Nephilim17 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 How dare he say we have a top-3 QB in the league! How dare he say that a three-time MVP and Super Bowl champion is better than Josh! Yes, Rodgers, is past his prime but Beasley is a) looking for a job and b) most likely talking about the career of Rodgers, not his current ability (see a) for a reason why he would do this). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 Well, Rodgers only won 1 Super Bowl and 4 MVPs. Imagine saying that. He should have won more rings is the only thing you can really say about his on field career. The fact that this is the criticism tells you everything you need to know about how good he has been.

I don’t understand this aspect of our culture whatsoever. Fans are going to do anything in hopes of catching the attention of a pro athlete, but why do these guys even respond? It seems like fans get more out of these types interactions than the athlete.

But Mahomes is on a trajectory to be the best qb ever. I don't think people are arguing that Mahomes isn't the top QB in the league right now. I think he cemented that by changing a lot of his offensive cast (still has Kelce though) and still winning a Championship. Relative to Mahomes, Allen was in a terrible situation: 1. Mahomes got a full rookie year to watch and learn behind a very capable veteran QB with one of the top offensive coaches in the league at his side. 2. In year 2, 2018 Mahomes was given the keys to a ready-to-drive sports car of an offense that had been 6th in points and 5th in yards in 2017. Kareem Hunt at RB 1300 yds; Tyreek Hill at WR; Travis Kelce at TE. Decent OL book-ended by Eric Fisher and Mitchell Schwartz, Mitch Morse at C. Mahomes ELEVATED that sports car and made it work better, but the car and all its components were there. 3. When Mahomes did take over, he had another capable and experienced veteran in Chad Henne backing him up and helping him on the sideline, and a very good, experienced QB coach in Mike Kafka In contrast, Allen was declared not ready to start and took #3 snaps most of the preseason, then was flung into the fire halfway through Game 1 when it was clear Peterdude was still a hot mess under center. His OL couldn't block - Vlad Ducasse at LG got him impaled, Russell Bodine was a mess at C, Miller and Mills on the R side - Aye Yi Yi. It was Daboll's first year with the Bills as OC and he had a bad track record elsewhere. I couldn't figure out what he was trying to accomplish on many plays, even allowing for poor execution. Allen was throwing to Zay Jones, Robert Foster (who couldn't run routes or track the ball) and Fat Kelvin Benjamin. Frankly, I think Allen picked up some bad habits that year he's still working to shake, such as bailing from the pocket and trying to make things happen himself because he had no one else he could count on. Daboll improved a lot from 2019-2021 but even there, there would still be a play or a handful of plays every 2nd or 3rd game where I'd be "what were you trying to do?" - that 3rd and 5 backward pass to Singletary in the 4th Q vs Pittsburgh would be an example. Even McDermott couldn't extenuate that one!!!!! The line has improved, but it's never IMHO been a top line - middle of the pack, no more - and we've never had a good run game besides Allen. The WR improved in 2019 and more with the addition of Diggs, but we've never had the equivalent of the Kelce-Hill 1-2 punch or even the Kelce-Tiktokboy. Kelce is in a class of his own where teams just can't cover him when he's "on". "KC's D has sucked most of the time Mahomes has been there" Get Out of Here with that, Bad Take. It wasn't so good his first year 2018 - 24th - but since then 7th, 10th, 8th and 16th. They moved on from 2018 DC Bob Sutton to Steve Spagnuolo in 2019 and have been solid to good ever since, despite regularly rebuilding their player personnel at LB and DB. Chris Jones and Frank Clark are Beasts. Anyway, I don't think there can be real argument that Allen is still in a worse situation than Mahomes as far as his OL and skill players, leaving coaching out of it. It's why so many of us are pretty fierce to see the Bills really invest in offense this off-season, because we don't want to see Allen turn into Rodgers or worse, Cam Newton or Andrew Luck - a QB whose career was prematurely truncated because his team let him down and didn't protect him well enough or put enough talent around him.

