BuffaloHokie13 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 People here wouldn't like the week 1 efficiency rating results, but a couple other interesting tidbits: Allen had 63 total attempts in week 1. That's 6 more than the next most (Matt Ryan) and 22 more than the median (41 for Russ Wilson and Dwayne Haskins). Allen was 4th overall for total yards gained by a QB behind Matt Ryan, Phil Rivers, and Aaron Rodgers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starrymessenger Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 (edited) Some young QBs boom, most bust. Allen booms and busts all in the same game. If he doesn't fumble twice, hits an open Knox in the corner of the end zone and John Brown I'm pretty sure we 50 burger the Jets. That would be a truer reflection of the performance gap separating the two teams yesterday than the final score. Allen's physical ability is such that he can be a dominating presence. After Cashman went out yesterday he Jets lost the guy who was supposed to spy Allen. And of course running the ball Allen is a load. But I don't think he should be our #1 RB. If Daboll keeps running him like he did yesterday I fear it's only a matter of time before he gets injured. He runs with reckless abandon. If he goes down for any length of time the season is almost certainly over. As a player in development for playing the most demanding position maybe the Bills don't see him as yet ready to take full control and and make the best use of the talent that now surrounds him. IMO that needs to change as the season progresses if the Bills are to maximize their chances for success. Few of their opponents will be as pathetic as the Gase led Jets. Theirs is the 10th most difficult strength of schedule. On the other hand Cam is somehow still getting it done with his legs so who knows.

Any talk about how yards are gained is secondary to that, including how many yards rb's get vs what the qb accounts for. You are confusing the strategy (to be a winning team) with tactics (a certain split of yards gained). What we saw Sunday is that the Bills are capable of having a good offensive day and winning when the tactic involves Josh Allen carrying the offense almost single handedly.

I think it depends how much their running compared to their passing stats. Young has one season over 500 yards rushing so I think it’s a low percentage. FT never had over 400 yards rushing in a season. but this stat definitely favors running qb, kinda like fantasy football. Brady passed for 5,235 passing yards and 109!!! rushing yards in 2011. That’s a total of 5,344 yards. NE had 6,848 yards that year. So Brady’s % was 78%. In 2015, Bortles has 4,428 passing yards and 310 rushing for a total of 4,738 yards. The Jags had a total 5,581, making Bortles 85% of the Jags offense. Would you say that Bortles was carrying the Jags more than Brady was carrying the Pats? Kinda insane. Interesting stat but really doesn’t mean that much in the big picture. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills use Allen as part of the running game and I dont think it is because they lack a running game. It is part of the strategy because they value that part of his game. Singletary did have 750 yards on only 150 carries. I would speculate he is a 1000 yard rusher if he is given a big work load. Add in that Gore did rush for 600 last year and you had 1400 yards from your RB's. I would say regardless of Allen we have at least a decent running game. Add in Allen and it makes it a stronger one.
