kirkwoodus13 Posted November 14, 2019 Author Posted November 14, 2019 Steptide.... have you seen Levi Wallace cover skills. I can assure you the wide receivers looked great. Chris was telling us to be worried because our DB's were not good.

Generally speaking inaccurate college passers don't become accurate passers once they get to the NFL and the throwing windows become smaller because defenders are so much better. hes been more than fine fitting balls in tight windows, he has no touch on long balls, that is where his accuracy has been poop since coming into the league.

People argued relentlessly that he was just a hater and would be proven wrong. Which could also mean that he is just always critical of our QB, whoever it is, and has unfortunately been right so far. That doesn’t automatically make him a good evaluator of talent. 1

I'm a big time Noles fan and watch them all the time. I didn't want EJ to come to Buffalo. He wasn't that good in college: 48 td's to 28 int's. I didn't want Allen either. The 2 guys I wanted (Darnold then Baker) were gone already. It's still early though. I have hope.

It's basically common sense I almost completely disagree. While he's been inaccurate on deep throws, his short to intermediate throws have been accurate, IMO. 1

The takes he has aren't much different than those outside Buffalo, the reason he is critical is because we have terrible personal on & off the field and have never had what he takes to win consistently in today's NFL

Still remember Chris' rant, thought he was bang on. He’s “right” on a guy that has already been traded and is currently a backup to a journeyman? Ok dude...

Excellent point, like Bill Parcels said, a guy that throws 50-55% in college, what makes you think he is going to be over 60% in the NFL.

It’s just easy for people that don’t know much about football to hang onto this theory because the media was saying it predraft. Bottom line is Allen is accurate on the short to mid stuff and the only real problem is the deep ball. I’m tired of hearing about the deep ball as if it’s some kind of high percentage throw to begin with. 3 minutes ago, Gordio said: Excellent point, like Bill Parcels said, a guy that throws 50-55% in college, what makes you think he is going to be over 60% in the NFL.

Yeah we will see where he ends up at the end of the year. That % has been going down from the beginning of the year. I am not an Allen hater at all. I like the kid, but... you could look at posts I made prior to the draft & my big concern with him was accuracy. Even the first drive last game, 3rd down slant to Brown, if he hits him in stride Brown has a got a big gain. He throws it 3 feet behind him. Those are plays he can't miss. There drive killers & game killers. The one miss down the seem to Mckensie was brutal. He seems he 3 or 4 bad misses every game & the Bills offense isn't good enough to overcome this sometimes.

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted November 14, 2019 Posted November 14, 2019 If he can throw very accurately in practice, but misses in the games, that to me is fixable. To me tat means he's panicking and then the mistakes come. As he gains experience, both in games and practice, the throws become second nature and the accuracy improves. Read someplace most of his accuracy issues occur when he moves to his right, again as he gain experience, that may go away.

Brand J Posted November 14, 2019 Posted November 14, 2019 41 minutes ago, BearNorth said: Lamar Jackson was still on the Board until the 32nd pick, so there are a lot of scouting depts looking pretty dumb this year. If we weren’t trading up for Rosen I was a fan of picking Jackson at 23, but then I heard him speak... I (wrongly) allowed his vernacular to correlate to his football IQ and I assume most NFL GMs felt the same. On the surface you had a guy perform at a high level at a division I program, putting up stats his comparable, Vick, could only dream about, but since the NFL is such a cerebral league, I didn’t think he’d have what it took to thrive. It’s still early, but I wish the Bills would’ve kept both 2nd rounders and selected Jackson at 23. Even if he wasn’t the same player on the Bills as he is in Baltimore, I do think he’d be an upgrade to Allen. At some point talent takes over, even in the face of lesser coaching.

Josh Allen leads NFL quarterbacks in this category plus 8 other noteworthy numbers from Week 7 6 of 9 games so far he has went over 60% completion % and is holding a 59.9% avg. so tell me bill, how has he gone over 50-55% then?

I am just telling you what Parcells said Dipsh*t. I have no idea if he is going to be over 60% passer. He wasn't at Wyoming, where he was a 56% passer. I might add 60% is not what it used to be. The upper echelon QBs in the league are throwing for the most part over 65%.
