McDermott is right not to compare and I think most people know that Josh is not really like Tyrod and with Tyrod you knew quite early (or at least some of us did) that you were at the ceiling. That is not the case with Josh. 

 

Having said that I can see why Jerry asked that with those stats going around and with the way Josh played last weekend which had a lot of Tyrod traits to it.

Imagine how embarrassing your journalism career must be that you need to ask a stupid, useless question that you promote on social media just to get people to talk about how embarrassing your journalism career is.

Your takes on Allen are proven unreliable.

No they are not. He did not play well on Sunday. When I said it after the game you all jumped on me and countless people have come out and said it since. I didn't say bench him, or move on, or he is done. I said he played poorly on Sunday and he needs to play better.

It's a fair question but also kind of ignores so many of the nuances.      The stats may be the same, the wins and other results may be the same, but would you rather pay a veteran a 30.5 Million dollar contract for two years at the ages of 29 and 30, when you already know the veteran is only average to below average.  Or do you want to pay a younger player 21 Million dollars for four years from the ages of 22-25, when the younger player is already at the level of the veteran and may be able to grow.

 

Bottom line is after the playoff game in Jacksonville where some of the worst quarterbacking I've ever seen in the league took place you couldnt keep Tyrod.   Keeping him, and bringing in a rookie would have been bad for the locker room which was incredibly loyal to Tyrod.  They needed a fresh start, and I am glad they have it.

seems a step more dignified than almost all media journalism

The simple truth that people like Sullivan are too stupid to understand is that if this game was just about stats, Antonio Brown would be playing on a team right now and Andy Dalton wouldn't be on the bench.

 

But thinkin's hard for some people.

Perfectly fair. I thought he made some nice plays but he didn’t have a good game. What some can’t understand is that he is going to have good games and bad games. Each game is not a referendum on his career. His career is not on the line with each one. He’s a young QB who was raw coming in and is still learning. Which is not what Tyrod was. Stats only tell part of the story. Though it makes an intriguing question for the media.  Allen will have until the end of next year at least before a reasonable conclusion is drawn.

I think it's a fair question since at this point in his career anyway, Allen isn't a improvement.  But as someone mentioned above, more appropriate for an interview or as a topic for one of his "articles", not a in-season press conference. Probably just trying to get people talking about him again ... and it has worked here at least.

Unreliable. Much like the other takes on Allen recently.  

 

What was the criticism of Allen in the offseason? Needs to up his completion % and clean up the short/underneath stuff. Worked on it in the offseason and did it. 

 

Then through first 4 games it was: stop throwing INTs. Worked on it. Done. 

 

Now it's 'he can't hit a deep ball'...all you want to do is complain about what isn't working without looking at what is. It's beyond repetitive, it's just lazy at this point.

Tyrod was overall a competent NFL qb.  He was flawed but overall led the Bill's to its first playoff appearance in 20 years.  Difference is Allen is in year 2 Taylor was year 8.  Allen has improved nicely from the draft to now.  I think Allen still has loads of potential and pegging Allen as a game manager is an attempt as an insult.
