My favorite Allen play from last week doesn't show up on the stat sheet..The Aaron Rodgers Special


Recommended Posts

There's no need to bash Tyrod for this. I see it time and time again week after week from vet QB's to rookies. There are obviously far fewer opportunities than in the past because they blow most of them dead. 

 

Nice to see that JA has that alterness about himself.

Too many sensitive people around here. It’s a common play QB’s make. Has been forever.

 

It’s not something that anyone refers to as the Aaron Rodgers special.

 

Hence why I said it.

 

So pull up your pants and act like a human.

Since 2007, Rodgers has twelve touchdowns on free plays, no one else has more than 4. It is not nearly as common place as you make it out to be and requires poise and situational awareness that many QBs don’t have. Be happy our guy showed a bit of that

Nothing I said had anything to do with Josh Allen.

 

Utilizing a free play is common practice.

However statistics bear that to be false, with Aaron Rodgers significantly better at causing and then utilizing those plays.. it is not at all common, many QB stop to avoid a potential hit and take the flag

Did Josh Allen throw a TD on the play this thread is about? 

 

Or did he just do something QB’s always do?

 

Cause if he threw a TD, then we can call it an Aaron Rodgers special. Just to make you happy. Seeing as that’s the only stat that you’ve seen to bring up.

 

But he didn’t.

Really appreciate the stats..I was second guessing myself for a minute, because i didn't think it was as common as some people are saying , just from watching a fair amount of games a year I don't see QBs take advantage of a free play and go deep like Allen did and see Rodgers consistently do it. I'm not in no way comparing the two, as i stated , Rodgers was the first guy i thought of when he made the throw and these stats pretty much confirm what my eyes have seen. Regardless of what anyone says, it was very impressive and encouraging to ME .

Correct, it’s the stat that was easiest to find, and it’s reliable because nobody throws curl routes on a free play. It’s a 3 outcome play, TD, incomplete or DPI. I watch a lot of games and it just plain doesn’t happen often, it’s not an easy stat to research however. Also and nobody has mentioned this yet, most free play opportunities are brought about by changing cadence by the QB, an intelligent play. You’re out here lumping every QB together as if there is no skill involved

I’m only lumping QB’s together because it’s practiced and common place for a QB to look deep when a flag is thrown on a free play.

 

Because it is.

I'm not sure why you're even responding to that poster. I'd just ignore them

Dude, I guess he feels it was impressive for a rookie to take advantage of an Offside like that and go deep. It wasn't a TD but we gained a huge amount of yards. And I guess we are watching different games because I don't see QB go deep like that as often as you are making it out to be. I'm not saying QBs don't do it, but I'm saying it's in no way a play that every qb makes on a consistent basis. Again, our previous veteran starter of 3 years never made that type of throw, literally. 

It sounds like you have a biased against Allen. All we are saying is that it was great situational awareness by our rookie qb , and you seem to not like the fact we are showing him some love for this.

It's coached and preached to do so, but we must be watching different games because i just don't see it happen that much.

Apparently not, according to the statistics??????

 

But if you just want to win the argument, I'll call it: You win, now we can all move on. Thank You.
