I think it's interesting that Allen takes more flak than Darnold, even though Darnold has objectively performed worse. People are more ready to blame Darnold for being bad because Gase is such a tire fire. People don't want to be wrong about calling Allen a poop show coming out of college.

Count me among those who were Allen doubters, but I still hear people grasping at straws trying to sound right even though he's outperforming everyone but Jackson in his draft class

First 300 yard game and no interceptions with 71% completion - people just post gifs of him missing Brown and fumbling. No one wants to be wrong about him. He wouldn't get a pass for sucking against the Jets, but he still gets poop for winning.

I enjoy every game he proves me wrong. He's doing well.

I hated the pick too, but I came around pretty quickly, and then once he started playing I was all-in. My main concern is the fumbles, but that's totally fixable. His accuracy isn't great, but you don't need to be Drew Brees to be effective. And even that's fixable to a point. It's just been so (frank)ing long since the Bills have had a good QB we don't know what one looks like. Ryan Miller had the opposite problem, he was always compared to Dom, so, in comparison he didn't look that good.

I've never been a believer that accuracy is fixable, but there are times when he stands in the pocket perfectly still and he can deliver with surgical precision.

I think as the game slows down for him (and it will imo) he will pick defenses apart.

He has the arm talent and the intelligence. He just needs the poise

I think the best teams let players, especially good players, do what they do best instead of trying to make them into something they're not.

A defenseman should know how to play DEFENSE
Especially if we plan on having Dahlin our on the ice in important situations & playing big minutes

Worked well when Trotz got OV to “buy in” to playing defense in his late20s
No reason Dahlin can’t work on his defensive game in his TEENS

And the Bills are winning, good job there. You just couldn't stay away from me, even though I had no problem staying away from a banned person myself.

I think his problem is when he gets excited, like when a guy is wide open in the end zone or on a deep pass. His mechanics are tossed out the window and he just wings it. But when he has 3 guys coming down on him he can hit a guy 20 yard downfield on the sidelines as if the guy was standing next to him. That said... I think he is coming along nicely.

Cause it's something to talk about, and interesting on how other teams fans think about who there teams might draft.

I just think if you do the crime, you should do the time and not hide behind a fake account. That is the ethical and appropriate thing to do. This is a community. A community has rules and regulations that should be lived by. If the TOS and rules and regulations are not lived by then people in that community are free to break those rules with no ramifications except to change their names and carry on. Different rules for some and not others unless they choose to cheat the TOS too.

I also think others who write here should not look the other way but show some pride in the site and its TOS, rules, and regulations that appear on the resumes/CV but that is another thing.

Not really
Regardless of what they think,
it doesn’t have any correlation to reality

Rossi might get picked before us?
Big deal
We already knew that

How many people have you reported for whatever reason? I remember reading a few. I haven't reported anyone for anything but wrote it to their face.
