His awful accuracy cancels out strength, size and that pretty 37 wonderlic.....I can't comment on his character but I'm sure he wishes those tweets didn't get out. We'll see? ? ^^Thinks completion percentage is an accurate measurement of throwing accuracy^^ 1

I get why we didnt keep him, made sense to move on when he couldn't stay on the field. But hoping we bring someone with some jets to just unleash down field for this kids arm. Two players that I really didn't want to see leave were Goodwin and Woods. We would have a good WR core with them here right now. 1

It does and, while it was my understanding there would be no math, I do believe .0004 of the world population would still be over 3 million people. Running for your life toward the sideline, throwing against your body, both feet off the ground at the point of release, over fifty yards in the air, and accurate. I'm thinking eball might be right...

Fix that he's more accurate.
Roundybout Posted May 4, 2018 Posted May 4, 2018 Some of those throws are just not human. We might have something here if he can get that footwork down pat.
That_Guy Posted May 4, 2018 Posted May 4, 2018 no doubt the guy's got a rocket launcher for an arm. but it looked like a lot of those were to wide open targets from blown defense, or just poor defense in general. not sure the NFL will be so accommodating. 1
LeGOATski Posted May 4, 2018 Posted May 4, 2018 29 minutes ago, Hebert19 said: Footwork. Fix that he's more accurate. Unfortunately, it's not that simple. He's just inconsistent not matter what the circumstances are. This was clearly demonstrated in the offseason practices as he completely missed a target net from 10 yards away, but then nailed the goal post in one shot from 35 yards away. I think we just have to accept that this is the nature of the beast. We're gonna see amazing one-in-375 million throws, but also amazingly bad throws. He might lead the league in TDs and INTs at the same time.

If they don't then Allen will burn them. This. I have noticed that if you can give him 3 seconds in the pocket, he could pick you apart. In this and other films he appears to bail on the pocket too quick, but hey what do I know. I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

In this and other films he appears to bail on the pocket too quick, but hey what do I know. I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. That's one of the biggest weaknesses I've noticed so far (I've watched 18 of his 25 games so far) - he tends to leaves the pocket too soon. Although not always, so he shows that he's capable of buying time in the pocket and making progressions. Just needs to do that more consistently. Can David Culley and Brian Daboll teach this kid to be a technician? To consistently manage a game? That's the biggest question. 2
Magox Posted May 4, 2018 Posted May 4, 2018 There is a lot to like here. First off, there are about 10 TD throws he made that no other player in this draft class could make. Secondly, the guy doesn't just throw fast balls, there were lots of nice lofted touch passes in there. He does tend to leave the pocket early and I think that is a symptom of having such an awful line, so he will have to clean that up some. I just think he's going to end up being a really good QB in this league.
Luxy312 Posted May 4, 2018 Posted May 4, 2018 My observations for what they're worth: 1 - Effortless 40 yard bullets on the run. Forget all the combine tests, this kid's arm strength outclasses all the others. 2 - Not a whole lot of YAC for his receivers. Most of these TD's were thrown, not short passes where the receiver made the play. 3 - His offensive line was awful. On most of those passes, he was flushed from the pocket in 2 seconds. 4 - Related, he can scramble. Looks a lot more athletic as a runner than his numbers would suggest. Overall, I see why the Bills traded up for him. 1

HiddenInLight Posted May 4, 2018 Posted May 4, 2018 He looks good. It seems like he was able to make some plays without a grate group of guys to catch the ball. That being said, when Charles Clay is healthy, that is going to be a lethal target for him. Additionally, I think he is going to love Benjamin in the end zone. If we could get ourselves a burner to play outside, across from Benjamin, we'll have a pretty decent receiver corps when healthy.

FLFan Posted May 4, 2018 Posted May 4, 2018 Very impressive, and its easy to see what the Bills saw in him. I have seen the lowlight reels too, so I am not blind to his flaws, but man, when he is on he is impressive. Optimistic.

No one has worse unis than Maryland. That said, these guys look like a bunch of overripe bananas.
