Why do people insist on comparing QB stats from today to those in 1990? It’s stupid. Back in 1990, only 6 QBs had a passer rating over 90 and only 2 threw more than 30 TDs. Jim Kelly led the league in completion percentage with 63% and only 2 others had 60% or better. You can’t compare stats from different eras and hope to make some logical comparison. Allen may be good or he may stay exactly the way he is. Troy Ailman’s stats from from nearly 30 years ago proves nothing. Blindly looking at a few stats without any kind of context also proves nothing.

Chris Trapasso is ready to be hurt again

Surprisingly solid review

yes because EJ was that bad

It was easier watching us suck with Orton than EJ.

EJ absolutely sucked and it was painfully obvious. He wasn’t going to magically become what people hoped he would be simply because he was given more time.

Allen doesn’t belong in the same sentence as Peterman.

You have to know your audience here. There were people here still believing EJ Manuel would win the QB competition for Rex and suddenly be a franchise QB in his 3rd year.

if you still consider Allen a first year QB then by that logic Mahomes was also a first year QB during an MVP season. Barkley is also a first year QB too so if he makes a mistake then that’s fine since he’s still a rookie.

He’s a significantly worse QB than Allen. You can call him what you want but that’s the reality of the situation. I doubt sitting him for one game is going to magically make him see the field very differently. If he keeps turning the ball over then he won’t last in this league and we’ll go back to looking for his replacement. It’s as simple as that.

If Allen is healthy enough to play then he should be playing. If he can’t learn from these mistakes then he’s not going to last long. I don’t see how benching him for a clearly inferior QB helps him or this team.

yeah but Tyrod hadn’t started 16 games yet so he was still a rookie. That’s how it works right?

Said nobody ever

I’ve tried to remain cautiously optimistic about Allen. One bad or good game shouldn’t sway your opinion one way or the other. I am seeing concerning trends though. His bonehead throws and decision making are an obvious problem. I get it, young QBs make mistakes but Allen seems to keep making the same ones. He still has a lot of work to do before I consider him a franchise QB.

Death, taxes, and Burfict doing some dirty stuff on the field.

I’ve been a big critic of Ford at RT but let’s not make excuses for Allen. He needs to get his feet right and step into his throws. He was inaccurate yesterday.

yep, if I remember correctly there was absolutely nobody on that side of the field too. Would have been a massive gain

didn’t we only go no huddle for the opening drive of the 3rd quarter?

F Probably one of the worst games he’s played

Based on this hypothetical, the league should just give us the win. We might as well consider this another 4 quarter comeback and give Allen credit for another game winning drive.

I was at the game today and was watching the QBs warm up pregame. One thing I noticed was Allen was lackadaisical when throwing to receivers. Barkley was taking snaps from a coach and actually dropping back simulating game speed and stepping into throws whereas Allen took the snap, stood there and threw passes flat footed. It just looked lazy.

I said he hasn’t been a disruptive force in the backfield and rather than trying to have a discussion you went straight to insults and name calling. Given your responses so far it’s not a good look to criticize anyone for not having a well thought out response. If anyone has been spewing trash it’s you.

your contribution to this discussion has been nothing but slinging insults. Is this normal for you?

Sick burn man. Egg all over my face.

that’s what I’m here
