  1. EJ Manuel is the opposite player of Josh Allen. EJM checked down over and over and never made big plays. Josh Allen makes tons of plays but struggles to check it down. They're completely opposite. The difference is that for EJM to develop he must make more big plays than he is capable of. For Allen to develop he must learn the mundane and tedious side of QBing, the boring B word work that any 7th round QB can learn.
  2. It is true and Allen is a smart QB so there should be no red flags going into this. Absolutely no proof that Allen will not develop, there is more evidence to support Allen being a good QB than a bad one. I think you've just been crushed over and over from previous QBs that you're a bit hesitant to be supportive of new ones.
  3. Once again, the good news for Allen is that the areas he's weak in areas that typically NFL veterans become proficient in over time. Allen can throw a 75yd strike to Robert Foster but he can't hit a 1yd RB screen? It'll come. As far as deep plays I think he's done more than you give him credit for. Foster has almost 400yds at 24yac. Zay Jones almost had a 3 TD 120yd game. He's making plays. Allen will become a manager in 2019 or will at least show development in that area next year. Every NFL QB should should should show growth here year after year. What you can't teach is the 45yd runs or TD passes thrown on a dime.
  4. He does indeed project as a G or RT, but I think he could help us at LT if we put him there. Certainly better than Dawkins. Will he be a 10x Pro Bowl player? No. LT. Jonah Williams LG. Dion Dawkins C. FA/Paradis/Morse RG. Teller/rookie RT. Rookie/rookie id at least expect a unit that can get stuff done.
  5. Bring Mills back on a 1yr deal. Draft a RT RDS 2-3.
  6. If he goes to G I think it would help us more. If we draft a LT and RT we upgrade 3 OL positions with 2 picks. Dawkins would be an All Pro LG. Sign a center in free agency and we're doing ok.
  7. I'm open to moving Dawkins to G and drafting a few Ts at this point. We're in a good position for Jonah Williams with that #1 pick, plug him in at LT.
  8. Historically speaking most veteran QBs have mastered the game in the areas Allen needs help at. I think Allen's issues as a game manager will correct itself over time. It will all even out. The big playmaking mentality that Allen brings though is elite, you have it or you don't. Once again, Allen will grow as a manager, guaranteed. We just got to let Allen grow, he will continue to improve until he's 34 or 35.
  9. Prognosis is good for Darnold and Allen. Both will be above average.
  10. People from space, they do not come from here. They are space people.
  11. I'm still here. Allen makes plays few QBs can make, it's just the routine check down passes he's struggled with. Allen needs to put on some tape of Chad Pennington and just observe him. Get more comfortable on them 5yd throws, play the chess game underneath. Most QBs do OK in this area over time, Allen just needs to put the brunt of his effort here this offseason. A pass catching TE and RB will get his completion % up quite a bit. Some of it is personnel and Allen has done well given the circumstances.
  12. We can get his completion percentage up, he needs a couple pass catching RBs and an OL. Then he'll be 63-65% guaranteed. He makes enough big plays a game, it's just the chess match in the red zone and 10yds underneath the D that he could use to work at in the offseason.
  13. Trade down twice if you can. There's talent in every round.
  14. Need to see a big game out of Zay and hopefully our other WRs can make up the difference so we look like an NFL offense. Hopefully McKenzie plays and Foster gets some action.
  15. Big contract + suspension risk. Would rather us approach RB by committee.
  16. Hunt is a suspension liability that will eventually demand a huge contract.
  17. There is no way you bring Shady back, all of them need to go. We'd be better off signing Yeldon and Coleman and doing it RB by committee. Hell, between cutting Shady and Ivory we'd probably save money by signing Yeldon and Coleman. We'd be a lot younger too.
  18. No thanks. Would much rather sign TJ Yeldon and Tevin Coleman and have a RB by committee approach. Think those two could combine for more than Hunt.
  19. TJ Yeldon was a 2nd round pick a few years ago, career 4ypc guy and is an excellent receiver too. He was behind Fournette on the depth chart, bring him here to be our #1 RB. Shouldn't cost much. Could potentially be a 1,000yd rusher and putting up numbers as a receiver. Perfect guy for our offense.
  20. Brady threw for 5,200 with Gronk and Hernandez. Fant can be our Gronk. Caleb Wilson could easily play the Hernandez role on the field. Tyrell Williams would go up against Zay for that #1 spot. Just another quality NFL target.
  21. FA: 1.) Tyrell Williams, WR, LAC 2.) TJ Yeldon, RB, JAC 3.) Tevin Coleman, RB, ATL 7: R1P7 TE NOAH FANT IOWA 39: R2P7 OT GREG LITTLE MISSISSIPPI 70: R3P6 G ROSS PIERSCHBACHER ALABAMA 109: R4P7 C TYLER BIADASZ WISCONSIN 133: R4P31 G DARRYL WILLIAMS MISSISSIPPI STATE 146: R5P7 TE CALEB WILSON UCLA 163: R5P24 WR PARRIS CAMPBELL OHIO STATE 182: R6P7 OT MAX SCHARPING NORTHERN ILLINOIS 223: R7P7 WR EMMANUEL HALL MISSOURI 232: R7P16 RB TRAYVEON WILLIAMS TEXAS A&M
  22. He has proven he can make plenty of big plays, what I want to see is Allen be a chess player when he works the 1-10yd throws underneath. If he does that he is a complete QB and no longer a project.
  23. It's actually not a bad idea if you sign a veteran center in free agency (Morse/Paradis). LT: Dawkins C: Morse RT: Jonah W Itd at least be a clean pocket for Allen now.
  24. TJ Yeldon or Tevin Coleman would be nice and wouldn't cost too much. Plug them in at RB and draft 5-6 OL and a couple TEs, have the ability to pound teams. Mitch Morse is the 16th rated center on PFF, that may be where we go with the big money. Cole Beasley and Tavon Austin I'd go after as well, they upgrade us and cost pennies. Go to the draft for our other needs. Yeldon/Coleman combo would be interesting.
