Long Suffering Fan Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 This content is a week old, but I did the site search and couldn't find it. If this is buried in another thread, mods feel free to merge... I ran across this by accident. It is 15 minutes of Warner breaking down some Allen plays in the KC game. There are some really good details in it pointing out what they were trying to accomplish, why Gabe was open, what Beas was doing, Diggs probably not knowing the play call on the two point conversion he caught, how the Bills ended up attacking the absence of Mathieu on some key plays, etc. 1 2 Quote
34-78-83 Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 Warner is one of the last experts to come around on Allen. Glad he finally has! 2 2 1 1 Quote

Honestly, at this point, anyone with an ounce of simple instinct for self-preservation has got to know its no longer even possible to play the skeptic card for click bate without appearing utterly clueless. 2 4 1 3 Quote

It's funny you mention it. I also heard recently that this Allen kid is pretty good. Who knew? 2 Quote

How about those "layups" now? Yeah man I had seen that he replied to you! and in this newer breakdown he even refers to the layups and easy throws again saying that Allen achieved that. He'll never admit how crazy unfair he was being to Josh just to preserve his original takes. Maybe Warner should look at some of the throws Rodgers was or wasnt executing in his playoff fail vs. the Niners? LOL 2 Quote

2020 Our Year For Sure Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 Warner has been pumping out terrible QB takes for years. Quote
jletha Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 Kurt is allowed to grade on whatever scale he wants. But one thing I didnt understand with this specific criticism is that he admits he makes up for "missing layups" with his tremendous physical talent. Which implies that he is getting the job done, just not in the way Kurt wants. It almost comes of that he would give him more praise Josh made the layups but wasnt able to impose his will physically. If youre getting the job done then youre getting the job done. I guess isnt the point (or at least a point) of getting a physically gifted QB that they dont have to be perfectly cerebral. The margin for error increases. Otherwise youre Baker Mayfield. I guess if youre grading Josh as a pure passer its fair. But if youre grading him as a QB capable of moving the ball down the field then it seems incorrect. 1 1 Quote

Whenever this topic comes up, I think of Terry Bradshaw saying, some time 2 seasons ago, I think, before a Bills game: "For me, either you are accurate or you aren't. And if you aren't, you'll always be inaccurate." That was his sum-up of Allen at the time. It's stuff like that that makes me record almost all games, watch them a bit late on tape delay, and FF through ALL talking head BS. There's no need to listen to any of it, ever.

GunnerBill Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 51 minutes ago, Gugny said: What the ***** is a layup? Having watched a lot of Warner's breakdowns a layup to him is a single defender read play. Where it is just read one guy if he stays wide throw to spot X, if he cheats inside throw to spot Y. I generally like Warner as a guy to break down QB play but I do wonder if it is getting a bit outdated. He is from what @BADOLBILZ has dubbed previously the "cerebral era" of NFL Quarterbacking where he and Brady and the Mannings and Brees beat you with their brain. They made the right decision 95% of the time and that made execution easy. Not saying Allen and Mahomes and Herbert etc can't play neck up, they clearly can... but they have the physical gifts that allows them to make a wrong decision and get a good outcome more often than those guys in the 00s and early 10s could. This generation of NFL Quarterbacks are shifting the dial a bit back towards physical gifts over mental gifts. The "cerebral era" is probably over with #12 retiring. 5 3 1 Quote
