I have lost all respect for them this year Expand They should say he’s averaging just over 200 yards/game.
SCBills Posted December 24, 2019 Posted December 24, 2019 I don’t really know many Bills fans who would rather have Baker or Sam... I know, read, hear a lot of Browns and Jets fans who would rather have Allen. That’s really all that matters. Not some analytic site that determined Duck Hodges was the best QB in the Steelers/Bills game.

Roman’s offense was the only thing keeping the team’s head above water. Maybe Rex was jealous/threatened.

Expand Fixed it for ya. PFF uses stats for part of what they do, then they get into subjective grey matter that is complete and utter bullshite and is full of their opinion.

JOSH ALLEN Unlike some others on this list, Allen has seen his arrow point decidedly upward from year one to year two, and he's deservedly moved up our rankings over the past two seasons. His underneath and intermediate accuracy has seen a considerable bump year on year. Only 7.9% of his passes that were targeted 1-19 yards downfield were charted as perfectly placed last season, but this year, that number is 20.4% — higher than anyone else in the 2018 quarterback class. His accuracy, combined with his playmaking ability with his legs, has been a massive value-add to the Bills' offense — especially in the red zone. The worrisome thing is that Allen has still never been able to truly open up the offense as a passer. In 26 career starts, he’s never had a single 300-yard passing game. A big reason why is the lack of big plays, as his deep-ball accuracy has been all over the place this season. Despite his improved play, Allen has fewer big-time throws this year (13) than he did even a year ago (17), and the former ranks 26th among all quarterbacks in the NFL this year. He’s only completed 26.9% of his targets 20-plus yards downfield — the fourth-worst in the NFL — and that’s the opposite of what you’d expect for a player with that kind of arm strength. Expand PFF employees on the way to work.

CorkScrewHill Posted December 24, 2019 Posted December 24, 2019 (edited) On 12/24/2019 at 5:43 PM, Kirby Jackson said: I think this is fair. The problem is that you are drafting guys on what they will/can be not what they are today. That’s why Josh went in the top 10. 2 years in there is no reason to believe that the future of Baker or Darnold is brighter than that of Josh. Talent evaluators would absolutely roll the dice on the upside of Josh at this point before more established players. Expand I think the best way to look at this is would a QB needy team willingly give up a top 5 pick in the draft for these QBs. Lamar - yes, Josh Allen - yes, Darnold probably, Baker - someone might but his lack of maturity two years in would give pause ... Rosen and Rudolph ... maybe a 4th or a 5th rounder.

JoPoy88 Posted December 24, 2019 Posted December 24, 2019 Disagree with their placement - Allen would the 2nd 2018 QB in my mind, not 4th (or 3rd if you still have faith in Mayfield I suppose.) But I do think their evaluation in the OP’s post is fair enough. Credit is given (as it should be) to Allen’s underneath and intermediate accuracy. The problem remains his accuracy on long passes.
