He said i'm a lousy poster as well. Whatever. He got all bent out of shape b/c I called him out on how off he was on his player evals. That makes him an awful poster as he's 98 % wrong. That was his response. LOL.
Yes Lawrence had a good year this year so it looks better than Mac having his good year and then regressing year 2. The rule of thumb is that it takes 3 years for a QB to establish their level, see Josh Allen. If Mac has another bad year next year with decent weapons and solid coaching it is time to move on.
Agreed. I think Mac is adequate. Bill will need to surround him with at least one elite weapon. Could be TE or WR.
Two elite WRs every two years.
Lawrence's good year was significantly better than Mac's good year, though. Lawrence is 8th in ANY/A, 9th in passer rating, 7th in DYAR, 10th in DVOA. He was a legit, no questions asked top 10 QB per snap on the 7th most attempts in football. It's not comparable to Mac's 2021.
Last year, a lot of the same issues with the offense/Mac existed though, they were just covered up by a lot of beatdowns of bad opponents, which this team could not do. Lawrence has won shootouts multiple times this year, something that Mac hasnt proven he could do yet
Yeah this loss was all Mac's fault. What was he thinking giving up 2 kick returns?
There is no question he knows more about football than I do. Lots of people on this board do. That's why I come here.
Well, I mean, he did throw 3 picks in the second half (not all his fault but he is the one that threw those balls).
F them. Seasons over and i'm sick of their ****.
That wasn't the question you asked.
The comparison is based on draft year and the time it takes to develop into a reliable QB. Clearly Lawrence is the better candidate as evidenced by his draft position. He is more likely to establish himself than Mac in year 3.
I meant In The draft . I.e. use high picks 2 on wide receivers every year hoping to hit 2 who can be available for a 2-3 year tandem and then sign one while follow the same draft philosophy so that we can also get our Higgins - chase combo . We can't sign two stud wide receivers because of cost . I get that. Hence high picks should be used on wide receivers where the success rate of top 20 picks is relatively higher than a QB or other position and they tend to contribute more as rookies.Two elite WRs every two years.
That's a big ask. I think if you get an elite WR every 10-15 years you're doing something right. The problem I see is that those elite WRs eat up cap space, so your depth drops off dramatically when guys get hurt.
A lot of that going around.
That’s assuming the Bills would have scored 0 points on those drives. They could have scored 2 TD on those drives and it would have been the same. We will never know.
