So Allen is "coordinator-dependent" and Mahomes isn't when Mahomes has *checks notes*. Andy Reid. Been saying it alot lately, Josh Allen gets NOWHERE NEAR enough credit for his Football IQ and ability to read defenses. It's become on of his best traits.
Josh Allen has made the playoffs with Brian Daboll, Ken Dorsey, and Joe Brady. 2 of those 3 have moved on and looked significantly worse in their new gig. Who is he depending on exactly?

Josh Allen grade ranks since start of 2023:. Beyond first read: 1st.MOF closed: 1st.MOF open: 1st.Vs. Blitz: 1st.Vs. Non-blitz: 1st.Vs. Man: 1st.Vs. Zone: 5th. Find me the part that's "coordinator-dependent".

No yeah it's worse.
Honestly didn't think I would see BYU beat a team worse than they did to K State earlier this year, but they've arguably done it to Colorado.

Ashton Jeanty told us before the season he would rack up 2,500 total yards and 20 TDs this season and we looked at him damn near cross-eyed. Through 13 games, he has 2,613 total yards and 30 TDs with at least one more game to play.

Already did a quick sweep of Colorado tape… this is not a joke… they have the PLAYERS to win 9-10 games… the stuff that happened on defense last night was not on them. If they tighten the screws schematically, they can beat a lot of teams.

The more I watch Garrett Greene, the more I think he could be the sleeper QB for next year's draft. His high-end throws are filthy. His feet change the way defenses have to approach WVU offense. Just needs better down-to-down consistency and help from WRs.

Everyone throws confetti when Florida Atlantic, George Mason, or Butler make the Final Four during March Madness, but one football team that some people subjectively don’t care for does it and the world goes up in flames.
A team once won a world series after going 83-79 in the regular season… 14 have access in NFL. 20/30 have access in the NBA… 8 seeds have made the Stanley Cup Final… 12 out of 134 teams having a chance is not outlandish.

"We should've been in if we had won the games we lost" is a persuasive argument. I'm on board.
Brigham shoulda been in the COLLEGE PLAYOFFS!!!! I don’t wanna hear about the bama argument … Indiana coach was too worried about talkin trash vs gettin his players ready to play… it was always and should have been BRIGHAM!! We shoulda beat Kansas but we thru a jump ball to a.

The problem, as you are seeing tonight, is very simple: 12 teams do not deserve access to a National Championship. We’re arguing about hilariously imperfect resumes. Worse yet, 15+ teams can complain that they should’ve been included with some kind of validity. This format.

"He's too short" should never have been the sole reason Pace went undrafted. Was nonsense at the time and looks even wilder now. Was one of the best players in CFB at Cincy.
“The next Ivan Pace Jr.” is going to be a thing we label standout UDFAs for a long time, even if his 2023 will be hard to match. However, Brian Flores’ defense has two more UDFAs this year standing out. How are they finding these guys? I asked Flores… .
