    One thing I notice is does drop the hand level low before he throws it.

    It goes down to his hip.  Not saying it's an issue because he actually releases it pretty quickly.

    Idk if it’s the picture or angle but it definitely looks like he dips it a bit...

     

    but it I just rewatched every throw from Carolina and it’s tough to see if he dips it that low... his release is so quick you can’t really tell 

     

    its not a long motion so I’m not worried

    Props for bumping a thread where you and GunnerBill called him a third round pick?. If he pans out like some people (cough cough me) predicted, might be better to let that one sink to the bottom for a couple folk's sake.

    Where did I say that?

     

    i have him as a 1st round pick, and high end prospect...

     

    i was critical of a bunch but I did say he was going high in round 1

    I was probably the first to scout Allen. Watched him a bunch when he played Pee Wee back in Firebox, CA. I also went to several high school games scouting him and the local punter. Fast forward to last October and you’ll see many of my posts where I brought his name up as the best QB in the draft - nay, a generation. All youz guys that laughed at me can suck it. I was the first to like him as a QB. 

     

    Got the lottery numbers for this week bud?

  4.  

    Revisitng my scouting report from 7 months ago I am very pleased with how Allen is progressing.

     

    He has really come along way in a bunch of departments (mechanics looks sharper, learning to throw with some touch)

     

    and I don’t think he’s as inaccurate as many(including me when I made this) think he is 

     

    The Howitzer that is attached to his right shoulder cannot be overstated, and cannot be grasped until you see it in person 

     

    He is different. The ball comes out of his hand differently. He is special... no need to rush him...

     

    i think as Bills fans we are so used to getting let down... it’s hard to truly believe we found the guy... that’s why it’s easy to look at his stat line from college and be unimpressed 

     

    But when you break down what he does do good, and how much he’s willing to work to improve... the sky is the limit and he is already pretty good

     

    When he finally is the starter there will be ups and downs but in time he will become a star For us... the term once in a generation gets tossed around far too much... but Joshs arm only comes around once every 25 years

     

    Seeing it in person just made me billieve even more, he really does have rare talent 

     

    Cant wait for the season and his career!

     

    Go Bills

    Yeah!  It's obvious a lot of fans have prejudged him because he's been a WR coach throughout his pro career.  But judging from what Buffalo's three QBs have been doing in training camp and the first preseason game, he must be doing something right.  I was looking for a hat like that to use while mowing my lawn - all 2.5 acres.

    Yea I don’t have that prejudice because he is very respected in coaching circles. He is a technician 

     

    you live around Buffalo? They have the bucket hats at the Bills store and probably laux sporting goods

  6. Offensive Line is a tricky position. Once the light goes on and your start clicking it’s all uphill from there 

     

    Some lineman don’t get actually starter good till their late 20s

     

    Im not a huge fan of Mills but there are WAY worse RTs in the NFL... he has gotten better yearly and now is entering year 3... maybe the light does Go on and he plays good ball

     

    he is a pretty good run blocker

    ...maybe I'm having yet ANOTHER senior moment, but I thought there were plenty of kudos early on in practice about this kid.....think there was a "WHO IS YOUR DARK HORSE(S) TO MAKE THE TEAM thread and many mentioned Wallace AND Foster, a/k/a the 'Bama Connection with Daboll......what the hell happened??...

     

    Pads went on and he disappeared 

     

    Hasn’t been good for a while
