I think Brown is demonstrating that he fits into that category as well. This is the best tandem we’ve had since Reed and Lofton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 A solid B. The fumbles were unacceptable, as was not stopping and setting his feet on the Brown TD miss. Lots of things to contine working on. OTOH, many good things too, like better patience in the pocket and distributing the ball to all his receivers... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Gal Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 As a QB? This was an A game. 71% completion, over 300 yards, a win... As a RB? Erm maybe let him be a QB? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBennett Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 B+ I agree with. take away the fumbles and add 2 more scores lets say (which should have happened) a 37-17ish game... but he did look decent PASSING and got 300+ first time out and contributed 3TD 2 passing 1 running. Overall i was impressed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I am B+ too. I thought he was an A- as a passer, the points knocked off are for the fumbles.

loveorhatembillsfan4life Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 You take the good, you take the bad. He had great command of the offense. Spread the ball around and made plays to keep the chains moving.. I’m fine with a B plus due the fumbles. I hope coach chews him out. Gets into trouble just trying to rely on his arm but that’s probably not the easiest thing to tone down due to his competive nature. He looked like a more complete nfl qb today tossing the rock.

Did you ignore how the momentum of the game changed after his 2nd fumble. Josh played great and I'm more generous and might even grade him A- but those fumbles today were identical to all the ones last year. They are avoidable if someone "capable" would actually work with him on proper technique. In a close game against a better team a couple of fumbles can easily cost you the game. As another poster said he gets an A as a QB and a C+ as a RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 I'd go A- just because of the fumbles, one bad throw, and one boneheaded throw across his body that was nearly picked off. Other than that, he looked REALLY good. Great pocket presence, ball placement, and made decisive decisions against a d-coordinator that can give young QB's headaches. It's nice to have WR's that can catch the damn ball as Diggs really opens up this offense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullBuchanan Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 (edited) He gets a B+ from me. When he looked great in the first half, he looked as good as anybody. He left too much on the board and you just can't have that kind of turnover. Every QB turns the ball over, but those kind of fumbles are becoming a huge problem for him. Two wide open TDs that you just can't leave out there either. Against a better team, that could have bitten us in the ass.

It's tough to grade because he was A+ otherwise but the mistakes have to be cleaned up too. It's not the end of the world. He has a real offense around him now so I'm going to grade him tougher. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanSD Posted September 13, 2020 Share Posted September 13, 2020 B+ is about right. Josh had a very good game, but he had a few mis-throws and turned it over twice. Ultimately, we won the game because of Josh Allen. That's the important takeaway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
