It seems obvious that the Bills don't want a number one receiver or tight end. They want to spread it out so that on any given Sunday the opposition has no idea who is going to be on the receiving end of josh's passes. It could be any of 9 or 10 guys. Laporta is in an entirely different situation. He is one of 3 or 4 guys that Goff targets.
You're probably correct if you average it out, but if you consider the times when Josh was benched, it was when the Bills were totally dominating the other team and Josh's TD's and yardage would have probably doubled.
Not that stats are the most important thing, but it is a thing. According to Buffalo's stats Trubisky appeared in 9 games. I wonder how many quarters Josh is sitting on the bench because they didn't need to or want to run up the score. How many more TD's or more total yards would Josh have had?
We are concerned about who we should sit or play the last two games, but what will be the mindset for the Jets and the Pats? Will they be tanking for better draft positions?
Totally disagree with the statements that Jim Kelly didn't have the arm strength compared to today's QBs. You think Tua or Russell Wilson have stronger arms than Kelly had. Wrong, and there are others today that are fairly successful that don't throw as well as Jim did.
Maybe the QB could raise his arm (like calling for a fair catch) when going to slide. If he doesn't raise his arm he's going to be tackled. Seems to me to be an easy solution.
