I'm straining a bit to recollect any completed passes that were in the air for 25 yards+ this year Well his longest Air Yard Completion is 42.5 so it seems he has completed one Just now, Royale with Cheese said: Arbitrary? In the air more than 30 yards...like a fly pattern or deep post....you know the plays to take the top off the defense? We're trying but he's not hitting them. That is NOT the Definition the Definition is a 25 yard pass

So a swing pass to singletary that goes for 30 yards would qualify. Not exactly what we’re talking about here.

I'm struggling to find many other completions that traveled more than 25 yards in the air. The Angry Knox pass was about 15-20 yards

The first few games the Run O was better because foolish D coordinators were worried Allen might use his NFL's strongest arm to push the ball downfield.

I still don't get why we arent seeing more of Foster, there has to be something to that story. I mean put him out there, he can drop the ball just as effectively as Kroft or Knox

Exactly. Fact is we don’t need to agree on a specific definition - we all see the games and know exactly the type of plays we’re talking about here. And Allen has been horrendous week in week out throwing downfield. 1

The Knox throw was an intermediate pass like you say.... What I have been focusing on are the throws to receivers getting behind the defense and on the way to the house. He has missed all of those this season. The throw to Brown in game one was a back shoulder throw, and I'm not sure if it was intentional or not. Regardless, Brown hadn't gotten behind behind the defense. Nice play regardless, of course. Edited October 28, 2019 by dave mcbride 1

"I see ghosts" Darnold's ongoing pick tracker notched another 3, to make 7 over his last 2 games for starters, going along nicely with 8 (not a typo), sacks taken yesterday alone...Mayfield's W-L record is the inverse of Josh's at 2-5, but hey, who's counting? Unless you are willing to call the entire 2018 QB draft class a bust at this point, minus Lamar who's playing lights out right now, then you are unfairly singling out Josh's coming of age roller coaster ride that we're on, and not taking into account all of the other variables in play, together with the aforementioned peer comparison points. We should care about how Allen compares to every starting NFL Quarterback. Not just the ones drafted ahead of him in 2018. Silly. Edited October 28, 2019 by Wayne Arnold

Well, I dunno about the rest of youse, but I'm ready to send the kid packin' after 17 career starts. /s Progress isn't linear. There are ups and downs. Every first round QB from 2018 has had both good and bad outings this season. None of them have arrived, they're all still working to get to where they wanna be. And I thought most people knew that Allen has a lot of freedom to change plays, it's been talked about several times this season. They also sit and go through the plays and ditch anything that he doesn't like or doesn't think will work.

I thought my point was pretty clear. Even if Allen is bad, there will still be people who will argue otherwise (like they did for EJ and Tyrod) and call you a hater. It won’t be until the team moves on that they will finally accept that said QB was in fact not good. 1
Dr.Sack Posted October 28, 2019 Posted October 28, 2019 If the defense continues its downward trajectory against the run Josh will need to turn into Aaron Rodgers to keep us in games.
