HT02 Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I don't think they are intentionally trying to "troll" Bills fans they just don't believe in Josh Allen as a QB1. Its an informed opinion and I hope Allen's play this year makes them not only regret sharing it but makes them reassess how they evaluate QBs in the future. I not only don't mind informed contrarian opinions like this I want to read them to understand their thought process. If it turns out to accurate it will certainly impact how I view the Bills selection of Allen's successor. I understand getting angry at writers who express strictly emotion based opinions and hate a player, team or team management no matter what they do but objective informed opinion is always welcomed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't horrible against Baltimore lmao. That's a top defense playing lights out at the time...Allen was average. The offensive line was getting abused and he took some shots. Be honest...you didn't watch the game, you looked @his stat line and a couple highlights. Here’s the link to the Ravens game. Feel free to watch it again. He was terrible. It’s okay to acknowledge that he repeatedly missed receivers by several yards and took huge sacks. https://gamepass.nfl.com/game/ravens-at-bills-on-12082019?condensed=true The Bills were down 16-0 late in the 3rd quarteragainst the Jets. Allen had thrown 2 INTs and lost 2 fumbles, but he led 3 straight scoring drives to win the game. 12 minutes ago, Kirby Jackson said: Not on an actual betting site.

He has a VERY clear path the the MVP this year. If the Bills win 11 or 12 games and take down the mighty Pats they will be all of the buzz. If Allen takes another step forward he would be right in the mix. It’s absolutely worth money at 40:1. He could have 40 - 45 total TDs and 4,500 total yards. That’s basically the year that Cam had when he won MVP. I’m not saying that’s likely but it’s definitely possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of today, I don’t think an objective observer can say with any degree of certainty that JA is or isn’t the long term answer. This time next year, I don’t think that will be the case. I’m also of the opinion that if you can’t tell who a QB is after year 3, then it’s time to find his replacement because that’s how you wind up in purgatory with a guy like Andy Dalton or Marcus Mariota. If he puts it together, the Bills are a very real threat to win the AFC. I think they’re the third best team in the conference behind Kansas City and Baltimore. I don’t believe in Pittsburgh at all, and New England is going to be a tough out, but they aren’t a legit Super Bowl contender IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have the hindsight of knowing how Trubisky's 3rd year panned out, so he has two poor/mediocre years, with an improvement year sandwiched in the middle. Those critical of the Allen pick based on what they saw in college have not been proven wrong IMO. He displays the same traits as his Scouting Reports said he would, and so 2020 is really a gut check on whether he can overcome that. If he goes out in 2020 and the same year as he did in 2019, the Bills would be smart to get more competition. Which is the same as Trubisky faces now. So the direct comparison has less significance than what arc you project Allen's 3rd year to be. It’s not hindsight when the question is who would you take TODAY. Not who would you take last year. Knowing what we know TODAY, no one is taking Trubisky over Allen going forward. No one. Again, you are trying to argue things PFF did not argue. And you're wrong on your other points. If Allen has the exact same year in 2020 that he did in 2019, he’d be far better than Trubisky because Mitch didn’t have the same year 3, he regressed hard.

Of course most fans around the league would take Allen. All I'm saying is its not some landslide, laughable, lopsided debate. Allen has been a bottom tier NFL passer since coming into the league. Now, stating again for the record, he had horrendous weapons in 2018 and was a rookie, so no hard judgement there. But let's be honest here, Allen did not show a Carson Wentz-esque improvement from Year 1 to Year 2 or anything. He got better relative to his rookie self and played to the positive side of his Scouting Reports. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His fall off the cliff year is not that far from 2nd year Allen... Allen accounted for 0.625 more TDs per game that Trubisky in 2019. So he accounted for >8 more TD's on the year. I guess maybe that's why they were the 29th offense in the NFL last year. You don't have to ignore anything. Mitch had a good second year and then regressed hard, got benched for Chase Daniels and QB'd one of the worst offenses in the NFL last season. The debate is not "Trubisky's second year vs Allen's second year." The debate is who you take today. Some folks on here call me an Allen hater because I don't think the media should call him the MVP or the franchise guy yet. But if you're so blinded by your Allen take that you can't see "Trubisky v Allen today" is a insanely one sided argument, you're unsalvageable.

And they STILL took Allen. It's a troll debate. No one is picking Mitch. No one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahomes has 76 passing TDs and 18 Ints in 31 games at a 303 ypg clip. We can get into how much sitting one year helped, Andy Reid, or his weapons, but he is in another galaxy from Allen as a passer. 5 minutes ago, Kirby Jackson said: Just for context Patrick Mahomes account for .1875 more TDs per game than Allen.
