys down in the EZ with him with good coverage.

EasternOHBillsFan Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) He needs to stop rolling to the right and throwing that sideline gamble pass as his go to in pressure situations a lot, because defenses will continue to key in on that... especially Belichick.
