Isn’t it obvious? It’s a calculated two-pronged approach from the Bills Front Office and Coaching Staff. 1) To upset you because we don’t use him the way that you’d like. 2) To force everyone here to read your God awful posts whining about it.

Yeah, because with all of his say in NY he's supporter Daniel Jones with... Isaiah Hodgins, Parris Campbell, Jalen Hyatt, Darius Slayton and Sterling Shephard? Oh yeah, he added Matt Breida and Tommy Sweeney too!

Can someone ban this guy? (again)

Haha, yeah, with picks 1.4 and 1.10. Coach No Context at it again!

Does it reinforce your point? I think you originally tried to ***** on Beane, but misread the graphic. It doesn’t mean that whoever wrote that blurb, DIDN’T vote for someone as a top GM because he doesn’t like them, he just didn’t vote them as trustworthy. I don’t disagree with the overall point that trustworthy doesn’t necessarily = good. It just seems that based on this poll, Beane may be the exception.

“I’ll take ‘That’s Not How That Works’ for 1,000, Alex.”

Miss percentage? Where did you get that metric?

Isn’t Brandon Beane on both?

This is a result of Lynch and Shannahan not being able acquire a good QB. They're to blame for that.

I just want to know what they SHOULD have done THIS YEAR? Don’t go back 3 years and say draft Creed Humphrey…

The talent is fine. Look around the NFL, it’s still a top 5 roster. I know you’re a glass completely empty guy, but it’s a preseason game.

Pretty upset with the offense. Not going to overreact because they’ll correct things, but not a great showing.

Except for that one time in Miami!

Top 3 things I'm looking forward to today Offensive Line Play Ability to run the ball Combinations used New Offensive Weapons Kincaid Harty Sherfield Shorter Isabella? LB It would've been the MLB competition between Bernard/Dodson, but the former's injury nixes that. Curious to see how Dorian Williams looks 4th is going to be backup QB play - but IDC that much.

That Belichick guy is pop-warner caliber for sure.

Well in that case… pot, meet kettle.

Yeah, I think everyone agrees with that. The rest of the picture requires context and knowledge. What most don’t want to agree with is your gut feeling carrying any significance. If you were breaking down film or bringing relevant facts to the table, I think this would be a different conversation. Unfortunately, it’s been a lot of “I think” and “I feel” with very little substance.

Stop with the facts. Opinions only!!

This just doesn't track. All they've told us this whole time is that he's got the physical tools and needs to get more comfortable with the scheme. It's been the same message from day 1 with Elam. They didn't go into "panic mode." They had one player left on their board that had a RD1 grade - Kaiir Elam. That's not panic mode... he wouldn't have been on the board if they didn't feel like he was worthy of the selection.

The older I get, the more disgusted I am by people.

I’m not debating you on the desire for him to run less. I’ve been consistent with that in every post. He’s not a running QB in the sense that all of the other guys you listed are. Nobody has put up passing seasons like Josh. I’m going to stop trying to explain to you. Others seem to understand my message pretty clearly and you’ve yet to acknowledge anything outside of a point that I’ve agreed with you on since the start. Go Bills.

That's not my point. You've labeled Josh Allen as a "running QB." You're trying to make the case that if he doesn't stop running, he's going to break down and fall off the face of the earth like the "running QBs" before him. I'm saying that Josh isn't a "running QB" like 17 guys you listed. Josh Allen, while currently one of the best "running QB' in the history of the NFL, is also one of the elite passers in the league. The elite passer part is something that none of the others had. That's the difference between Josh Allen and the rest of the names you listed... he's already shown to be significantly better than them at throwing the football. I agreed in my original post that he needs to limit the amount of hard contact he subjects himself to - I think everyone is in agreement on that point. What I'm disagreeing with is your comparison to other "running QBs" and it is because those guys aren't Josh Allen. They never stacked elite seasons as passers, which is why so many careers fizzled out when their legs were no longer an effective option. This isn't a video game - there are repercussions for your actions. Shohei Ohtani is a human being. Other players pay attention to how you treat guys. If you treat Ohtani like an object and "use him up" there is going to be zero trust for you/your organization league wide. You're asking coaches to risk their relationships and reputation You're asking a front office to turn a blind eye You're putting athletes long term health at risk As I've stated, Josh Allen should limit that amount of contact he subjects himself to. I feel the same way with Shohei Ohtani theoretically increasing his workload on the mount. If you want to use Shohei as a comparison for Josh, I'll use this one: Ohtani is a dual threat much like Allen. He's valuable on the mound and at the plate, similar to how Josh is valuable with his legs and with his arm. If you take away Ohtani's ability to pitch, he's still going to be one of the most feared hitters on the planet. If you take away Allen's ability to run, he's still going to be one of the most feared passers on the planet. Comparing Josh Allen to other "running QBs" is like comparing Shohei Ohtani to other two-way players such as Brendan McKay, Michael Lorenzen and Jared Walsh.

I remember not all that long ago when Dantzler was going to start over Elam and force our hand in trading him. Life comes at you fast in the NFL!

Out of the 17 guys you listed, there are 13 instances of guys throwing for more than 4,000 yards. 3 of them are Josh Allen in 5 seasons. In the top 10 rush Y/G the only guy outside of Josh to have a 4,000 yard passing season was Cam Newton… he had ONE 4,000 yard passing season his rookie year. There are 15 instances of guys throwing for 30 TDs. 3 of them are Josh Allen. In the top 10 rush Y/G there are only two players outside of Josh to throw for 30 TD in a season. Lamar Jackson and Cam Newton. Russell Wilson has the most 4,000 yard/30 TD seasons. He has four 4,000 yard seasons and five 30 TD seasons… it took him 8 years to accomplish that. Josh has 3 of each through 5 years. Does Josh need to protect himself a little better when he runs? I think so. Does he need to avoid contact a little more often than he has in the past? Yes. What Josh doesn’t need to do is transition from being a “running QB” to a pocket passer, because he isn’t a “running QB”, he’s the “great exception.”
