If that's the case he should gain half letter grades for something amazing. He had a few amazing throws in every game. You also have to realize that Josh is carrying this team. The defense is Swiss cheese. This puts far more pressure on a QB to perform. Every QB makes mistakes every game. By your standards no one gets an A pretty much ever. An A is a perfect score. Has he had a perfect game yet? I don't understand people's grades.

So then he got a B in your mind? If you did do plus and minus... An A+ is perfect but one mistake is an A-? Guess I dont understand your grading system. In your system no quarterback would get an A.

When you make a poor mental decision that takes possible points off the board then yeah. He did it 3 times in the Jets game. You shouldn't get an A.
Matt_In_NH Posted October 5, 2020 Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) I would only really ding him on a couple plays, maybe only one.....the 14 yard sack was awful. the play he got injured on I also dont like....dont like him killing himself to make improbable positive outcomes, we need him to stay healthy. I know I am in the minority on this but taking on tacklers for a couple yards, exposing himself to fumbles and injuries should be minimized some. A- Edited October 5, 2020 by mattynh

In your world Noone would get an A. A missed question is more like a routine incomplete pass. You get 8-10 drives per game. So grade by drives instead of plays. A mistake that directly takes points off the board should be a full letter grade drop. Yesterday they had 8 possessions subtracting end of the 1st half and the end of the game. If Josh Allen was perfect on 7/8 drives then what is his % grade? 8 minutes ago, teef said: you gave him a C in the first game this year, didn't you?

Yes. 3 plays that directly took points off the board. I don't understand your definition here? Is it perfect to go three and out? So hes losing points for getting us into field goal range and then getting us knocked out? I agree it was a bad play but he had numerous good plays that should more than overcome them on your grade scale. I think he plays above the scheme on many of those drives and is the reason were getting points. @Cover 1 what do you think the grade should be? 😂😂 For those not checking out the Cover 1 Allen breakdowns I suggest you go look. I would say even start with the breakdowns from 2018 and watch some before this years breakdowns. The throw last week against the Rams to Beasley (down the QB right sideline for almost a TD) was a such a thing of beauty. Great accuracy and he threw with anticipation!!!! Allen is balling out. Quit this noise and enjoy the fun ride.

I think Josh Allen has been basically perfect this season other than a few drive killing plays.

I guess I'm saying hes been beyond perfect because of some drive SAVING plays that only he makes (Beasley TD on 3rd down). Bills were 7/13 on 3rd down and I think 4 of those failed conversions were singeltary runs (other 2 were 3rd and forever drop and the play he got injured), 7/9 on third down isnt merely doing your job thats doing very well. I'm not sure how these type of plays work out in your grading (grading is sorta silly imo but I come here for the discussion) https://sports.yahoo.com/video/josh-allens-most-impressive-throws-000400509.html

It’s time for us to stop wondering if Josh will ever be a top-notch passer and start enjoying it. He’s there, and the scary part is he will probably get even better. I told my Dad last night, not only are we probably watching the best passer that will ever play in Buffalo(note: He has a lot of work to put in still to catch Kelly), but he may well be the best ever one day. Just hoping he stays healthy and has a long enough career. Go Bills! 1 hour ago, Scott7975 said: So then he got a B in your mind? If you did do plus and minus...

Ive had those teachers. ***** make up trick questions and your wrong either answer you pick. Then say afterwards life is tough and not always fare. Pretty sure that guy got sent packing after fn up a bunch of perfect GPAs. 1
