    You know, here's the thing: Lamar was a far more effective passer in college running a far more pro-like passing attack than Tyrod.

    I promise you, Tyrod never through more than 400 attempts for 3500 yds  at V Tech.  Not even close. 

     

    Lamar is a rookie.  He doesn't know what the heck he's seeing or what he's supposed to be doing, like most rookies.  The Chargers took away what he's been able to do, and he laid an egg.  A big egg.

     

    One of two things will happen: he'll learn, and improve, or he won't.  You're d*** straight, he's got a lot of work to do.  I think the Ravens knew that when they took him.

     

    Before the draft, I wanted no part of either Jackson or Allen.  Mayfield was my guy, with Rosen in second place.   I may have been wrong about Rosen (we'll see) and I like Allen a lot better than I thought I would, but he's got a lot of work to do too.  Anyone who doesn't think Allen would have laid an egg yesterday against that Chargers D is dreaming.   Maybe not quite as big an egg as Jackson laid, but chances are very high that the egg would still be on the field.   The Chargers wanted that win, very badly, and it showed.

     

     

     

    I honestly don't think Allen would've laid an egg. He's been progressing nicely all year. What's funny to me is listening to people talk about Jackson's running ability. Allen had a much higher YPC than Jackson. Would've had a lot more yards than Jackson IF we were running the type of offense the Ravens were. But Allen is a real QB and he is a definite threat from the pocket. Jackson is not the one with the most yards rushing by a QB over a 3 game span. Allen is. I'm not saying the Bills would've won the game but I certainly don't agree with Allen laying an egg. He isn't a one dimensional player.

    He still has issues with the easy throws, mainly the swing passes and screens.

     

    Plus he passes those throws up a little too much.

     

    Hopefully he works tirelessly on that and then next year he uses the opportunities to get those easy completions.

     

    Hell, Tom Brady has lived off the RB completion for years now.

     

    Part Josh but also part Daboll. Not a ton of short throws called in general. But I agree, the short passing game in general needs a ton of work. Especially if they are going to keep McCoy. They went after a lot of speed guys at receiver like Foster, McKenzie, need to get all these guys in space on the perimeter much more often than we tried to this year.

    Absolutely.

     

    He still has the issues with ball placement and decision making that worried me in college, but his leadership and ability to make a play has changed the way I see him.

     

    I wanted Darnold and Mayfield and no part of either Josh.

     

    Glad that I appear to be wrong as of now.

     

    I think his accuracy issues are a bit overblown now compared to draft night. I also never knew he'd be a better runner than Tyrod.

    Possibly, it is also possible That Brady isn’t 100% right now.  Another possibility is his second favorite weapon is a shell of his former self in Gronk, and he basically has White and Edelman to throw to. 

     

    That said the Pats ran for almost 300 yards today against one of the better run D in the league.. so we don’t need Brady throwing for 400 yards with that..

     

    Say what? Our run D is awful.

  5. How many of his picks are bad throws and how many are bad decisions? He could clean up 75% of his INTs by just not throwing across his body. When he feels like doing that he needs to just toss it out of bounds. Also the 2nd most drop percentage in the league as someone mentioned. And those short gimme passes, when does he ever get those? I've been calling for a shorter, quicker passing game all year to develop a rhythm with Foster and McKenzie, get the fast guys in space on the outside, McCoy as well.

    As usual, Teflon Josh is in full effect. Stats don't matter for this guy. Everything can be explained away. 

    2BD loves to talk about Allen's drops & throwaways and come up with some adjusted completion percentage.

    Of course, we don't do this for the other 31 QBs, so it's a very accurate comparison. 

    Did anyone see the Fox stats about Aaron Rodgers and his 50 throwaways? No other team has more than 30! 

     

     

    So you are saying that Fox was explaining away Rodgers completion percentage this year? Interesting...

     

    So in reality, people do this for every QB in the league, especially the good ones when they have an off day or an off year but you're upset that we can also apply that to a rookie QB with 8 starts who should be getting the benefit of the doubt since he is a rookie.

