Are you sure Art has the most sway in drafts? Because I’d argue we’ve not even given Pitts a real chance to show he’s a bust. Art has made a concerted effort to involve Algeier and Jonnu more in this offense than who you are saying was his first big pick at 1:4 that he forced in the FO. For awhile he was using Bijan as a rotational piece that didn’t have full trust in the RZ. If we had a QB, we might be talking more about how London doesn’t get enough looks in favor of whatever journeyman wideout Art thinks plays hard or something.
The biggest issue is Art hasn’t and isn’t tailoring the offense to his personnel. He’s running the team his way, and it’s all a major swerve to what good coaches and teams do, which is adjust and maximize to what they’ve drafted/signed and have on hand. No QB but 3 top 8 weapon picks on rookie deals? Every play should be minimal read iso looks trying to put the ball in their hands. Force teams to stay wide through that so the run game Art loves so much is always reliable. But no, Art has an ego and an idea of what he wants to do, and it will cost him his job. Or us another year of dead end 6-8 win football, take your pick. But I don’t buy the draft strong arming because he’s used each one as if they are just another player equivalent to the rest of the offense that get regular snaps.
This will very likely be the 4th year in a row where Allen throws for 4200+ and 35TD+ while adding 6-12TD’s on the ground. Go over to the Bills sub and half of them have a massive silver spoon in their mouth complaining about Josh with the turnovers and “inconsistency”. He’s probably one of the very select few most physically talent players in the league regardless of position, and if you can’t figure out a way to win with that and the above production, you probably have to look at the staff. McDeez and co. probably haven’t been “bad” relative to the league but they clearly aren’t a good fit to maximize Josh into winning. I would hire Ben Johnson Bobby Slowik or Bienemy and draft OL, maybe sign a ring chasing Mike Evans.
But the whole JA is part of the problem chatter that gets thrown around is simply wild to me watching the games. The offense devolves into having him be Superman and that’s where the turnovers have come in, Joe Brady improved everything it seems but he needs a solidified system that creates easy looks with the backyard Clark Kent plays being a strong back pocket option. A few plays go the other way for the Bills and Josh is an easy MVP front runner even with the int count.
