The Biggest Whiffs In Buffalo Bills History
Wayne Arnold replied to BuffaloRush's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Signing Langston Walker and Derrick Dockery to ridiculous contracts. Whaley and Marrone tried to repeat history years later by signing some bum lineman named Chris Williams to a bloated contract. -

MMQB: The Jets' Long Road To Sam Darnold
Wayne Arnold replied to Coach Tuesday's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Darnold is such a laid-back dude. NYC could be quite the culture shock for him. -
Keep in mind, those statements were made in response to a poster who compared those who think Allen is good and worthy of a top pick to naive, crazy people getting pissed on. #context Nevertheless, that doesn't make those statements any less true. There absolutely was an anti-Allen campaign and people who don't spend a lot of time studying players and/or don't know what they're looking at even if they do are more likely to join the growing crowd. That does not mean informed opinions who don't like Allen's game and didn't think he should have been a Top 10 pick shouldn't be taken into account.

No you didn't "seen" two out patterns Allen missed in the clips I added. I'll repeat: Timing routes require wide receivers that have the ability to get separation on a consistent basis. Otherwise you're playing with fire no matter who your QB is. That's why you didn't see many (if any) of those type of routes in Wyoming's offensive system.

Not a fact at all. No you didn't. And it's not a highlight reel. . Timing routes require wide receivers that have the ability to get separation on a consistent basis. Otherwise you're playing with fire no matter who your QB is. That's why you didn't see many (if any) of those type of routes in Wyoming's offensive system.

Leading a receiver perfectly into a throw in stride is anticipation. The quarterback is anticipating where the receiver will be when the ball reaches his hands and throws it to that spot. Re: "timing routes" - please show me all the timing routes Allen missed on at Wyoming. I'll wait. As for Ryan, he finished 61st in the country in passer rating. Besides the fact that Ryan offensive coordinator as BC liked to pass the ball a lot, the statistical differences between Ryan and Allen in college are minimal. Both had relatively poor numbers (for various reasons) considering they were both top NFL prospects. Matt Ryan vs. Josh Allen Touchdown Percentage Allen - 5.2 Ryan - 4.7 Interception Percentage Allen - 2.4 Ryan - 2.9 Completion Percentage Ryan - 59.3 Allen - 56.2 Yards Per Attempt Ryan - 6.9 Allen - 6.6 Passer Rating Ryan - 127.0 Allen - 124.0

It's called group-think. Allen was (is) a victim of a growing nerd movement in the football world. The nerds used him as the symbol of the old-school scouting mentality and the enemy of the moneyball method. "Big arm quarterback with bad stats is the potential #1 overall pick - let me show you why the NFL scouts are WRONG!" The nerds used Twitter to destroy his reputation and the general public swallowed it up because all they saw was negative negative negative. Don't overestimate the knowledge and wisdom of the common fan.
