I think the Bills really lucked out with Josh Allen. That he would remake his motion and go from 55% in college to 65% accuracy in the pros has maybe, what 20% odds of happening? Same is true with Ravens and L Jackson, to a lesser extent
Looking Back

Breaking it down further, with WR, open is open. Elite quickness and speed with decent route running will give you windows where you don't need elite route running and hands. Plus you can gain more ypa on simple slants and such.
And as for drops, a slant that goes 80 will more than make up for the occasional extra drop.
Whereas QB, a big arm and legs will get you out of lots of trouble but inability to read the field can be a big liability against elite defenses. There is an asymmetry there positionally speaking
And then to your point...how well it all fits together is the greatest force multiplier on the individual draft decisions. Elite accuracy, quick first read, surrounded by a track team, ample use of misdirection....man cannot wait for the season to start!
It appears to me that statistically that JW has the edge.
Analysis of the context of those statistics leads me to believe the gap is wider than an "edge".
Year one JW was clearly the superior player. Year two, JW had to share the ball with, arguably the best wideout in the league, and still outperformed Smith in several key categories.
I don't think there are too many who would trade Waddle straight up for Smith.

I wouldnt!!!!
I expect Devonta to age better but who really cares, in the draft all the real value is in the rookie contract. btw I really think there should be a 15% cap discount to resign your own draftees...
Just curious, what makes you think that?
Reliance on explosion and speed will hit him hard in early 30s
It’s interesting; I think that technically, Smith is the superior player…but Waddle is more athletically gifted.
And I don’t think the gap for either of those two things is particularly wide.

I dont know what being a "Richard" means and I couldn't give a **** less.
COULD. Saying that you “couldn’t care less”…
…you know what? It’s not worth the explanation.
Regarding the Richard thing?

IMO statistics are not the same as talent. Statistics are a lot about situations. That's why there were ridiculous posts last year that Bridgewater was a better player than Tua.
It's really easy for you to be this annoying isn't it? Your like that kid that nobody wants to hang out with. You can stop posting links to the garbage you talk about. I give Zero ****s about your lingoCOULD. Saying that you “couldn’t care less”…

It's an art.
And actually, looking back on the way the conversation went down, I misunderstood what was happening, so my apologies.
However, you can't both call him my buddy and then imply nobody likes me. That just doesn't make sense.
More succintly...the QB is the general on the field. The WR is a main weapon. You don't want a dumb general (see Rus-Ukr war)
