Josh Allen played at a G5 school in the most forgettable state with 0 stars as receivers. Not saying he was a god but certainly a better prospect than Mitchell.

I didn’t know this either, they were just talking about it during the game, but sure enough: Interesting so I guess there might be a SMALL advantage there but it's still an advantage. Gives the team more time to set up and get ready for the clock to start winding. Of course, that needs to be balanced against the real possibility of a fumble if you try to just fling it out of bound on the run

Hopefully NFL athletes can haul rear end downfield faster than the refs and you’re all set to clock it when they put it in play. I think Simplex’s idea to take advantage of lax mid-field defense could really work.

It was respectable. 68% complete, 30 TDs and 6 ints, 3800 yards. Compare that to Burrow, another one year wonder: 77.6% complete, 55 TDs and 6 ints, 5200 yards.

Simplex posted:A scenario I'm thinking of is if there's like 10 seconds left and you have the ball at the 50 with no timeouts. Teams are going to aggressively defend the sidelines but give you whatever you want over the middle. So dump it over the middle and pick up what yardage you can, and then chuck the ball down the line into the nosebleeds. You'll have plenty of time to clock the ball and then trot your field goal unit out. Another problem with this plan is that you do get the ball where it went out of bounds, so if you're throwing it way backwards to make sure it's not a forward pass, you're giving up 5+ of those yards you just earned. Definitely doesn't seem worth the risk overall, but maybe there is a 1 in a million situation where it would help.

The big issue is that they're going to open up the middle of the field to you in an effort to defend the endzone for a possible hail mary and if they're smart, they're also not going to tackle to you quickly in the hopes of wasting more clock while you dance around/attempt to lateral.

Exactly. He's right it's not a common scenario, but I mean we've seen a good number of hook and ladder type plays with little time remaining this season. Instead of a no-hope lateral to another player just lateral that bitch into the sidelines and have a few seconds or whatever to run one more play. Obviously it only makes sense if you're out of timeouts. There's probably some obscure rule somewhere in the massive rulebook that makes this a foul or something but it's fun to think about

Instead of a no-hope lateral to another player just lateral that bitch into the sidelines and have a few seconds or whatever to run one more play. Obviously it only makes sense if you're out of timeouts. Rule 4.7.1.d ARTICLE 1. ILLEGAL ACTS A team is not permitted to conserve time after the two-minute warning of either half by committing any of these acts: (d) throwing a backward pass out of bounds; Penalty: For Illegally Conserving Time: Loss of five yards unless a larger distance penalty is applicable. When actions referred to above are committed by the offensive team while time is in, officials will run off 10 seconds from the game clock before permitting the ball to be put in play on the ready-for-play signal. The game clock will start on the ready-for- play signal unless another rule prescribes otherwise. If the offensive team has timeouts remaining, it will have the option of using a timeout in lieu of a 10-second runoff, in which case the game clock will start on the snap after the timeout. The defense always has the option to decline the 10-second runoff and have the yardage penalty enforced, but if the yardage penalty is declined, the 10-second runoff is also declined. If the action is by the defense, the play clock will be reset to 40 seconds, and the game clock will start on the ready signal, unless the offense chooses to have the clock start on the snap. If the defense has timeouts remaining, it will have the option of using a timeout in lieu of the game clock being started.

If the Bills had won Mahomes vs Allen might have been the strongest armed playoff matchup ever? Not the best quarterback matchup obviously, just two guys who can throw the ball ridiculously far.

Cognac McCarthy posted:I believe he's been at or near the very top of the league for deep ball accuracy all season. Yeah he throws nice sideline/deep routes, especially if the ball doesn't have to get there in a hurry. I'll always remember this Washington/Vikings game (pretty sure it was the game that convinced the Vikings they wanted Kirk Cousins) where he dropped like 5 gorgeous deep sideline throws all over the Vikings. It's not like he's the best deep thrower ever or anything, but its one of those things he's reasonable good at. He throws catchable balls that sink correctly for the receiver to run under

This is what has me excited about Burrow. Dalton rarely puts anything deep where receivers can catch in stride and that seems to be what Burrow excels at.

He can make the throw, but it shouldn't be something around which the offense should be focused. There were several games this season where the first half offense bogged down because they tried to go downfield too often. It also shouldnt be overlooked noted how good Chase, Jefferson, and Marshall played this season.

What you should be excited about WRT Burrow is his ability to hit a target while he's in full stride during a scramble.

A.o.D. posted:What you should be excited about WRT Burrow is his ability to hit a target while he's in full stride during a scramble. Oh absolutely. That said, Burrow has tape showing he can get the ball downfield 30-50 yards and hit receivers in stride, which is more than enough to keep defenses honest. Dalton can get the ball down there and in the field of play, but receivers almost always have to adjust to the ball. Just having to realistically account for plays that far down the field will be a big help to our running game. Taylor likes his PA as well so Burrow not needing to set his feet for every throw also seems a fit.
