JESSEFEFFER

To be fair, Joe mentioned agents not teams. Reminiscent of the music industry payola of the 1950s.

He toasted UB for 8/174/2. I did not see it and suspect it was not televised.

I consulted with the spirit of Vizzini to come to this: Clearly, there is only one position group with an obvious opening and that is RB. Brandon Beane made a point of saying that they had confidence in Yeldon as RB2 and we know that Brandon can't allow himself to lie to the press and fans due to his Christian/Boy Scout character. Thus, he masks his intentions in an blizzard of honest comments but he withholds some. So what is the missing truth? Would they go into 2020 with Yeldon as the primary backup to Devin? Inconceivable! They want to upgrade the offense, add more playmaking talent, score more points, spread the RB workload, add to the positional depth and add a bigger bodied talent that can get tough yards. Doing so on a cheaper rookie deal for four years makes the most sense. The missing truth is that they want an RB1A or RB1B and it's not TJ Yeldon. Clearly, since there was no FA signing and we know that Beane likes to initially fill such holes with a FA signing, they have hopes to fill this spot via the draft and are hoping for a talent the equal of or better than Singletary to make it to within their striking distance. A true downhill runner who qualifies as a legit playmaker. This implies a 2nd or 3rd round pick, imo, and they likely have players targeted at both spots. Given the decline in RB draft status, it's likely that such a top talent could fall to a spot where they could conceivably go up and get him. So, my prediction is RB in round 2 or in round 3 with a trade up involved. If the guy they want makes it to 45ish or 75ish, they would not chance letting him get drafted by someone else. So.... Taylor in the 2nd or Akers in the 3rd.

I had never seen that camera angle before. Nice. Josh could stiff arm a T-Rex. I am sure someone skilled enough could photoshop that. It'd look good on a t-shirt, I think.

Jim Webb is and he got no run in either party. Or take the bpa, best punter available. Probably a good chance to be better than Bojo or so I am told.

Two areas to judge progress apart from supporting cast are ball security and giving his receivers a shot on deep balls. Those are almost 100% on him. I'd argue he got better on the ints after 1st Pats game but he's got to realize that when he is running with it the D is going after the ball because his size and upright style leaves it exposed. That crazy pitch was beyond reckless. He started hitting more deep throws late in the year. Brown vs Steelers, Broncos and Pats, Knox vs. Ravens and Pats, Beasley vs Ravens (dropped.) Like I said, it's on totally on him to be consistently better in those areas and it will be obvious to all of us if he is or not.

There is often a spy there.

I won't confuse my short term happiness with long term success but getting an elite all-around talent at RB, a DB to add to the mix and a rotation worthy DE would be pleasing.

I'd laugh too except the joke is on us now.

Question. How fair (or accurate) is this video compilation as an example of an inherent Josh Allen inaccuracy? I think 6 to 10 of these clips, apparently hand picked by Cian Fahey, show something other than what he claims. Sure there are some legit misses mixed in there. Every QB has them. I think it's more a case of a reputation becomes a generalization becomes an exaggeration. Fahey claims to be measuring something that most of his exhibit A video does not support. Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy work that brings his conclusion into question, imo. At least he spent the time to gather these up and put them in one 2 minute video which makes it easier to scrutinize. I wonder what most of us thought of these plays when we saw them live. I'd bet we were mostly wrong. I might try to go back to the gdt's and see who was freaking out. There were many like ScottLaw saying that they saw a bunch of bad throws compromised by bad mechanics of one kind or another. So, I decided to start posting these screenshots. The end.

A couple more vs. "Phins and Steelers but I'll stop if that makes some feel better. Just don't buy what Cian Fahey is trying to sell. Whatever you might want to measure Josh's accuracy at, it is a higher number than Cian's.

At :49 seconds #42 of the Browns, Karl Joseph, who looked to have been spying on Josh, quickly rushes around the end and leaps to tip the ball. Once again an altered throw which says nothing about accuracy. Sorry, it didn't let the photo post. Fixed, I had to save as a jpeg.

