Some Info to Worry Less About Josh Allen's Inaccuracy

[greeneblitz]

Just look at Andrew Lucks NFL numbers, he proves the point more than any other, he's a awesome player with almost no help around him, under constant pressure with little weapons and his completion percentage was way low compared to college where he had tons of talent around him, that's Josh Allen in college in a nutshell, pocket often collapsed, no NFL level receivers catching the ball.

Answer his question

 

Are you guys being purposely obtuse? Yes completion pct is calculated the same. But 1980's football is a completely different sport to 2018. You're probably one of the jokers who think Bob Cousy would match up well with Russell Westbrook.

That's a terrible analogy.  The players on both sides of the ball:

 

Then:

Average height 6'2"

Average weight 220

Average speed 4.6

 

Now:

Average height 6'4"

Average weight 240

Average speed 4.5

Your reading comprehension needs improvement.

This man is so dense light bends around him

 Of course! The eventual insult when somebody runs out of ammunition in terms of logical argument. OK, genius, tell all of us here how the importance of completion percentage is different now than it was when Kelly was our quarterback. Spell it out. Defend yourself on this point. Consider it a dare!!!

Couple things..

 

Comparing college stats from 30 years ago is hilare. 

 

And I see a guy in Kelly who improved each year. Something Allen didn’t do..

 

Some popular excuses why.  I don’t believe these but here’s what’s been put out there:

 

- he was playing in the “winter” elements

- he lost all of his talent to the NFL

- the talent last year wasn’t good

- Wyoming was a run first offense and threw a lot of low percentage deep passes

- not a lot of high percentage passes in his offense

 

Did I miss any?

It’s directly relevant.  The Anti-Allen gang contends that (1) Sub-60% completion in college equals NFL failure, and (2) QBs with poor “accuracy” (as measured by completion percentage, apparently) can never improve. The Kelly and Favre college stats seem to directly contradict both points.  The burden on is on you to show why those stats don’t mean anything.   Just saying “they’re old” doesn’t cut it.

Don’t forget Dan Marino 56%

Wyoming's rushing game was putrid.  3.2 ypc!  Allen WAS their offense.

 

RUSHING
Yards Gained	1733
Yards Lost	319
Attempts	446
Average Per Attempt	3.2
Avg. Per Game	108.8
Touchdowns	13
Total	1414
