Malazan Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 Why do people even post these? Is it really worth getting the "cool" points?
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 I think I see the authors point. Allen is worse than he looked. Because He looked like Tom Brady firing darts, moving chains, hitting the short open stuff perfectly on time and in rhythm over the middle and outside. But He’s not shown he’s a sure fire first ballot hall of famer just yet. And Kyler looked inept, over his head and like he has no business being on an nfl feild ever, but he might be a solid back up someday. So he almost has to be better than he looked. the only part that’s a miss is contrasting the two. I’m not sure that part added up.

Seoulofstone Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 Terrible article. I need more media analysis like this:
Protocal69 Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) I got into a YouTube argument ( yes I have those ) with this guy over the same things that this guy says in this article and it’s SO ridiculous. Last year Allen completion was at 52% in large part because of his shots downfield and his inaccuracy in the short game and people said he couldn’t hit the side of a barn. Now Allen comes back this year after working on reading defenses better and taking the short stuff more and now after 2 preseason games his completion percentage is at 68 percent so far and now people ( his haters) is saying it’s only because of dink and dunk. Never mind he is throwing with more anticipation and hitting the medium areas of the field better. I’m not saying this offense is going to be breaking records but after watching these 2 preseason games especially the 2nd on I swear Beasley was looking like a mini Edelman out there.

ghostwriter Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 I actually think Rosen will have the better career. I strongly felt Arizona should have traded down. Murray will be in the CFL in 4 years.
LABILLBACKER Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 Does this Anderson moron work for PFF? I'll take the athletic 6-5 guy over Tyrion Lannister. 1
CincyBillsFan Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 Why even compare Allen to Murray? One is a rookie and the other is a 2nd year guy. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to compare Murray to a fellow 2019 draftee like the Giant's David Jones? I mean Jones has had two solid exhibition games and Murray has had a good & bad game. I've never seen anything like the hatred spewed at Allen. I get that the analytics guys don't like his "accuracy" numbers but why do so many of these writers seem to make it personal? This is more then writers thinking Allen will be a bust. This comes across as sports writers taking personal offense at the idea that Allen might actually be good. It's just plain weird. It seems like there's an agenda here and I don't get it. Someone needs to tell these guys that it's possible a bunch of these young QB's are going to shine in the NFL over the next decade. This is NOT a zero sum game. Anyone who has watched football knows this.
colin Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 the one thing that i see as interesting out of all of this is the comment about allen doing easier stuff out of shotgun. for the longest time the rule in the NFL is you need to play under center to be a real QB and have success, but more and more (pats especially) you see good offenses just opt for easy mode; spacing out the D, simple pre snap reads, shotgun looks, quick passes, basically playing advantage all the time. dabo has some pats roots, so it makes sense he likes this idea of O, but it is kinda shocking that more teams don't make the game easier for their players like the pats always seem to do.

It would have been fine if there was a Luck type prospect but Murrary isn't even close to that and he barely committed to football at the last minute. Arizona is the most mismanaged team in the league. There are 4 teams I feel have zero chance of playoffs this year - Cardinals, Bengals, Dolphins, and Redskins.

I follow a lot of them and they can have good points but they get stuck in their opinions forever. They are convinced that they know better than the NFL. On one hand I get it, NFL teams do make incredibly dumb decisions all the time. But no one really knows what QBs will turn out good. I don't know anyone that thought Daniel Jones was a good pick but so far he's looking good, albeit against backups in preseason games but still. I've come around to the thinking that what an NFL team can learn about the person they're drafting is a lot more valuable than any set of statistics. Can analytics factor in Allen's work ethic? His drive? His football intelligence? His relative lack of experience? Can analytics predict how a QB will develop? 2

Murray was far far from a sure thing. Could have traded #1 for a boat load of draft picks and rebuilt the entire roster. No faith in Arizona’s FO or coaching staff neither, bad situation for Murray to be in and it doesn’t help that the guy is the size of an Oompa Loompa.

mjt328 Posted August 20, 2019 Posted August 20, 2019 Said it before. The Internet has changed the way people debate, and not necessarily in a good way. Everyone thinks they are an expert at everything. And very few are willing to admit when they are wrong about something. Most people will double-down, and refuse to budge regardless of the evidence. Josh Allen has always been a PERFECT example of how the general public (a.k.a. the fans) differs from the NFL professionals, when it comes to scouting a college prospect. Fans usually HATE when their teams draft players based on physical potential. They want their GM to take the guys who put up the big stats and had lots of college success. They want guys like Baker Mayfield, Johnny Manziel and Tim Tebow. But NFL scouts are paid to see past the NCAA results, and try to forecast how good a guy CAN be. By most accounts, Allen was absolutely loved by most NFL scouts. He had all of the physical, athletic and mental traits desired in an NFL quarterback. The only reason he lasted as long as he did, was because 2018 was an exceptionally strong QB draft. Up until the flood of Draft Websites and YouTube channels, the average fan could scream how STUPID his team was for not drafting Manziel.... but never had to own up to it when that guy turned out to be a bust. Now all of the Internet "experts" are learning how difficult scouting really is, and they can't hide all of their old opinions. But instead of admitting "Maybe the Bills actually did draft the right Josh"... they choose to criticize EVERY inaccurate pass, and downplay any success Allen has. It's actually kinda sad and pathetic. 4
