So the bet is what that Allen will have a completion % above 60 in his first 12 games? ....he actually did that last year chop off the last 4 games and he's sitting at 61.48%
JaCrispy Posted May 17, 2020 Posted May 17, 2020 1 hour ago, Dr. Who said: I think you have to take into account that generally McDermott/Daboll call a conservative game. If we got a lead, they'd turtle and count on the D. We'll see what happens this year. Hopefully there is a season so we can find out. Completely agree, McD holds Allen back...

Fact remains that Allen was ranked in the bottom 3rd in most of the commonly used passing stats. If you want to blame his receivers for that then it probably wouldn’t be the craziest argument to make. But it’s been stated many times now that Allen has a good supporting cast so this year should be a true measure of what he’s capable of. If we get more of the same then I think it’s time we are open to the possibility that he may not be what we hope he is. You know what’s better than always having to come from behind? Scoring enough points early on so you don’t have to. 18th in TD% next

Iirc it was in the same comment. I said he was bottom 3rd in MOST of the commonly used passing stats. Even so, you citing one stat in which he is 18th isn’t really a strong argument. In fact, it’s almost as if you are arguing just for the sake of it.

Scoring enough points early on so you don’t have to. Allen has a fire in his belly and tends to play great when he has to which is excellent. I’d just prefer us not take games down to the wire so often. Much better on my heart when you build a lead early and can watch our defense pin their ears back the rest of the way. 1 minute ago, Bangarang said: I said he was bottom 3rd in MOST of the commonly used passing stats.

Allen would literally have to get no better and somehow the wr’s would have to drop as many balls as last year.... and now they have diggs. how he thinks that’s a smart bet, I have no clue. Ill lay it out for you nice and simple. What im going to tell you isn't hypothetical, it's factual. 1. Allen has never completed 60% or higher at any point in his college career, nor 2 years now as a professional. 2. He's completed sub 50% (mid to low 40s) completion in 3 games this past season. Every game was a loss, every opponent finished the season with a winning record. His average attempts per game, was 34. (take a look at our schedule, we need big numbers and points to win this year) 3. With the exception of the Titans, every game Allen completed 60% or greater was against teams without a winning record. 4. Drops...Out of every team with 20 or more drops this season, Allen is the only Qb with sub 60% completion. 8 teams had 20+ drops. 5. Advanced metrics... Sports Info Solutions, which has risen to be one of the best most trusted analytical outfits in pro football, has Allen ranked as one of the worst Qbs in the NFL from a clean pocket, as well as on target throws.. (leading receivers with ball placement for YAC) These stats according to them, are the two most important metrics which determine long term franchise Qb performance. No franchise Qbs in the last 10 years have posted the poor numbers Allen has in those key metrics, in their first two years. NONE. The most similar comparison to Allens numbers, is Mitch Trubisky. 6. Allen has yet to do something as common and frequent as any other franchise Qb in the NFL.... pass for 300 yards in an NFL game. 2 years in the NFL as a starter, and he has yet to do something routine from NFL Qbs. Adding Diggs looks beautiful on paper, and to be honest takes away all excuses. But ill let you in on a secret...Our Wrs were running wide open all over the place last year and if you can't connect with them, it doesn't matter who that reciever is. I placed a bet on FACTS and DATA, not on unproven hopes, theoretics, and emotions. 2

Bro, you’re gonna lose your $100 and the reason it’s gonna be funny is because you write up huge novels like this on how it’s easy money.

So you think its acceptable that your franchise Qb averages 48% completion across 3 games, weeks 13, 14,15? You think playing good teams is an excuse for that kind of number? Buckle up my friend, because this years schedule is week after week of that.

Our defense is one of the best in the NFL. Lamar put up 3tds and 64% completion. Duck Hodges as an undrafted rookie put up 61% completion. Brady put up 79% completion on us. They all faced a top 3 defense in the NFL. I dont see them combining for 48%.
