It's the job of some of these people to stir up controversy and they do their job well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially utilizing underneath routes. I do think Josh could get way better if he were to also look short more often, though. I think the UCL injury affected his quick game last season. He was otherworldly in the first half of the year 1 minute ago, EasternOHBillsFan said: Unfortunately on GetUp we have some clown like Kimberly Martin trying to compare Josh to Dak and of course always talking about interceptions.

One reason I believe the offense will be better this year as the TOs last year were just flukey at times and uncharacteristic for Josh, especially in the red zone. He will clean that up and be fine. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The complete lack of nuanced insight here is....idiotic. Wow. There are 32 defensive coordinators in the NFL (well...maybe 31?). So because a few of them have a bad take, that means a defensive minded head coach is bad? That's logical (Not!). I sure hope you don't have a position where people management and employee evaluation is part of the job, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCofNC Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 I’d love to have that DC, with any team he can field, stop Allen when he needs to score 😂. I’ll give it to them, with the game on the line, if you take away the threat of running, Lamar scares nobody. Hurts will take it over your head, so if you can stop that too, then maybe you can say he won’t get you (good luck with all that BTW). With Allen, the only way you beat that animal is to bulldoze the line into his lap, which can happen, but as a passer, he’ll still destroy you. The guy doesn’t throw over 4k yards every year by mistake… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will clean that up and be fine. I have never had a problem with them because he is playing a Jim Kelly style of football by pushing the ball down the field and taking chances. It's all about the durability and concerns over the physical toll he is putting on his body and exacerbated by the coaching staff not bolstering the running game- turnovers happen and are manageable, but the physical toll placed on Josh is being mismanaged.

Doc Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 22 minutes ago, pennstate10 said: The guy who wrote this is an idiot. It’s based off an Athletic article. They interviewed 50 NFL coaches/GM. There were 5 Tier 1 qbs. Allen had 3rd highest rating. Mahomes scored a perfect 1.00. Burrows a 1.02. Allen a 1.12 (which means 6 coaches voted him in tier2 and 44 voted him in tier 1). The best tier 2 qb scored 1.82. So yeah, this guy is clueless. Yeah that's dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cray51 Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Allen, Hurts, Jackson are three completely different players. Allen - drop back focused, with some designed runs. Likes to jump out of the pocket with pressure comes in and will create with his legs Hurts - Play action and designed run heavy Jackson - Pocket passer who is a first read guy, and then likes either an outlet with his TE or his legs. Designed runs are a part of his game, but not to Hurts level Allen is the best QB out of the three, then Jackson, then Hurts. And the gap between Allen and Hurts is a tier or two 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy doesn’t throw over 4k yards every year by mistake… Yeah, I mean, Bill Belicheck used to hold that opinion of Allen - that he would try to beat you with his legs, that he would go for the deep stuff and could be baited into mistakes. That opinion changed on Saturday January 15, 2022. Allen has now had 3 consecutive seasons well over 4000 passing yards, with 138 passing TD and 60 INT. We are well past the days when opposing defenders would say "we need to keep him in the pocket and make him be a QB". Lamar Jackson's best passing year was just over 3,000 yds. The rest have been 2,000-ish. Open question "can he beat you from the pocket"? Jalen Hurts had a great season last year. Big step up in completion % to 67% and passing yards to 3700. Lots of passing TD, near the top of the league in INT %. The Eagles don't make the Superbowl without his big step as a passer. Datapoint of 1 season that "yes, yes he can beat you from the pocket". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love it when people make outlandish statements off the record or while unnamed. It shows they're afraid of being called a clown.🤡 Edited August 7, 2023 by loyal2dagame 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beck Water Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, Gregg said: I would like to see Allen playing behind a solid OL like Mahomes does. Although it does have to be pointed out (and this applies to Burrows as well) that "solid is as solid does". Allen does his O-line no favors at times; if he took the short pass and the checkdown more at times, his line would look better. I mean, I'm not saying they'd magically look great, but they'd look average or a bit better. And Spencer Brown would still be an issue.

strive_for_five_guy Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 If the Tier 1 requirement is that a QB has to be able to win as a “passer” only, then I can get why one might not put Allen on Tier 1. But one could also argue that the Tier 1 requirement should just be ability to win, regardless of how that’s done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobbRiddick Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 (edited) 2 hours ago, Warriorspikes51 said: I love him, but his completion % needs to be closer to 70% like it was a few years ago. Having WR's actually catch certainly helps A lot of this completion % stuff gets read the wrong way by the experts. If Allen threw 3 extra dump offs to RBs per game it would inflate his completion % and a lot of these experts would suddenly be making a big deal of his improvement, even though all he's done to improve it is throw 3 incredibly easy passes per game. Now, that's not to say such throws are worthless because they can be the difference in moving the chains or punting, but it does show how such things an get overblown. it was the same thing when he left college. Everyone was making a big deal of the 58% (or whatever it was) completions and it just became this phrase everyone started parroting. One of the Josh Allen believers (might have even been Kiper) pointed out that he was making more difficult pass attempts because his team was so bad and needed to score, and that if he'd make a couple of easy check downs per game it would have inflated his % to 60%, in which case the stuff about his accuracy wouldn't have been talked about so much.
