I have lost all respect for them this year They should say he’s averaging just over 200 yards/game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBills Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I don’t really know many Bills fans who would rather have Baker or Sam... I know, read, hear a lot of Browns and Jets fans who would rather have Allen. That’s really all that matters. Not some analytic site that determined Duck Hodges was the best QB in the Steelers/Bills game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how we scored 30 something points that game and the defense gave up more so we fired the OC. “We” didn’t fire Roman. Rex Ryan did because the two of them couldn’t get along. Roman’s offense was the only thing keeping the team’s head above water. Maybe Rex was jealous/threatened. 29 minutes ago, DuckyBoys said: I'm not listening to the singer from Warrant discussing football She’d be pretty if she waxed her upper lip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do this from a place of arrogance and idiocy that fully encapsulates the millennial mind in sports analysis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JOSH ALLEN Unlike some others on this list, Allen has seen his arrow point decidedly upward from year one to year two, and he's deservedly moved up our rankings over the past two seasons. His underneath and intermediate accuracy has seen a considerable bump year on year. Only 7.9% of his passes that were targeted 1-19 yards downfield were charted as perfectly placed last season, but this year, that number is 20.4% — higher than anyone else in the 2018 quarterback class. His accuracy, combined with his playmaking ability with his legs, has been a massive value-add to the Bills' offense — especially in the red zone. The worrisome thing is that Allen has still never been able to truly open up the offense as a passer. In 26 career starts, he’s never had a single 300-yard passing game. A big reason why is the lack of big plays, as his deep-ball accuracy has been all over the place this season. Despite his improved play, Allen has fewer big-time throws this year (13) than he did even a year ago (17), and the former ranks 26th among all quarterbacks in the NFL this year. He’s only completed 26.9% of his targets 20-plus yards downfield — the fourth-worst in the NFL — and that’s the opposite of what you’d expect for a player with that kind of arm strength.

CorkScrewHill Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 (edited) 1 hour ago, Kirby Jackson said: I think this is fair. The problem is that you are drafting guys on what they will/can be not what they are today. That’s why Josh went in the top 10. 2 years in there is no reason to believe that the future of Baker or Darnold is brighter than that of Josh. Talent evaluators would absolutely roll the dice on the upside of Josh at this point before more established players. I think the best way to look at this is would a QB needy team willingly give up a top 5 pick in the draft for these QBs. Lamar - yes, Josh Allen - yes, Darnold probably, Baker - someone might but his lack of maturity two years in would give pause ... Rosen and Rudolph ... maybe a 4th or a 5th rounder. I look at what coaches and players say and don’t say about a player...Josh’s teammates talk about him being a future superstar ...

I was referring to giving up a top 5 pick in the draft .. I agree you could get a first for Baker ..but not necessarily one of the top 5 picks.

JoPoy88 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Disagree with their placement - Allen would the 2nd 2018 QB in my mind, not 4th (or 3rd if you still have faith in Mayfield I suppose.) But I do think their evaluation in the OP’s post is fair enough. Credit is given (as it should be) to Allen’s underneath and intermediate accuracy. The problem remains his accuracy on long passes.

There were plenty here who ripped him. I recall it well. We could have Alexander the Great as our OC and a decent segment of Bills fans would still blame everything on him. Maybe I am projecting my own thoughts because I thought Roman was doing a good job. Sure the opening game vs Baltimore was disgusting but I think a lot of that was Tyrod’s fault. I was at the Bills vs NYJ Thursday night home opener. People were pissed the Bills lost but hardly anyone faulted Roman. Many people were mad that Rex’s defense was owned and that our “lockdown” corners of Stephon Gilmore and Ron Darby could defend against Brandon Marshall, Eric Decker and Wuincy Enunwa.

DCOrange Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I think I'd probably put Allen #2, but 2-4 is pretty debatable IMO. Lamar is clearly #1 and Rosen/Rudolph are clearly #5 and #6. It's kinda bizarre how much worse Baker has looked this season; seems like he desperately needs the offseason to begin so he can take some time away and just mentally regroup. He's still a very talented passer but he picked up some bad habits this season and it's really hurt his play. Still, Cleveland's offense has outproduced our own, though it's probably mostly due to the play of Chubb. I think Darnold has played very well this season on the whole. The Patriots game was an absolute disaster, but beyond that, he's been good and has flashed pretty routinely. Altogether, I remain pretty high on the top 4 with Lamar being a distant #1. I was never very high on Rosen/Rudolph and obviously they haven't done anything to this point to prove me wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokebball Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 3 hours ago, whatdrought said: No. They're not. Allen would be the second QB off the board after Jackson. Easily. He has fixed a ton of the issues that people worried about, and he's shown the sky high upside that had him damn close to going #1 to begin with. Yeah, this is where I went, and immediately. One could argue a case for Baker, but Allen would have definitely been drafted ahead of Sam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILBillsfan Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Jackson should be the only QB rated above Josh form the 2018 draft class. Mayfield Darnold are just a step lower than Allen. Both are more turnover prone than Allen imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsbackto81 Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 Even after seeing what Jackson has become so far in Baltimore it's still way to early to decide which will have the better career. It's not matter of their talent so much as to what's around them. Jackson and Allen have had the benefit of superior coaching and a competent front office. Darnold and Mayfield are subjected to horrible coaching, management and diva entitled players at every turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dakrider Posted December 24, 2019 Share Posted December 24, 2019 I think if given a chance to repeat, Cleveland, NY and Buffalo would still all take Mayfield, Darnold and Allen, respectively. I don't think none of these teams regret their QB choice. Arizona obviously would not taken Rosen though, I don't know if they would rather have Jackson now or not? The other big difference would be Jackson would not have fallen to Baltimore as someone would have taken him. Indy would likely have grabbed him at #6 knowing what they know now.