But it does seem like a long way from “I love you Josh Allen” and saying that the only place that he wants to continue playing is in Buffalo.

Allen also joined a team that went to the playoffs and consistently had a top 5 defense. this isn’t to discredit Allen (and I’m not referring to your post) who is a million times better than I could have ever hoped for. But this board loves to discredit PM (see the training camp thread of him throwing an int in his 1st training camp practice). He passed for 5,000 yards and 41 tds in his last year in college.

Oh, wow that is total Weak Sauce. You'll make a general statement, blah blah' someone will refute it with specific points and examples - "Too Long to Respond to All of This" blah blah. I always use points not yards for defensive ranking because....wait for it...points are what win games. That isn't an arguable, so to speak, point. Especially when a team is ahead, a D can give up all kinds of yards, and it means nothing. But make an agenda out of it - then you get to explain how you looking at yards and IGNORING points when you said KC's D has "sucked the whole time Mahomes has been here" isn't a Big Honkin' Agenda on your part. 59 minutes ago, C.Biscuit97 said: stop trying to discredit PM. Have a good day. You're a piece of work, you know that? I started out saying, quote: "I don't think people are arguing that Mahomes isn't the top QB in the league right now. I think he cemented that by changing a lot of his offensive cast (still has Kelce though) and still winning a Championship." And you respond "stop trying to discredit PM". I'm clearly not trying to discredit Mahomes, I'm pointing out that your statement "it’s weird that people act like Allen was in soem (sic) terrible situation and mahomes had so many advantages" is Bunk, Period. Allen WAS placed in a terrible situation relative to Mahomes, who took over the keys of a top-5 offense with experienced coaching, top players, and a top backup. The reason you aren't going to respond to all of this is not because it's "too long", but because you can't, not rationally. 57 minutes ago, C.Biscuit97 said: But wasn’t Daboll? How many young guys get the same OC for 4 years to start their career? There's no question that a lot of young QBs are hurt by constant churn on the coaching staff and especially at OC. But the point is, Daboll did not start off as "COTY" in 2018. He had a learning curve at OC, a learning curve as a QB mentor, and a learning curve as a Leader of Men. All one has to do to demonstrate that is listen to his interviews in 2018 and 2019 and compare them to interviews in 2020 and 2021. One of the smartest things Daboll did as HC was hire a good OC (Pat Mahomes QB coach as a matter of fact) and a good DC, then give them space. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KC’s defense has also sucked most of the time Mahomes he has been there. Allen is at the absolute worst a top 3 qb which is crazy to think the bills have that. But Mahomes is on a trajectory to be the best qb ever. crazy Cole isn’t that crazy for this. This is one of those situations where it was mutually beneficial Brian Daboll was an excellent offensive coordinator Josh Allen, a franchise QB They made each other great and since the office of output last season were still tops in the league or close to it Josh Allen is making another offensive coordinator look awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Mahomes is on a trajectory to be the best qb ever. crazy Cole isn’t that crazy for this. Good post. I agree with all of it. It’s not that I hate Cole’s take. It’s just a dumb thing to be so contentious about on social media. Didn’t he say he wants to play this year. Cross that off the list. I also hate the “well Mahomes has Andy.” Who cares. Should we get a head start? Should they spot us points? There’s no real world application where this actually matters in a way that’s correctable. Be better in whatever situation you’re in, or don’t. Also, Reid has never coached anybody ever who has been able to enter the GOAT conversation and that seems to be Mahomes trajectory at the moment. So maybe a little credit where credit is due to the player. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This last part is absolutely true. "Nobody Cares, Work Harder" as Harbaugh would say. Ya gotta play the hand you're dealt, fly the weather you find, etc etc. But if you agree that Allen was NOT in a poor situation offensively starting out in B'lo relative to Mahomes starting out in KC, and that KC's defense "has also sucked most of the time Mahomes has been there", I have a beach cottage in Batavia NY for sale, Wanna buy? Neither are true. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
