No problem. I find that I have to clarify quite a lot of what I say.

It's a scale so he falls between the two in certain areas. Mariota and Wentz being the different ends of the spectrum. I'm also guessing that height/weight wise, Allen is bang in the middle of the two. Athleticism also goes beyond the stopwatch, it also impacts stylistic approach.

Who is your surprise cut?
Blokestradamus replied to Kirby Jackson's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
How about Jerel Worthy? Is that really a surprise? Can't see them keeping three different 3-tech bodies. Kyle is starting and Adolphus is only one year in. -
Took a look at half a dozen Josh Allen games yesterday. Nowhere near the finished article yet but there's a few building blocks for 2017. The arm is really impressive. He's got an "effort ball" where he can seriously gun it but it has a lower trajectory, more likely to be tipped. Athletically, he's on the Mariota/Wentz scale. Some similar ball security issues to those guys as well. Nice quick release and willingness to fit tight windows over the middle. Plays off-script and can make plays by extending. Really needs to make all of his fakes/handoffs look the same but he's even faked out a couple of cameramen Seems as though there's a disconnect between upper and lower body mechanics with him. Squares up nicely for throws on the move. Feet don't seem to line up properly, especially on throws from in the pocket. Throwing base also gets a little wide when moved off his spot. There's also some major issues with decision making (15 INT's could've easily been 20+) and correctly moving against pressure. Some of that is simply due to inexperience but I want to see him learn the value of throwing it away. Although they've worked so far, he's got to stop the cross-body throws. NFL DB's will eat that **** up. Interested to see how Wyoming develop him. Losing all 3 of his top targets from last season (including the amazing Tanner Gentry). The under center stuff helps but I'd like to see them add a little more speed option because his athletic ability is a positive. Talent to work with but I'm just not ready to annoint him just yet.

Jonathan Williams DUI verdict: Not Guilty
Blokestradamus replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
League discipline under Goodell has typically been as much about perception than anything else. He pretty clearly couldn't get through the field sobriety test. Keep him in Buffalo once Uber is up and running. -
No doubt that there's some mindblowingly stupid people on the left. I get called liberal a fair bit but I'm more 'issue-based centrist' if I tag myself with anything. I like to believe that I'm intelligent enough to make my own mind up about most things. That said, if you run a "Corbyn is a terrorist lover" campaign, maybe don't keep power by jumping in bed with a party that has links to extremist paramilitary groups. To the counterpoint, there's also a lot of folks on the right that'll tell you they have a right as Christians to believe a cubic !@#$ton of crazy **** that they condemn in other religions. We're all pretty horrible in some way or another

Maclin better than Keenan Allen?
Blokestradamus replied to BrycePaup4ever's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
No, stop it. -
Probably. Would explain the forearms.

Are you ready for some football (world cup)

I'm still waiting on the maturation of Gedion Zelalem. I'll take him on loan at Stockport next year -
I'm impressed with the stadium wall!
Blokestradamus replied to major's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It does reinforce my belief that people are typically fundamentally good. We may disagree on football but that's just a game. Views differ wildly because it just doesn't matter. On basic principles of being good people/friends/neighbours, we're probably more alike than we realise. Even going back to my BBMB days, Bills fans have been a great support network for me when I've struggled with mental health issues. A few years ago, I had a pretty severe breakdown and felt as though I had nowhere else to turn. If it wasn't for the compassion of almost total strangers, I might not even be here. -

Nick Freeman wouldn't have got him off that charge so this dude must be the Jesus of lawyers -
Kellen Clemens being that high makes me want to vomit. Good old Mr 54% with more turnovers than scores, a "useful stand-in" he ain't. Although, with the criteria set, I see why Cardale might be up there. With an arm like his, the deep ball is a viable theoretical point, thus leading to plausible chunks of yardage to be gained.

James Hardy found dead in Indiana
Blokestradamus replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He always seemed to be destined for an untimely demise. For whatever reason, trouble seemed to follow him at every turn. I hope he's at peace with whatever demons he's been haunted by. -
Jeremy Maclin (Agrees to 2 year deal with Ravens)
Blokestradamus replied to BillsDiehard's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It's a big enough deal that you can use both. -

We should sign Pitta! Git 'er done! -
She's a bit of an all-rounder. Accomplished equestrianer and captain of the England Kabaddi team. http://www.footballamerica.co.uk/blog/meet-phoebe-schecter-48.html

I feel the urge to listen to Rick Astley.
