Darnold outperformed Allen in every major statistical category. And the “fumbling problems” that Darnold had in college now seem to be more of a Josh Allen problem in the NFL. Cool story. As I said, it's May and that article is looking at 2019, which is over, and in which Buffalo was the better team, a playoff team. Sam being "better" by some thin stat margin in a few stats in 2019 means very little now. That season is over. It's also funny, because Jets Fans have constantly said Allen sucks, but Sam is barely ahead of him in a few production metrics (and well behind in others). Being a tiny bit better than a guy who "sucks" isn't really high praise, or a high bar is it? I'm more interested in looking forward. Will the "best QB in the AFC East" produce to starting QB average or above levels in the major QB production stats, passing yards, TD's, etc. Will he play all 16 games in 2020? Will he throw for over 4,000 yards? Throw 30 TD's? Throw less than 15 INT's? That's what I care about. I'll save my praise for after Sam, the 27th rated QB in the NFL in 2019, actually earns it in 2020. And all I am asking for is average at least. 15th rated or better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, their o-line was better than ours, and their defense was pretty good, too. But Allen is a starting QB in this league. And he showed me enough to prove he’ll be their QB for the next 10 years. Allen's a poor man's Cam Newton, and Cam only made it to nine years. I suspect the Bills are going to have a little struggle deciding whether or not to give him $100M guaranteed in a couple years. You're describing Sanchez here except that Sanchez actually won playoff games, too. No one looks back on his extension and says, "that was a good idea!" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original question was “who’s the best QB in the AFC East”? I wasn’t comparing him to anyone other than the other three teams. I never said Allen sucks. To the contrary, I said he was pretty good when he wasn’t turning it over. He had a better o-line and defense behind him than Darnold, too. That’s why they made the playoffs. Some people feel Fitz is the best. To each his own. I remember Fitzmagic quickly turning into “thank God we didn’t give him a big extension” after 2016. And the Patriots, that doesn’t even need to be stated. I’m in full agreement that Darnold needs to progress, just like most young QB’s. Getting him better blockers and weapons should move that process right along. And the 16 games are more realistic when freak occurrences like Mono don’t pop up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warfish Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 So through two seasons, the two look pretty damn neck and neck to me. One does more by running, one by passing, but so what, a yard gained is a yard gained. Sam is 11-15. Allan is 15-12. Sam has a 59.9 Comp. %. Allen has a 56.3 %. Sam has 5.889 Passing Yards. Allen has 5,163. Sam has 200 Rushing Yards and 3 Rushing TD's. Allen has 1,141 and 17 Rushing TD's. Sam has 6,089 Total Yards. Allen has 6,304. Sam has 36 passing TD's (4.2%). Allen has 30 (3.8%). Fitzpatrick is 4.4% and Tannehill is 4.5% for reference/comparison purposes. Sam has 26 INT's (3.3%). Allen has 21 (2.7%). Fitzpatrick is 3.4% and Tannehill is 2.5% for reference/comparison purposes. Sam has 16 Fumbles. Allen has 22. Sam QB Rating is 81.1. Allen is 78.2. Fitzpatrick is 81.6 and Tannehill is 89.8 for reference/comparison purposes. So yeah, these two look to be basically on-par with each other production wise. In the major overall production metrics, they're close: Sam has produced 6,089 total offensive yards, Allen 6,304. Sam has produced 39 total offensive touchdowns, Allen 47. Sam has produced 11 wins. Allen 15. Sam has 0 playoff games. Allen 1. All the major metrics above, Allen is ahead, admittedly while playing for a more talented team and one additional game. I'm not seeing this huge difference between the two in favor of San so far. And both are well behind guys THIS fan-base has said "suck" like Fitzy and Tannehill by a margin, and behind the elite guys in the NFL by a wide margin. Like I said, lets see what happens in 2020. Making loud proclamations on the above is (IMO) silly. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYJ1 Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I really think this article was obviously written by someone who was biased. I'm not putting much stock in it. With that said, just like the author I'm comfortable saying Sam Darnold was the top prospect in the 2018 and I still think he is today. Allen still relies too much on running the ball. He has yet to prove he can become a good pocket passer. He's definitely proven he can run the bll, however I doubt that's what Buffalo was looking for when they drafted him. Sam Darnolds statistics are slightly better than Allen's. I'm thinking with improved talent around Darnold he'll silence any comparisons to Allen. To me, Allen will be a backup someday soon. Arnold is a franchise QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're correct, I generally reject projections based on "muh feels", the "eye test" or some other emotional (i.e. homer usually) based hope. I don;t think it's hard to separate emotion from analysis. Analysis would point to increases in Sam's production in 2019 over 2018, and show how that projects out, blah blah blah. "Sam is the bestest best dreamy QB in the AFC East and Allen is poop" isn't analysis, it's wishful thinking. Wishful thinking I may also root for, but still. ? And as detailed above, it's not even accurate. Allen produced more in every major metric than Sam so far. To reach an alternate conclusion, you basically have to eliminate value from rushing production, i.e. you cook the books to make Sam better by ignoring what Allen is good at to do so. Quote Even in the draft threads where the entire idea of a draft is to take what was done in college and project it for the future - you cling to the college career numbers. Over workout wonders who only rose to attention and prominence during the combine because of a single 40-yard dash time, for example? Absolutely.

