So the following "spider charts" were shown in the BN article: See it: Why PFF is so low on popular Bills mock draft QB Josh Allen. The data is fro PFF. Do you think these charts are reflective of NFL success? I wish we had charts for QBs from previous draft classes as a method of comparison....Opinions on this?

I'd like to see Mayfield's passing chart just to see how many of his completions were "gimmies" as in easy throws like bubble screens, dump-offs, short in-breaking routes, etc. It'd also be nice to see charts for the other guys as well to see which parts of the field they excel at throwing to.

This article by Bill Barnwell from earlier in the week at least answers your question as it affects these QB's 2017 season:

Draft Mayfield and get me a #6 jersey :thumbsup:

Truth is, Rosen is the #1, Baker #2, Darnold #3. If we land either, I'd be a happy man. That said, I can't help but think Beane just got his first lesson in reality. We may not get any of them. Hope I'm wrong

Those are interesting #'s. 

 

I wonder how much of an affect on overall completion % those lower numbers of short throws have on Allen and Jackson. Also, is that lower # of short throws indicative of the fact that those two ran more pro-style offenses?

I share it with you LOL.  My order is the same.  Rosen, Mayfield, Darnold.  After that, I am not taking a QB before I take Roquan Smith, Denzel Ward, Trumaine Edmonds, Will Hernandez, Darius Guice.

According to this Mason Rudolph is the second best QB and LamarG3's passing grade is equal to Darnold's.

 

I've gone from thinking PFF was a flawed but useful tool to thinking it's only value is as a conversation piece.

I tried so hard not to get invested in these guys but I have a serious man crush on Mayfield.

 

You watch them beat a few cupcakes and win some hyped rivalry games on Saturday’s, I know the feeling.

 

but as a big ten fan I mistrust great QB performances sustaining in the NFL...

This is spot on IMO as well. IF we miss out on QB, we just go BPA. Plenty of top talent to get cute with our picks
