Definitely seems to be a lot of that out there and not just from PFF. I've never seen the entire football world be so collectively wrong about a prospect when the truth was always right there. They got so caught up in this "super processor football savant" storyline that they just completely ignored what their eyes should've been telling them. At the end of the day, if you simply don't have the physical ability to do it then nothing else matters.

You would've thought Cam trashing his throwing shoulder derailing his career while he still retained elite athleticism and vastly improved his completion percentage while being unable to push the ball down the field anymore would've quieted some of the haters down, but nope. They already had their narrative and they're sticking to it

One of the great all-time poo takes. Watching Cam succeed had to have been super painful for you. You're probably a happier "Panthers fan" watching us suck than you were sulking while Cam won us games.

I mean, it was but I get it. Top prospects not working out at the Combine has just become the norm. I miss the days of guys like Cam and Luke showing up and putting on a show but it is what it is. I would've loved to have seen what a guy like Travis Hunter runs but in today's environment you're never gonna find out. Hate the game, don't hate the player. The NFL is basically telling these guys they don't need to see them perform at the Combine so they're not. Since the NFL already doesn't care there's no upside for the prospect and only risk.

Talking about "alpha" and "beta" stuff is super small energy.

You would think being able to deliver a decent snap would be pretty key to a center's grade. Like I said, sometimes PFF gets too cute and leans into their system too hard. Maybe they need to tweak their system to weight things differently. I mean, if a center is out there dominating as a blocker but is sailing the ball over the QBs head multiple times, did he actually have a good game? PFF's system would probably say yes whole everyone watching the game would be screaming fug no. Same thing with Bryce. If you had multiple near misses and some drops that hurt your numbers PFF's system will take care of you. But if it's taking care of you there it should be killing you for missing on a walk in TD, making a terrible decision to force a throw on 3rd down when you could've easily jogged for a 1st down, throwing the ball through the back of the endzone on 4th down with a wide open crossing TE available, etc. I mean, when you have half a dozen disastrous plays it needs to reflect in a disastrous grade. Some "checks the box" plays don't make up for that. The only way I really see PFF as truly useful is comparing players at the same position over a large sample size, like a season. I feel like the larger the sample size the better chance all those things start to even out but at the end of the day, a PFF grade is just that - a PFF grade. It's not like it's some definitive thing. It's a cumulative score based on a formula based on the opinions of the people evaluating the plays. That's it, that's all. But they do need to tweak some things. Instead of watching a game and being like "wow, I thought that guy played like poo but turns out 'muh system' says he was decent" the reaction should be "I know that guy played like poo so that tells me 'muh system' needs some tweaking".

This is one of those times where PFF plays themselves trying to be cute and coming up with some "well, ackshually..." to justify a grade that just makes absolutely no sense to anyone watching the game. Bryce was unfiltered ass yesterday. There's just no defending it.

So it's nothing but hard work? That's bullshit. The Bills did a great job of identifying Allen as a naturally talented passer who had fixable mechanical flaws. Passing accuracy isn't something everyone can just work on and magically improve. I'm sure Josh Allen works his ass off but I'm also sure he's not literally the hardest worker in football history and I have never seen anyone improve so dramatically as a passer. Everyone deserves credit here. Allen for putting in the work and the Bills for identifying his flaws as fixable and helping him fix them.

What a fuging game. Damn, that was great.

Coleman got saved from himself there. He needed to go down.

See, that's just one of those throws that Bryce no way, no how, not never is gonna be able to make.

Boys we might be watching the game of the year and it's only week 1.

An absolute horse poo luck circus TD and now a circus fumble have completely changed this game.

Doesn't matter what the Bills do on offense, their D has zero answer for the Lamar/Henry two headed monster rushing attack.

Yeah, watching this game is a reminder that we watched two bad teams play today. There's just levels to "bad" and we're way worse than the Jags who are still relatively bad.

Buffalo better find a way to turn the tide on both sides of the ball and pretty quick because this game feels like it's slipping away from them and might become belt to ass here pretty soon if they can't figure something out.

Try hell. They DID. Forcing the sell of this team to Tepper destroyed us.

Now shortage of cheap high quality options out there to watch guilt free of contributing to NFL revenue streams.

Once an MVP always an MVP and I was talking about how Shula would do dumb stuff with Cam.

Why are you running Jackson there on 3rd and 24? Felt like a Shula call. Why get your MVP QB hit on what is essentially a throwaway play setting up a FG attempt?

He's a beast but he's just getting paid extremely handsomely to toil away in obscurity on a bad team.

"Middling" is extremely kind. His peaks have been middling. His basements have been every bit as bad as the Jamarcuses and Rosens of the world.

Derrick Henry already has over 100 yards with over 10 minutes left in the 2nd quarter. LOL

Derrick Henry is a freak among freaks.

Enough with the sobfest, let's watch some good football. Bills came ready to play. Already up 7-0 less than 4 minutes in.
