Message: [QUOTE="Lefty2one, post: 2703541, member: 1001"] Like most fans, I will be stunned if Josh Allen is a good QB. Hell, I'll be surprised if he's still in the league in five years. This article is great... [URL="https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2018/4/24/17271686/josh-allen-nfl-draft-2018-stats-analysis-comparisons"]There’s almost no reason to believe Josh Allen will work. Almost.[/URL] For all the hype about Allen's arm strength he had the lowest completion percentage on yards of 15+ throws compared to the other four 1st round QBs, was the least-aggressive at throwing past the sticks in 3rd down situations, completed only one pass all year of 40+ yards (of 9 attempts), and on average had the most time in the pocket of the five first round QBs and Mason Rudolph. Sure, some of that is coaching/playcalling but I need to see more from a guy when he's facing a lower level of competition. I spent part of my day watching Darnold highlights (I'd previously stuck to lowlights) in attempt to get myself excited as a Jets fan. I feel slightly better, mainly because outside of a brutal 4-game stretch this year he's been great. He's not Mark Sanchez at least. I like the comparisons of Philip Rivers, which on one hand is good because that means he'll be our best QB since Joe Willie but at the same time I think Rivers is horribly overrated and he's never won a thing. Time will tell... [/QUOTE]
