Luka Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 Well if you find all this entertaining, just wait until we beat the Steelers Sunday night and Josh lights up this year's darlings of the NFL.

thenorthremembers Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 The problem with discussing any football reporter, especially ones from ESPN, is that you are ultimately trying to have a rationale conversation about a hyperbolic statement and that doesnt work. The truth is Baker, Lamar, and Josh are all top 15 QBs in the league right now. Just because one player has a great game, it doesnt mean the other is trash. If you want to look at Baker and Josh specifically, they are relatively close in what they've been able to accomplish in the NFL. Josh has more wins, more combined touchdowns, and less ints. Baker has a better completion percentage (by .7) and has a few more combined yards. Baker is a good quarterback, but if you want to be real about elite physical talent, I think we all know how you should pick. The lesson here. Stop watching FS1 and ESPN for God's sake.

I still watch GMFB , they're great but I just can't deal with the ESPN shows anymore. I don't watch pre game coverage either anymore, just can't do it. Majority of the ppl are awful ESPN still has sports shows? 2

Signature wins come in big spots. Sunday night would definitely be a signature win. A good team, with a long pedigree of winning, in a game with high-stakes (playoff position) on the line. Sunday night is basically a playoff game.
fergie's ire Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 1 hour ago, wjag said: What were the reasons given? I watched First Things First for the first time today. I was looking for some Bills talk and I can't stand the new ESPN shows. Flipped this on. The one guy (not Nick Wright) said that he doesn't like the Bills because he doesn't like the quarterback. Says he has been playing terrible for the last two months and had one good game last night. Said that over the last 2 months he has the same QBR as Mullens. (Mind you, ESPN cherry picked their own stats during the broadcast to show that Mullens is off to one of the best starts ever to a career.) Pretty clear than rather than have a reasoned discussion, he sees his job is to PROVE JA is bad. I could see having some reservations about Allen...or not thinking he is one of the very top quarterbacks in the league yet, but claiming he has been BAD the last two months? That's just silly and clearly he has a vested in interest in wanting to prove the he has been right all along about Allen.
Mrbojanglezs Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 I still think the woke media still holds a grudge because they think he is a racist from that tweet before the draft. 1
starrymessenger Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 43 minutes ago, LABILLBACKER said: Every week the hater list is evaporating. Mike Greenberg said this morning he's never been so incredibly wrong about Allen. Said he's on the verge of stardom. Max Kellerman is calling him elite and only Mahomes is better in the AFC. If you're still a skeptical hater at this point you're just plain ignorant. PM is right now probably the best football player on the planet. He's had the benefit of great coaching and sits behind the wheel of the League's most powerful sports car. He's a very good athlete (not great and IMO not on Allen's level), he's got a tremendous arm (so does Allen), but the thing that makes him (the most) special is his ability to see the field and process with incredible speed. The game is just much slower for him than it is for normal human beings, even great athletes, and that in large measure accounts IMO for his outstanding accuracy. Thing is, he's so good that I really don't see much room for improvement. Allen on the other hand is still developing. All indications are that he will get better. I'll be interested in seeing how these two guys compare down the road. As has been said, although Allen deserves all the credit, the Bills have done a great job bringing him along, and they likely will continue to do so. 1

Baker is a game manager. Maybe he can be a very good game manager but if he doesn't have a running game he is not going to beat you himself. Allen can and sometimes they don't even bother running. That's the major difference I see. Edited December 8, 2020 by matter2003

GoBills808 Posted December 8, 2020 Posted December 8, 2020 Just now, SlimShady'sSpaceForce said: college stars shine because there are a number of games “bought” to get easy wins and boost stats His theory is that coaching (he uses the term 'situation' a lot) makes the QB- he uses the 2018 class as examples. My problem with his theory is that Mayfield got worse w Kitchens' bad coaching and improved under new coach Stefanski, but somehow Allen got better under same coaching staff and Jackson gets worse? The results don't match the hypothesis.

He’s just some random dude from Ireland. This. He cherry picks the plays that show what he wants to convey. He doesn't watch the game flow, probably doesn't for context. It's all "charts". His charts are the best charts, and everyone else is wrong. Except he put mariota as a top 3 - and will come up with 50 excuses why he failed. And none of them are that he's just wrong, and mariota didn't have it between the ears. 2
