Quote from: DaveBrown74 on January 23, 2024, 09:09:54 AMI look at performance in its totality. I don't throw away the first 58 minutes and only look at what a QB does in the last 2 minutes and then slap a grade on his whole game. Having said that, I absolutely do weigh the last 2 minutes considerably higher than any other 2 minute segment of the game for obvious reasons, but the bottom line is the only reason why the Bills were in the position to tie the game with a makeable field goal was because of Allen's play all game. He was by far the best player on his team in that game (not even remotely a discussion), which was a razor close loss to the defending champs. No way I'm giving him a B grade for that game. He played great.
I think I have been very fair with Jones. Hell, I said up until this past year that I rated him as a middle of the road starting QB, somewhere in the 14th-18th range. Because I rated him that way, I was grouped in with the "hater" community here, but it now appears that if anything I was generous. Does anyone in the league besides John Mara and maybe Gettleman still think he's in the 14th-18th range? We know they didn't before this season (see the Athletic poll), so there is no way they do now. When he had good games I noted that he had good games and was always objective about that. So I don't think your remark about my treatment of Jones (which I get had a smiley face next to it and wasn't intended to be an aggressive dig) was a bit off base.
To the point in bold, and I appreciate not everyone likes PFF grades