14 in Green Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 We've been having the same discussion, with the same people holding true to the same opinions, for two seasons. Here's what's true. 1. We gave up a lot of draft capital to get Darnold. 2. Yes, he's still young and has potential (he was the 3rd pick in the draft, so that's a given) that, and a dollar, will buy you a lottery ticket. Here's what's opinion. Going into his 3rd year he has yet to convince everyone he's the player we hoped we were getting. He is not a bust, but it's also likely his ceiling isn't as high as was thought. Allen, Mayfield and Darnold all have two seasons in the books. They've had good and bad moments, but a team can't wait forever for a QB anymore, not with the way these guys are getting paid after a first contract. As of now the only QB from the '18 draft who has proved to be a "hit" is Lamar Jackson. It's up to the others to show their teams chose as wisely as the Ravens did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many wins did the NFL grant us for having the youngest starting QB? How many extra first downs did we get from the Refs because Sam was just a widdle kid? Until the league starts giving us something for Sam's age, this really isn't a valid excuse or topic worth debate. He is the starting QB on an NFL team. If he wasn't ready because of his youth, he shouldn't have been starting. But he was ready and did start. He gets judged by the job he is responsible for, like all starting QB's. No two or three year mulligans for youth. He's not a trainee, he's not doing an apprenticeship here. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post slats Posted May 18, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2020 I continue to believe that it’s no coincidence that Darnold’s most vocal detractors also live outside the metro NY area. The cold, black & white numbers are not impressive, watching Sam Darnold perform with a cast of clowns around him is. The kid can obviously play. He wouldn’t be the league MVP on the Ravens, but on that team under Harbaugh, they’d be a Super Bowl favorite. Ditto for the Bills. Sam Darnold would make them a much better team and in the AFC Champs discussion rather than the AFCe Champs discussion. Football is a team game, and the team around Darnold has been horrendous. He’s on his second head coach, and they probably both suck. Put him in a stable situation with a middling OL and a genuine weapon or two and this isn’t even a conversation. Really hoping the OL and Mims and Perriman make the difference this year. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam has 16 Fumbles. Allen has 22. Sam QB Rating is 81.1. Allen is 78.2. Fitzpatrick is 81.6 and Tannehill is 89.8 for reference/comparison purposes. So yeah, these two look to be basically on-par with each other production wise. In the major overall production metrics, they're close: Sam has produced 6,089 total offensive yards, Allen 6,304. Sam has produced 39 total offensive touchdowns, Allen 47. Sam has produced 11 wins. Allen 15. Sam has 0 playoff games. Allen 1. All the major metrics above, Allen is ahead, admittedly while playing for a more talented team and one additional game. I'm not seeing this huge difference between the two in favor of San so far. And both are well behind guys THIS fan-base has said "suck" like Fitzy and Tannehill by a margin, and behind the elite guys in the NFL by a wide margin. Like I said, lets see what happens in 2020. Making loud proclamations on the above is (IMO) silly. Holy shlt you're horrid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
