    finally we agree on something

    Josh Allen gets so much undeserved hate and its crazy too me. Dude is a freak athlete with the most insane arm talent i have ever seen, although i do think the bills need to get him some better recievers and not ask him to run so much to avoid injuries

    I saw a stat on Josh Allen (Bills) that said his 4th qtr QB rating is the highest for any QB. He gets better with each qtr unlike quite a few of the upper echelon qbs who get worse as the game progresses.

    Finally seeing Brevin healthy is a breath of fresh air. Whether its Brevin or Schultz, CJ's going to make them look good.

    my understanding is Jordan is terrible at blocking. He hurts the run game.

    That test looks like it’s better at predicting a high K/D ratio on Overwatch and Fortnite than successful NFL QBs.

    I kinda, sorta, maybe but don't feel bad for the company that spent years and $$$ developing this test only to have it totally blown up by 1 QB in 1 draft.

    No NFL team will take it too seriously again.

    The most interesting thing here that I hadn't heard before was that the company had flagged CJ's results as questionable. That kind of lines up with his quotes afterwards where he said he's not a test taker. I could totally see a guy who has already gone through all the physical scrutiny, interviews, talking heads questioning every decision or mistake you've ever made getting just a litttttttle fed up with a weird ass test that has no obvious outward application to the job you already know you're really ****ing good at. And then that attitude creeps into the test itself and you just don't give much effort.

    But regardless, I'm just glad the Texans didn't put too much stock in that score.

    Josh Allen wasn't much until Diggs came in to the picture. He has cost his team a lot of games this year with turnovers and there record in 1 score games is horrible. Having a great QB rating in the 4th could also mean you are playing against more prevent.

    I thought his test getting flagged was interesting too. Also, I thought it was quite telling how he brought up a possible lack of effort in the test early in the interview. It was like he couldn't wait to get that out. "We are not allowed to talk about what CJ specifically scored. We are not allowed to talk about his effort on the test"

    I still don't buy the test scores being something that is heavily used in determining a draft pick. There might have been one idiot in Carolina who put all their stock into it but I do doubt it. From the interview, it seems like the test is designed to F* with the athlete to see how they handle it. Because tests are flagged for potential effort, and considering the abundance of additional data beyond just the score, it seems that the scores may not carry significant importance in the overall assessment of the test.

    Scores are the only data point from the test that is released so that might be the least significant piece of information from the test.

    Josh Allen is a top 2-3 QB in the league. Diggs isn’t carrying him, it’s the other way around. That team has very little offensive talent.

    Big time respect from a guy who doesn't hand it out much.

    Im glad we have Stroud, I was a big proponent for drafting him with the #2 overall pick. I think he is the type of QB that makes players around him better, which is a necessary quality for a Top 5 NFL QB.

    If a player is deemed a top flight QB and he is not making others around him better....He is just avg. no matter how much talent he has.

    However, I think we need to withhold our judgment on Stroud until next yr. If he is preforming the same way next yr.....Cal better backup the BRINKS TRUCK

    Even if he isnt a top 5 qb next year(which I think he still will be), Cal still backs up the Brinks truck. In the nfl, it doesnt matter if youre slightly above average or elite, youre still gonna get paid at the qb position, just cause its so hard to fill.

    Damn, can you give the Texans at least 3 years before talks about "backing up the Brinks truck"? Why are some of y'all even thinking about that now?
