Minka Fitzpatrick did not look good tonight

He made the Pro Bowl, not All-Pro I think that's voted on by the media I think.

 

His final stats

0 INT
0 FF
0 FR
0 Sacks

Yes certainly an All Pro

 

He got faked out and tried to grab him. I didn't notice if he was still wearing a cast on his hand, but he still needs to make that play. That said, where the hell was the rest of the defense? It took the receiver time to shake loose. Some other defenders should have been able to rally to the ball in that time.

 

NO DOUBT should just rolled with the players in the positions from the 3 previous weeks.
Seemed to be working pretty good.

 

That's just the Tomlin way. If it ain't broke, fix it anyway

 

well TJ and Minka didn't win us a Superbowl or even a play-off game. If Tomlin should go those high paid loafers should go too. They don't play hard enough to win and don't even get me started on blame--- refs-- fumble guy Pickens all he is --is a crybaby give me the ball so I can fumble it.at least Johnson seems a little better. Kenny might as well start. Mason can go too throwing pick in playoff. Not winning anything. And our punter might as well just miss the ball and let other team have it there-- it's about as far as he kicks anyway. At least Tomlin won us a Superbowl even if it was with COWERS players.

 

Because while both are the same height with similar weight, athletic ability varies from player to player; QB or otherwise. Mason was a pocket passer coming out of Oklahoma State. Josh Allen was one of the biggest boom or bust prospects in the entire draft.


The bust factor was him never learning how to properly harness his limitless arm strength to go with his arm talent; one that was very much in development. The boom factor was him doing so along with using his 1 of 1 physical and athletic gifts that literally no one in the NFL has.


Lamar has him beat in running. Mahomes has him beat in arm talent. Neither have him beat in both.

 

Athletic ability soooo let’s take the running part. Almost the same in the 40. Sooo you must mean athletic ability Josh Allen can wiggle people out of their shoes. I have yet to see Allen do anything other than truck someone. If they are the same weight then all you have left is attitude.

 

Agree, they all stunk.
I love Minka. I just think he had a bad game overall. The injury stuff is hogwash IMO. If you’re going to suit up you better be able to perform.

 

You are conflating speed and athleticism. Speed is a component of athleticism. Explosiveness, agility, strength and power make up athleticism.. along with speed. However, that is just the running aspect of Allen's gifts. Throwing power, throwing strength, hip torque when throwing, upper body strength, upper body power, lower body strength, lower body power and throwing angles make up the passing aspect of it.


Overall?! A lot more than just mere attitude. Again, there was a reason why Josh Allen was widely projected to be a Top 10 pick. Those aforementioned athletic gifts I just told you about do not appear very often; doubly so to the degree that Allen possesses. He is as close to Big Ben from a passing perspective as one will find. That said, he is a lot more akin to Cam Newton from an athletic standpoint; a bit more so in my opinion.



The tools and talent cannot be reached. The fundamentals of the position can. Mason has some tools... but not to the degree that Allen does.

 

Agree, seems like everyone on the team completely forgot how to play football
