Baker is stuck with Kitchens who couldn't scheme up anything outside of dinner. If Darnold were playing here, or even Baker for that matter, both their stats would be way higher. The fact that both were thrust into two different systems in two years with two ***** coaches and still perform better than Allen should speak volumes. I can guarantee neither one of them are coached up or prepared as well as Allen week to week year to year. So when Darnold throws dumb picks it’s on Gase but when Allen cuts his int’s way down it’s because of Daboll? You’re being silly at this point. 2 4

End of story No. Your opinion that Darnold and Mayfield have issues at times is all coaching, but that Allen's are all Allen’s, is silly. It is silly to state that. And it reveals an agenda which you have made clear time and time again: you don’t want Allen as QB and will post anything negative you can about him.’ We get your schtick. It’s tiresome. Allen like the other two is a second year guy with things to learn and improvements to make. Simple for those of us without an agenda. 8

During that span here are some of the defenses he has played against: The #1 defense The #4 defense The #5 defense The #9 defense The #10 defense The #11 defense (stats as of week 16) That's pretty incredible ball security for an "inaccurate" guy. Last 11 games played by both Josh has 17 TD passes and 4 INTs while Patrick Mahomes has 18 TD passes and 4 INTs And in same 11 games Josh has 6 Rushing TDs and 2 lost fumbles. Patrick has 2 Rushing TDs and 1 lost fumble. Pretty interesting. 5

That he has rushed for a bunch of touchdowns doesn’t speak to accuracy. it’s a fair topic but the OP stacked the deck a little Funny how no one dings Jackson for using his legs, but Allen does, and it's a sign of poor accuracy. Wonder why that is? 3

It’s tiresome. Allen like the other two is a second year guy with things to learn and improvements to make. Simple for those of us without an agenda. If my opinions are tiresome don't read them, don't respond to them. Im a fan of this team and I post my thoughts about this team on this message board. There are quite a few others who feel the same way I do. It's not a crime to continuously post how great Allen is, to make excuses about his performances by blaming Wrs, O coordinators, O lines, the wind, the rain, the winter solstice, or any other excuses people want to make for him. Nope, no crime at all. Post away. Take a glimpse of how many Allen is great threads there are. The second a fan of the same team says wait a minute, Im not going to make those claims, im going to call it how I see it, they all of a sudden have an agenda, they're called names, they are silenced and they are harassed. Ive been on these boards for 8 years. Mostly reading opinions. Never cared to post because of the flaming people got for not going with the status quo. If you don't like my content nor agree with it, and its so tiresome to you, ignore it, like an adult. You can continue to throw out claims that Allen is improving over and over, yet offer no explanation as to why we are ranked 28th in passing or why his completion percentage is sub 60% on the year with a vastly improved offense around him. You refuse to see anything wrong with his game and continue to blame all the things he can't control as I already mentioned. You compare him to others in his draft class on losing teams, with terrible coaches, but ironically have better completion percentages and are generally more consistent. Pray tell, what does Allen look like on a Jets team right now??? Or a Cleveland team? What would his stat line be??? Its homerism. Plain and simple. The reality of this season is the roster is talented enough to win and the defense and great coaching have taken this team to the playoffs. I pray to the football gods Barkley starts this week against the Jets so fans get a glimpse of what a consistent accurate Qb on this team would look like. It would be a complete force to reckon with. 2 minutes ago, Joe in Winslow said: So let me summarize, you enter another thread, take a crap in the punchbowl, get called out for it and now call for mod intervention?

And this proves my point. I have said in this very thread that Allen has improvements to make. Just a few posts above this one. But you say I refuse to see anything wrong about him. Thanks for once again showing your agenda. Oh, and the reasons why our passing game is where it is, completion percentage? Partly because of play calls, partly because of drops, partly because we have a solid running game, partly because Allen is figuring it out still especially reading defenses. And partly because he misses some throws on occasion. Stick that in your pipe and smoke it the next time you want to claim no one who likes the kid ever criticized him.

BananaB Posted December 24, 2019 Posted December 24, 2019 He’s made some big improvements even if the haters don’t want to acknowledge it. He’s missed on a lot of big plays over that time as well, hopefully he cleans that up in the off-season. Skys the limit. 1

I'm the Allen fan & thinkl he's been stunted & badly coached in a lot of ways.... I blame the coaching.... I also blame lack of reps and way too conservative an offense. BTW where does the Offense rank? In the bottom quarter.

He's really protected the ball better in the passing game. But he's fumbled nine times since then. Whether or not those fumbles were lost is really just a matter of luck. Fumbling nine times in ten games is just plain not good. On the other hand, he's lost none in the last two games. Is that luck or a trend? We can hope it's a trend. 1
NoSaint Posted December 24, 2019 Posted December 24, 2019 7 hours ago, CincyBillsFan said: Either Jackson is a difference maker in what defines QB production or he isn't. A QB's rushing output - yards/TD's/1st downs - must be added to the passing stats when measuring overall production. At the same time lost fumbles should be included with INT's. By this measure Allen is a top 10 QB with 29 total TD's and only 13 total TO's. IMO this IS the key QB metric. Oh and Allen's 29 TD's puts him at 2nd place in Bills history for total TD's in a season - behind only Jim Kelly's 34 TD's in 1991. count rushing stats all you want. to say josh Allen is an accurate passer due to his TD to Int ratio and count rushing tds is not terribly accurate unless you are making some back door argument that his runs are super accurate passes. In which case you should just say that. 1 hour ago, Joe in Winslow said: Funny how no one dings Jackson for using his legs, but Allen does, and it's a sign of poor accuracy. Wonder why that is? jackson fights being called a running back and I didn’t say his rushing means he’s inaccurate. I said you can’t sneakily roll in his rushing stats to use numbers to prove he is accurate. I think that should stand on his passing stats, for better or worse. Or at least say you are using his rushes as “completed passes” directly.
Thurman#1 Posted December 24, 2019 Posted December 24, 2019 6 hours ago, Big Blitz said: We are at the bottom of the league in targets to RBs. You want a stat to illustrate why his completion percentage isn't around say 63-65? Here you go: https://www.fantasypros.com/nfl/reports/targets-distribution/rb.php Oh and as a bonus.....guess what other position we're at the bottom of the league in targeting? The good ol TE safety net. Don't have one of those right now either. Knox will get there - I'm looking at him to be Kittle lite next season. A top 10 TE. Are you misreading your own stats? We're not at the bottom of the league targeting RBs. Your own link there has a bunch of other teams with lower RB targets, Seattle, the Rams, the Titans, the Ravens and the Texans. More, we simply throw fewer passes than most teams, we're 27th in the league in attempts. So of course we're likely to throw less passes to RBs than most. Probably less passes to WRs as well ... we just throw less passes. Look at the Cowboys, who've thrown 67 to Zeke alone. We've only thrown 73 passes to backs, while the Cowboys have thrown 87. But we've only thrown 473 passes, while the Cowboys have thrown 564 passes, meaning they throw 15.4% of their passes to backs while we also throw 15.4%. Go out an extra decimal place and you find we throw more to backs than they do. Some teams tend to have the RBs block more on pass plays, and we're one of them. That's not a bad thing for the QB, having an extra blocker as a last reserve. Most of the reason Josh's % is low is that he airmails a few inaccurate passes a game. That's not the only factor, of course, but it is the main one.