At 44 seconds vs. Pats, Butler and Hightower run a twist, Spain tries to pass Hightower off to Morse and take Butler but Hightower has already split the gap. He gets to within 2 feet of Josh (i.e. in his grill) with his arm extending up and toward where Josh's arm will be. I don't actually see the contact because of the camera angle but can we assume it happened based on how Josh's body acted afterward? We never see his right arm follow through so something stopped it.

The path of the ball "skips" due to the contact which was probably on the under side of the ball. Sorry you can't see it. The trouble is that it is tough to see the initial trajectory between the release point and contact so it is tough to see the path altered. At 80+ fps it's just a blur both before and after. Watch it full speed and there is a hopping effect to the path after it passes the defender. For some of these a zoomed in endzone shot would be nice. I think this one is clear.

At 1:43 the pass is tipped by Texans" LB (#55? McKinney?) during the OT. I wonder if Josh is prone to these tips. A quick high release combined with elite velocity might mean fewer batted balls (which are obvious where the nose of the ball needs to hit something) and more tipped ones.

At 1:11 Ravens' DT (#97?Michael Pierce?) tips the JA pass and it skips upwards after contact. Like a poor attempt to block a volleyball spike. So, Cian Fahey is inaccurate about this one too.

This throw produced a severe reaction in section 228. A wide open Dawson Knox is severely overthrown (into the wind) which produced many groans and sounds of verbal outrage. Just a continuation of his deeper throws inaccuracy maybe. But, thanks to Cian Fahey, I now see that Josh' forearm is crashing down on Chris Wormley's outstretched hand causing the ball to come out too early. If you watch it in the video, Wormley reacts like he touched a hot stove because it probably hurt more than just a little.

I am advocating for Josh in the court of public opinion. Cian Fahey is charging Josh with being the most inaccurate QB in the entire league. The video is his exhibit A and it's half full of plays like those two pictured above. His "evidence" is a steaming pile of bovine excrement.

Good question. Cody's footwork is terrible on the play. After the initial punch by the defender, Cody is knocked off balance, looses leverage and is bullrushed right into Josh. The red shoes really help to highlight their placement. At one point they are both at hash mark, perpendicular to the line of scrimmage. That is a losing position and he never anchors. Why all this happened I dont know. Ford is a rookie? Ford is not a RT? The defender made a nice play? Maybe the result an illegal headslap? I can't tell on my phone"s screen. Anyways, the only thing that slows the rush is when Cody collides with Josh.

This person makes a statement that, for the second year in a row, Josh Allen is the least accurate QB in the NFL and its not close. Then, in a supposed attempt to bolster his conclusion, he posts a hand picked (?) compilation of horribly errant Josh throws. And when you watch them they might seem to be as he claimed and as some here in this thread agreed. But, if you look closer at them, many are like these two above. Cian Fahey is less accurate than Josh.

Other than wasting time here? What's your real hobby?

Someone compiled this video as evidence of how horribly inaccurate Josh is. Many of these are not what he said they are.

At :25 seconds arms of Chad Thomas #92 (I think) and Josh Allen have a meeting. Evidence of bad Josh accuracy?

At 1:49 Cody loses leverage and is waltzed backward to step on Josh's plant foot. Errant due to inaccuracy?

We all agree that there is a "hole" on the roster in the RB group. Whoever they add and by whatever means they get him, he will be on the field with the ball in his hands way more than any other player they acquire from now until the start of the season (if we are blessed to have the conditions to have one.) This will happen if he is RB1, RB1a/b or RB2. RBs take more physical punishment than any other position, imo, and they get dinged up all the time. This RB might get significant playing time should Devin suffer any lingering or serious injury. We all want more playmaking talent added to the offense, right? So, why not get the best playmaking talent possible added to the roster? I am pretty sure that the Bills front office has put together a well thought out plan to address this roster "hole." I'd love to know what it is. We'll probably only know a small part of it based on what we see them do in the draft. Do they want a specialist? Do they want an all around talent that is capable of being on the field in any situation? Do they want someone that is good at parts of the game where Devin lacks? Getting someone as good as or better than Devin makes the offense better.
