IIRC, your logic at the time thought was basically "it's happened to these other players, so it'll happen to Allen".
Uh, okay... maybe, I guess. He also lost his OC/QB coach who somehow made Daniel Jones look good at times, went through a UCL injury, and so forth. I'd personally put those things ahead of "must have been the yips!"..... or, maybe he's actually been overhyped this entire time.  |
Fair points. But I said the Packer franchise never recovered from that, not Rodgers personally, he still put up excellent personal numbers after that but only in the regular season. That loss was on MM more than anyone. I honestly don't think the Bills as a franchise will recover from that coaching malpractice for many years to come. Not so much Allen personally. Allen will still be a very good QB and put up very good numbers but I don't think the Bills will be able to get over the hump in the postseason.