     

    Right.

    They were definitely manhandled by the Jets OL.  Darnold was never under duress (except for that one play which he miraculously completed for a TD)...

     

    Maybe true, but you've got to also realize that when they do bring pressure, it's usually with the other team in it's own end. With their drive starts they were playing a lot of base cover 2 to attempt to prevent a score. Coaching staff is too conservative once the opposing team is across the 50. Darnold also supposedly struggles against zone so it was just a part of the game plan.

    Being Beane: Turning Bills into a Contender via 2019 NFL Draft, Trade, Free Agency

     

    How to make Bills into instant contender this offseason
     
    By Ryan Talbot | Contributing writer
    Brandon Beane has the opportunity to turn the Buffalo Bills into a legitimate contender in the 2019 offseason.
     
    Buffalo currently has 10 picks in the 2019 NFL Draft and Spotrac.com projects that the team will have over $90 million in cap space. How would we use these assets to turn the Bills into a powerhouse? We're glad you asked.
     
    Laid out is a position-by-position breakdown of key players under contract for the team in 2019 and moves that we'd make in free agency, via trade and the draft to bolster positions if we were Bills GM. 

     

    Trading for AJ Green is not something I would want to see the Bills do. Too much money and draft capital. Scenario B I think is a better option. It's up to Allen to make Jones or Williams a number 1 wide receiver. As we saw with our last exodus of talent at the wide receiver position, all the guys were capable of being number 1 guys, we just didn't have a QB to get them the ball.

    Letting McCoy walk would also be a wise decision. I know he's a fan favorite but the cost of keeping a 31 year old back who is definitely showing signs of hitting the wall isn't worth the fan service. Ivory can also go, I agree. If we do keep McCoy he won't be happy because I don't think he will be a feature back like he has been. Daboll's system seems to be more about a power running back, a north/south kind of runner like he utilized in Alabama.

     

    Jared Cook might be a nice stop gap but the Bills should be targeting a young TE in the draft. The position is a mess.

     

    The offensive line is awful. Only bringing in a new center won't cut it. This is where I'd like to see the Bills spend their money in free agency. I like your center choice but we're going to need a lot more than that. Chance Warmack of the Eagles is a potential target, certainly an upgrade to what we have. Bobby Massie could also be an upgrade on the right outside as the Bears are up against the cap and he may be cheaper coming off a big contract that he didn't quite live up too.

     

    The defense I think remains mainly the same. Shaq stepped up this year, Edmunds will be better in year two, Milano is an animal. We might be replacing Kyle depending on what he decides in the offseason. Will need a decent rotational player and have Phillips or Phillips step into Kyle's shoes. And I think we'll see another corner drafted.

     

    My ideal draft would look something like Noah Fant in the first, Anthony Johnson in the second and Bryce Love in the third. A nice infusion of young skill players, a veteran offensive line and young guys on defense continuing to progress should make for an exciting 2019.

    Always felt that way, looks like his head was put in a vice as a kid, most great QBs are good looking,  Steve Young, Kelly, Marino, Unitas, Starr, Brady, Elway, Staubach, ....think about it.  Bradshaw & Luck  some of the few exception and not even sure Luck is "great" QB.  Allen is a good looking man, although sometimes he looks like he is 12 yrs old.

     

    Good looking guys have a lot of self confidence if not downright arrogance (Kelly, Brady) , something you desperately need to be a great QB.

    No team will take Kaep and there’s a lot of excuses around how he hasn’t played a snap.  Or, about how San Francisco benched him for not fitting their model.  Honestly San Francisco ownership is a regime which turned on Harbaugh; it’s last great Coach in hubris.  Anyone want to take a chance and hire Tomsula would any fan of Buffalo want him over McDermott?  

     

    Elway said he offered him a contract. He's making enough in endorsements and such that I doubt he actually NEEDS to play football. I bet his asking price is a way bigger turn off than the fact that he might kneel.
