He was drafted to eventually and inevitably replace those guys as a starter. With little to no drop off up front. It's been nonexistent.

They went out and drafted Chaisson. Bust. They went out and signed Key, Fatukasi and drafted Walker. They spent a [BLEEP] ton of money to improve the defensive personnel around him and he's still a non factor.

This has been one of the worst pass rushing defenses I can remember in franchise history. Not as bad as the 2009 squad. But, it's anemic to put it lightly. Especially for a team in 2022 that has all of these supposed great athletes on it.

At some point you have to look at the player for what he is. Going to be a real pisser next year when they draft Jalen Carter and Travon Walker flashes more than a 5th year player not making any impact and we passed up on a receiver like Quentin Johnston to essentially have another wash on defense in the pass rushing department.

And all that money they spent isn't doing much of anything. Allen can't do it all by himself, he needs help. If you expect him to be Garrett, Parsons, Bosas etc, then that's on you for assuming that. He isn't those guys and he wont ever be. Still doesn't mean he's not a good player.

Key is underwhelming at best, Foley is a run stopper and Walker is raw. Looks more like they spent a bunch of money on guys who aren't really any good.

Are you kidding me? It's on me for assuming a guy coming out of Kentucky, that was drafted 7th overall and considered a top three - five prospect from his class failing to live up his draft status? Get out of here with that nonsense man. 7 sacks in 2016, 7 sacks in 2017, 17 [BLEEP] sacks in 2018. Had 10.5 sacks as a rookie. Has not hit nowhere close to double digit sacks since then. 

I didn't say he was a bad player nor a good player. He's simply not living up to the draft status and we all know damn WELL that this front office drafted him to be a guy like Bosa, at the minimum. Joey Bosa and Nick Bosa are pretty good pass rushers. Nick's probably a little bit better than his older brother but Josh Allen has the same physical make up and speed as Joey and there's no reason NOT to have the expectation, in a PASS [BLEEP] HAPPY ERA OF FOOTBALL with 17 GAMES NOW, for Allen to at least get close to 10.0 sacks per year. 

Looks like they spent a bunch of money on a lot of players that aren't really any good. Yes and then again no. Is it everybody else's fault when Josh Allen has a ONE ON [BLEEP] ONE opportunity and he just puts his arms in his blocker's chest and tries to waltz him into the QB? He [BLEEP] sucks. Stop defending mediocre play and "almost" there stats.
