ddaryl Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Personally I thought Allen clearly outplayed Mayfield last night. But Clevelands penalties killed themselves mostly or we might of seen more from Mayfield. As for media dont care. Dont watch the news... The truth wil make itself known in good time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem being, they haven’t fired many of the hacks that made BR a joke in the first place. For every TylerDunne, there are 3 sullys. An improvement over the years, yes, still many questionable articles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no requirement to read every piece that comes out under the BR name or any other digital/traditional source for that matter.

Bob in STL Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 Why put any stock in writers when it comes to drafting a QB? 90% of the teams in the league can’t get it right either. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunken Pygmy Goat Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 It was one guy's opinion, and BR for that matter. They're not exactly known for their in depth, accurate reporting or depictions. I rarely watch ESPN anymore, but I was interested to hear what was being said there. They're signing a much different tune, and one guy (Darren Woodson?) even said that with more reps, Allen is going to be a superstar. Of course, that is also just one guy's opinion, but it paints a much different picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly suggest fans start educating themselves on their topic of interest by going to numerous sources, rather than just click a headline, listen to ESPN or click on a boxscore and assume it is a fact. I just want an unbiased opinion on how these guys are doing, I am so tired of media personalities and their inflated egos. They're not talent evaluators, their job is to report facts. Give me the facts and have constructive conversations around sports, athletes and their performance . And hopefully find an article written by someone who does agree with your opinion, so then can say, see this guy does get it. It amazes me how say anything bad about the Bills, he's terrible, knows nothing, but then when someone writes something bad about someone on another team and he's a hero. They're not talent evaluators.... Says a guy who's posts on internet message boards LOL Remember, you and everyone here are fans, short for fanatic! That's the key word, we're all fanatics, nothing more, nothing less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy1 Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 IF Allen starts winning games, as we all hope will happen, I think the media is going to love this guy. QBs who can make great plays are celebrated in the NFL. Allen has the ability to make plays that few others can. His background story just adds to the drama. If this happens, there will be plenty of people jumping on the bandwagon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the key word, we're all fanatics, nothing more, nothing less. I think you're missing the point. All I was doing was comparing how Mayfield's performance last night was painted in a positive light, while a similar performance for Allen last week was shown in a negative light. Don't lump me in here with "everyone else". I don't need anyone to agree with me, I was trying to raise discussion about the portrayal of the players and how fans and media alike react to that. P.S. I do work in talent evaluation LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ever flip from Fox News to CNN to see how a single bit of news is discussed, you see this same thing. Quit that, making sense is against the rules. Lol.

vincec Posted August 18, 2018 Share Posted August 18, 2018 If you watched Allen play in these two games and know anything about football, you can see he obviously has all the tools you need to be a great QB. He just needs to be coached up and developed properly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can let your playing on the field destroy any narrative put out there. I'll definitely have to eat crow if Allen turns into a franchise QB, but all those expert anti Allen prognosticators have to also. You dont have to eat crow, bro. Just sit back and enjoy the show Just now, vincec said: If you watched Allen play in these two games and know anything about football, you can see he obviously has all the tools you need to be a great QB.
