GreggTX Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 Don't bother reading the rookie grades report on Buffalo in this series. He doesn't even mention Wallace, who graded out higher than any rookie on our roster. Clearly the author (Nick Shook) didn't do his homework. 2

whatdrought Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 On Darnold: Quote The Jets are thrilled by the potential of Darnold, who looks like he might be able to develop into the franchise quarterback the team has sorely needed. On Allen: Quote Allen's evaluation depends on who you talk to: He's better than anyone else Buffalo had at the position after trading away Tyrod Taylor, but his passing at multiple depths of the field needs work. His big arm created some highlight completions, and his running ability was the talk of the town, but he's yet to prove he'll be "the guy" in Buffalo. He has the tools to improve, though. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001017446/article/afc-east-rookie-grades-sam-darnold-gives-jets-reason-to-hope complete bs. Also, as per the OP's point, he references Jackson, the Pats UDFA CB, but not Wallace. 1 1

cage Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 Absolutely absurd write-up. Correct, no mention of Levi Wallace. Where 3 Bills rookies (Allen, Foster, Wallace) would have been 1st round selection in the "redraft" article they published just last week. And I'm so sick of the accuracy topic on Allen. The same redraft had him picked at #3 instead of #7, so that's higher, right? Has to be an 'A', lazy journalism. 2
JoshAllenHasBigHands Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 I don't get too worked up over this stuff. Its hard to track every player in the league, much less a below 500 team's undrafted rookies, even if they provided significant contributions. 1

ndirish1978 Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 It's lazy journalism and there really isn't an excuse for it. There are 32 teams in this league, if you're going to cover the NFL, you should have a working knowledge of all 32 teams beyond talking points and retweets. Bottom line is that was passes for journalism works in circles these days: 1- Uninformed person #1 writes a poor story; 2- "Insiders" retweet person #1's story; 3- A narrative is established. 1 1

I think Allen will turn out to be a very good QB as well, but right now , Darnold is ahead, but not by much. 1
