Buck Allen vs Duke Johnson


Panthro

Recommended Posts

Chances are we are drafting a rb. If we don't go Gurley in the 1st(cuz he's been drafted) I think these guys might be possibilities.

I'd love to have some prospect "vs" threads leading up to the draft.

I know we have some fans of both teams so I'd like to hear from you.

And....go

I thought Duke has been a stud the whole time he's been at Miami and he's gotten stronger as time went on.

He's fast. Don't know his combine numbers but don't care. He's good for a highlight a game with the d chasing him.

I can't really remember him passing catching much. But again QB play at The U not so much. He's a hard runner who could cut and go or bowl over.

From what I remember anyways. And I'm no scout either. I just liked what I saw.

As for Buck Allen...wasn't he on Saturday Night Live in the 80s? Kinda surprised he's in the draft. He's gotta be around 70 or so. But hey, good for him.

Just looked him up on Wikipedia. He's 84 years old. Couldn't find many stats on him.

Oh and he changed his name too. I guess he thought Buck Henry didn't sound like an NFL name. Who knew?

I heard he realized the nfl was a lifelong dream he's running out of time to fulfill. Couldn't compete at the combine because he was getting a pacemaker but has been really working hard with a personal trainer. No word on his 40 time, but some have said he's gotten the attention of a few scouts.

I would be surprised if he goes before the 6th round honestly, but good for him going for his passions at that age.

Yeah I was thinking a flyer in the 7th or snap him up as a UDFA before anyone else can.

    • I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.  
    • I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years. 
    • He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
