Nothing the OP said was wrong nor worth a lame critique. I thought he had a lot of points correct. For example, Beasley did have a slightly better year in 2016 than 2019, albeit in 16 games vs 15. Then there are counterpoints: that was felt to be his prime and the reason the Cowboys let him go was that they felt he had slipped off. Brown did have almost as good a year in 2015 (his second season), but that year Larry Fitzgerald in his prime was drawing the best coverage. The counterpoint question with Brown was, if he's the focus of coverage attention can he do as well? Answer: yes, and Allen helped him do it. and also, where has he been in the 3 years since 2015? 1

When even the GM comes out and says "I should have done more" as he did about 2018, the talent dearth might be real Quote You do realize that being a fan doesn’t mean you have to believe every player on the roster is a budding all pro, or an absolute beast, or whatever superlatives you care to use.

BigBillsFan Posted February 28, 2020 Posted February 28, 2020 (edited) We're on a board where people commonly insult each other for bad grammar, misspelling, and sexual innuendo and now me joking about Godzilla is a bridge too far. Really? Goosfraba! A veteran athlete in the NFL isn't a bum, and outside of 20-50 players in the entire world better than him at his position any starter is fairly competent unless the coach puts in young players he wants to excel in the hopes they can be better than the vets who might be better today for salary cap reasons or potential. Maybe the silly joke about Godzilla was to give perspective that the sky ain't falling and our talent isn't that bad on offense. Maybe a Tannehill can change the 28th offense to the 4th best. Sometimes 1 player makes a huge difference, sometimes it doesn't without the right coaching. It's a complex sport. Cole Beasley is a fantastic athlete, the same with John Brown, Gore played fantastic to start the season, and Singletary is a great athlete and player. When people say Josh carried the team, or he had no weapons, or there is a dearth of talent I'm sorry but that's not a serious argument. 2018 season? Sure, but not 2019. If it takes putting down legit vets and athletes to feel better about the QB than you've lost perspective. Edited February 28, 2020 by BigBillsFan 1

Hey now I called Beasley and brown shiny new toys but honestly brown is a weak number 1 he is not open when he's not open he's no aj green or amari or Jones he's a level below that. So I'd say we have yet to see Josh's ceiling or even close to it when it comes to being a passer. Look at what other top QBs are working with, ***** mahomes has about 3 number 1 quality people who catch the ball between hill, mecole, and Watkins and then there's kelce.....I know I know mahomes is better but he's just unreal ...I'd like to see what Allen could do with that much surrounding talent and ref help 1

Really? Goosfraba! If it was a “bridge too far”, it would be gone. Do you really want to contend your comment about “Another Josh The Victim Allen” didn’t represent exaggeration to the point of parody? 1 hour ago, BigBillsFan said: Maybe the silly joke about Godzilla was to give perspective that the sky ain't falling and our talent isn't that bad on offense. Because when I want to make a point that the talent isn’t bad on offense, I always make a comment that anyone criticizing it is “Another QB the Victim” thread. Nah, don’t think “perspective” was your goal here. The talent is not “that bad” on offense. But it’s not “that good” either. Our OL improved from abysmal in 2018 to “overall decent”. Our WR and TE likewise. Our RB were able to run. 1 hour ago, BigBillsFan said: Maybe a Tannehill can change the 28th offense to the 4th best. Sometimes 1 player makes a huge difference, sometimes it doesn't without the right coaching. It's a complex sport. I would need context for what is referenced being the 28th offense or the 4th. Tennessee finished the season 10th for points and 12th for yards on offense and #3 for rushing yards, so one might wish to contemplate that the Tennessee improvement on offense didn’t represent a change from Mariota to Tannehill alone. 1 hour ago, BigBillsFan said: Cole Beasley is a fantastic athlete, the same with John Brown, Gore played fantastic to start the season, and Singletary is a great athlete and player. When people say Josh carried the team, or he had no weapons, or there is a dearth of talent I'm sorry but that's not a serious argument. 2018 season? Sure, but not 2019. All NFL players are fantastic athletes. Brown and Beasley are legit, very good quality NFL WR but they were able to be taken away by physical coverage and in Beasley’s case bracketing. At times they were open and Allen did not throw to them. Gore tailed off mid to late season and while Singletary shows great promise as a young RB, for whatever reason we kept putting Gore out there. Knox showed great potential along with frustrating lapses. Where has that been said in this thread? Maybe I missed it, but you seem to be setting up some straw and then fervently attacking it. 1 hour ago, BigBillsFan said: If it takes putting down legit vets and athletes to feel better about the QB than you've lost perspective.

You can say what you want, but Kong is a 1000-1 underdog against Godzilla. But it has to be written into the movie that Kong has to at least be majorly competitive and try to make it believable in the process. No easy task. 1
