2020 Award for Worst Evaluation by a Media Member is.....


BITE ME

Recommended Posts

While they are so many to chose from, the 2020 Award for Worst Evaluation by a member of the media goes to .....  Michael Lombardi

 

Congratulations Michael. The Award is in the mail.

 

If you put Lamar Jackson in there instead of Josh Allen, they’re probably gonna be the team competing for a Super Bowl.

I think someone had 2019 and 2020 mixed up

 

However, that being said you have a huge hole at quarterback and can he make up the difference?
The schedule is gonna get harder; it’s gonna be a lot tougher and they’re not gonna be taken lightly.

 

(The Bills ranked) 27th in the league in passing yardage and 22nd in overall yards per attempt.

 

If that yards per attempt doesn’t get up into the top 10 we will not be talking about Buffalo as a Super Bowl team next year.”

Wow what a god awful take. May the lord take mercy on his soul 

 

Well had he said Patrick Mahomes it wouldn't have been so bad, but he chose a guy that was 0-2 in the playoffs who is not exactly a great passer.

Meh. There were legit concerns about our boy Allen before the year started. They have all clearly been answered. Now, if he sticks to that June take here in January then yes, it may be the worst evaluation. If he recognized the data points have changed and changed his assessment then he is no different than a great percentage of the media.

4 weeks ago he was still whining about Josh Allen's accuracy. Once a cheating loser Patriot, always a cheating loser Patriot.

Wow that take is terrible.  Lamar is on a team perfect for him.  A great defense that allows them to play the running offense they need to and the players and coaches perfect to make said run game work.  Lamar on this team would be lucky to make the playoffs at all.  Also, Lamar has yet to win a playoff game too.

Then he is a buffoon. The new Josh was evident by then and ol' Lombardi must be over committing to a bad assessment.  Got to know when to take the L and go on to a new battle.

He chose a QB on a run first team, that has the fewest passing attempts and yards of any starter, who attempts 50% of his passes off RPOs and play action, and runs an offense where most positive plays do not come from him in the pocket -  to insert into a pass first offense that relies primarily on the QB's abilities from the pocket...

 

Sounds logical to me...

Ugh I just saw that too. Whenever they put the camera on the bills he always loves to take the "well if they dont screw it up like they always do" angle.

Not a bad take in June ...

 

Really?  He tells us Allen is not accurate and then says that if only we had Lamar Jackson we would be competing for a Super Bowl.  When he wrote that Lamar Jackson was 0-2 in the playoffs with a career completion percentage of 51.5% in the playoffs.

I think Nick Wright would be right up there with everything that has come out of his mouth this year on the Buffalo Bills. I do realize however most of it has been intentional to seek national attention on his Allen take.

I agree, but Nick Wright is not a former NFL executive who covers football exclusively.  I have no problem with the criticism of Allen's accuracy heading into the year, but using Lamar Jackson as an example of who the Bills needed to take them to the Super Bowl?  Lamar Jackson is a really good player, but after watching how inaccurate and awful he was in both of his playoff starts, you have to be insane to say the Bills would be so good if only they had Lamar.

It's a dumb take, but to be fair I'm pretty sure they go around in their production meetings and decide who's going to give what take. I don't think they make them say anything, but they probably encourage all points of view to get discussed.

 

I mean that's why I listen to the Dan Le Batard show instead, because they parody these overly planned non-genuine radio/tv gas bag shows, but that's what you're getting on those shows.

Had the thread topic been “Media Member evaluation that was debatable at the time and later proved to be erroneous”, I’d agree with you.    The criticism of the take when he wrote it, as you say, should be “it was unoriginal and shared by 83% of media members.”

 

Hindsight criticism has limited value because it depends upon, well, hindsight.

I have to admit I loved when Bills fan and ESPN news voice Christine Lisi  put Le Batard in his place when he questioned Josh Allen and the Bills.

 

“I usually stick with the script, but with that moment, I couldn’t resist,” Lisi said, laughing. “It was rag-on-Dan day. I love Dan, so it doesn’t really matter what everybody thinks of Josh Allen, but as long as the Bills keep winning, that’s all that matters. And if people don’t want to give credit to the Bills, oh well!”
