Which team did a better job of putting the other Teams QB in more uncomfortable situations? I’m not an advocate of firing team McBean, but it’s not unreasonable to expect them to understand their deficiencies and improve. I have far more faith in Josh and the offense to perform to a high level than our defense. Too many missed or meh draft picks on the defensive side and it showed against all of the better offenses we played against. Just like many of you pointed out, KC’s defense appeared to have better players and scheme. Outside the first couple drives, I thought Josh was as good as Mahomes. What he had to face was a more talented better prepared defense than Mahomes had to.
Steve Air McNair for style of play, toughness and leadership by example. Neither were blue chip college QB prospects . Yes, Allen is bigger, stronger, faster, but I think there are similarities.
Did you mean to say “trying to make the defense worse”? They’re struggling and in need of changes. The bigger problem is that our recent picks at linebacker and D line are not producing at a high level. I won’t call them busts yet, but they’re not playing at a level you’d like your higher draft picks to be playing at.
Would Mahomes really be doing that much better than Josh on this Bills team? Swap QB’a and my money would be on KC with Josh, their players and Andy Reid. What am I missing? Our QB play is holding us back?
it benefits Mahomes greatly as a QB that defenses have to worry about KC’s running game. Josh isn’t perfect, but I think he’s playing extremely well given our OL’s struggles and the lack of a running game (not to mention no competent big man to throw to). I think he can get a team to bowl, just maybe not this team this year.
you have to love the insult crew. It’s all cake, ribbons and rainbows, but that quickly turns to flame throwing if you don’t share their opinion. ass hat? Really? I’m not apologizing for wanting to see a higher level of play from this group at this point the rebuild. I’m thrilled you’re satisfied with what you’re seeing.
No Brady, no Gilmore, no Edelman, all the missing pieces on Defense... That’s not progress. That’s not taking a step toward being a legitimate playoff team. Isn’t that what this year is about? They’re not going anywhere playing like this. They aren’t gaining any ground on the elite teams. Is that win really a reason to celebrate?
It's difficult to quantify potential and assess what a player that's rough around the edges will do to reach it once he starts getting paid. He wasn't a great passer coming out of college, so what do you look for:
Flashes of great passing
Athleticism
Brains
Leadership
Competitiveness.
Work ethic
Coachability
Then you place the bet.
