Or if he’d have had a chance to convert either of the 2 additional chances he had after that—you know, if he didn’t have 2 guys in his face in less than 1 second.

 

But yeah, had he floated a perfect ball to Knox in double coverage with a guy in his face it would’ve been an awesome way to announce his arrival as a big name.
 

I maintain that I’d have gone for 2 and the win there too.

I was saying the same thing in the SB as it happened, go for 2 and take it down

I agree every team runs everything. But teams still have base systems. The Bills base offense and the 49ers base offense are predicated on different things. 

 

He is the perfect McDermott player. That is why McDermott in his 1 year as an NFL GM made Tre White his first round pick. 

I feel like this could be something straight from McD: “Hey Tre, we love you. You are a great Buffalo Bill. But we haven’t accomplished anything yet. And you have just one year of all pro play. You have much to prove. I believe in you. Your best is ahead of you.”

It goes both ways.  He is definitely overrated on this board for what he actually has produced.  
 

think about it.  How would feel if a sub 200 Passing yard/ game qb made it if he wasn’t on the Bills?  Hell, half the people trash Lamar Jackson after he won a MVP.

 

If it were limited to just that, you might have a point.  It's not.

Same but it's just one part of the equation.  If all anyone focused on was his 206 passing yards/game, sure you'd say "why is he on that list?"  When you take into account other factors...

What play were you watching?  He had a clean pocket, and Knox was two yards behind the defense.  11:30 mark of the video.  That was a pretty routine throw, and he just airmailed it.  Other than that it was a fantastic drive.  With the game on the line and a chance to slay the dragon, that's a play that has to be made.  NE isn't going to roll over.

so because allen isnt nearly as good as 2 of the top 5 players in the whole NFL(mahomes and wilson), he shouldnt be in the top 100. solid logic here.... and comparing offensive linemans one on one matchups to a qb dealing with a whole defense isnt the greatest argument. especially because he mentioned tunsil. Didnt hughes line up over him for his 3 sacks in the wildcard game?

 

this is nothing to get legitimately worked up over, but its sorta silly reasoning. Gotta agree with @GunnerBill. He just needs something to rant about during a quiet stretch.

I stopped listening  when he said josh is 6foot 6"

What? The EDGE rushers are both at his sides in 2 seconds...and Knox is double

covered with the back line as an extra defender. It’s hardly what I’d call the most difficult throw I’ve ever seen, but “pretty routine” is a definite overstatement.

 

Moreover, when you’ve got 2 more downs at your disposal, go ahead and throw it over the double and make sure you don’t throw a pick. Hope the big TE can make a play (as a separate thought, Knox didn’t seem to be prepared to make a play on the ball; he kind of ran through his route instead of turning to high point the ball, but that’s a different discussion), and if not assume that you will get something that resembles a block from any offensive lineman on either 3rd or 4th down. Unfortunately none of those things happened.

Just watched the Josh Allen clip of his ranking. Probably already been said, but could they have picked a more nondescript collection of players to speak to Josh’s game? Nsekhe (biased) and Blake Cashman (Rookie)? Enlightening. Closest we got to anything interesting was the passing comment Myles Garrett made. ?‍♂️

Little low for tre IMO. Nothing to be ticked about or anything but I honestly thought he may crack the top 30. 
 

just hasn’t been playing at a true elite level long enough. He puts together another season similar to this last one and he’ll be there.

Agreed. You can go all the way up the list to Jameis Winston, if you want. It's not really a useful metric.

 

There's more like a useful threshold that if you get over, you are probably good. It's around 200-220 yards. Less than that is not ideal, more than that doesn't mean a whole lot.

 

To me it comes down to points and turnovers. All other metrics pale in comparison for QB's.

I agree. He had a comparable season to Gilmore, but Gilmore is going to be way higher. Tre should be top 30, I think.

I think he should be at least 27th iirc that’s how many players make AP 1st team AllPro

I also thought he’d be top 30. I guess maybe he just hasn’t had enough of those elite type seasons like last year. If he has something similar again in 2020 he’ll be a shoe in for top 30 or even 20 next year I would think.

For QB, its Yards per attempt and TD/INT ratio. Those are the two stats that matter most.

White is an amazing player and compares equally yo Gilmore.  I just think both are a notch below the truly elite guys in their prime like Sherman and Revis.

I think it's a different game than even when Revis was playing. Sherman is the same category of elite CB as Gilmore and White, in my opinion. He has just been doing it longer and Gilmore and especially White are just now breaking out.

This list has gotten so, so bad tonight. 

Can't believe Clowney is even on the list, much less that high. His 2019 season was not top 100 material.

Glad Diggs and White are on there, but should’ve been higher for both.  Allen surprised me being on there at all.  Not a problem with it, but surprised he made it.  I doubt anyone else makes it.  I thought Edmunds might, but if he’s not there by now, probably not happening.

 

As many have said, it’s a popularity contest, that’s it.

I think he is too high.... but I would still have him in the latter quarter of my top 100. He didn't play as well in 2019 as 2017 and 2018 but he still made game changing plays in multiple games.

The thing with the top 100 though is it is never just about the previous season. When you ask players they are always going to factor their whole history in. I suspect Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers will be higher than their actual 2019 performances for example. I still think it is way too low for Trey. I think he is a top 30 player in the league and his consistency across three years has been extraordinary.

Logan Ryan literally gave up the most yards in the NFL of any corner and is:

1. on the list

2. higher than guys like Marlon Humphrey lol

 

Also Jimmy G being ahead of Dak, Tre, a bunch of others.

 

Larry Fitzgerald being ahead of guys like Keenan Allen.

Crikey. Those are all awful judgments. Larry Fitz shouldn't still be on the list. And I say that as a huge fan of his. He is no longer one of the best 100 players in the league but as I said about Brady and Rodgers their past buys them certain allowances from their fellow players.

 

Marlon Humphrey shouldn't be far behind Tre. I had them right together at draft time just behind Lattimore in that great corner class. They are still pretty close together and a little ahead of Lattimore 3 years into their NFL careers. All 3 are miles better than Logan Ryan. And Jimmy G ahead of Dak? Lol.

I hear ya, makes me think of this example, Dak putting up big yards and not making the playoffs this past year.  Dak is a good QB as we all know,  all those yards in the end though didn’t get the job done, Its about team success first and foremost imo, personal stats don’t mean as much if your team doesn’t make the post season, which after all is the measuring stick, jmo. Here’s to Josh’s continued growth. ?
 

Go Bills!!!
