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

I'm surprised more places don't ship...like Santora's,LaNova's,Penora's,Tony's etc.
Yea. When you are making 100+ pizzas a day maybe it’s tough to get out of town food to ship, because they are so swamped in the kitchen with local orders

I got that hat!
and Cully is a great football guy! He can really help our QBs

Sure they do, they're points scored, just as they count for kickers converting an XP.
They don’t count as yards accrued or a TD... I can care less if it adds 2 points to your season total
it isnt a TD

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

Oh i recall now, that is when lil Bum got so upset he yanked the team off the field and the Pats then went for 2 and shockingly got it, worst is they threw it to pad individual stats
You can’t pad stats on a 2 point conversion... they don’t count

...damn.....talk about blowing an opportunity........probably baseless speculation, but I wonder if he was asinine enough to take the "Daboll 'Bama Connection" for granted?....
0 chance as an UDFA
that would have been the dumbest decision of his life

...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

Let me be the one to point out... I know everyone loves this kid and so do I, and I know everyone wants him to be a Kyle Williams type...
but Harrison has specifically asked to stop being compared to Kyle and being called little Kyle or mini meatball... he wants to be Harrison Phillips...
lets let him be Harry because there is only 1 Kyle Williams and he doenst want to be him... he wants to be a Harrison Phillips, All Pro DT

That's possible, I didn't watch entire games and focus on the D. But their defensive talent is really irrelavent with regards to scouting Allen. His supporting cast was really bad and his stats that everyone judged him on suffered.
I understand that. I said that Wyoming didn’t do Allen any favors... except get him ready for the pro game because he ran a heavy dose of pro styled offense
last year he had talent on offense. (WR, RB, TE, Cmade practice squads in NFL )and he was better but still needs to be more consistent

I think that conference is fine for them, generally. I'm saying that the actual talent on THIS TEAM, was FCS level. They were really bad and it made it hard on Allen.
I get they weren’t that talented offensively but they had a top defense in the conference
far from FCS level as a team... I was scouting when UB returned to 1A. That was a talentless team that had no business on a 1A field
Allen wasn’t in a spot that did him favors. I understand that...

In my opinion, the stats that made everyone hate him, were a result of his abysmal supporting cast at Wyoming. Most small, untalented schools, play other untalented schools, so stats are still relevant. Wyoming was playing out of their class. They had no talent, especially on offense (minus Allen of course). The interior oline was among the worst I have seen.
Plus he played in a pro-style offense, so his stats suffered from that as well. Modern college offense lends itself to better stats, especially completion percentage. Another factor of playing at Wyoming...
The stats guys hated Allen. The eyeball guys loved him. I'm with the later.
If Allen played with better talent he would have went #1.
How is Wyoming playing out of there class?Just asking?
they play in the mountain west conference... a perfect sized conference for them because it’s not power 5... unless you think they should be relegated to FCS

I never said it was because he was from Wyoming. What I’m saying is he has never had the chance to play with a lot of talent surrounding him. Do you suppose that if he had played in a power 5 with real receivers and an offensive line that didn’t resemble a colander he might have had a better completion percentage? When he has time to stand in the pocket, he can be lethal and the entire field is his playground. All I’m really trying to say is he has a lot of haters because he’s always been in less than ideal situations. Wentz was absolutely able to dominate at NDSU, but that team was already world beaters. The year before Allen came to Wyoming they were 2-10. If you had put Allen at NDSU would he have dominated too? Don’t know and we never will, can he dominate in the NFL with good coaching and talent that is on par with the rest of the league? Maybe. He just needs the chance to show it.
Of course Josh Allen would have dominated at NDSU.
I don’t discriminate against where a player went to college or what round he was drafted in.. it means nothing.. I’ve been around the game my whole life as the son of a coach... probably too much
It would mean nothing to me if Josh was at USC.. as I said earlier I’ve seen TONS of good QBs come from non power 5 schools over the years. I understand talent gap
I was around UB football at its infancy when it restarted at D1.. I know what a bad football team looks like lol
But Those teams at Wyoming with Allen would scrape those start up UB teams lol

Just have to be that guy.......
who is Jauron Gilbert?? Dick Jaurons love child with Gale Gilbert? Lol
I know a garrett gilbert who is an NFL QB ?

I agree with this. I don’t think fans didn’t like Allen because he went to Wyoming. The completion percentage was the OVERWHELMING issue people had. Is he accurate enough?
Exactly. Not that completion % = accuracy but yes people were suspect over 57%
to think we didn’t like him cus he was a Wyoming Cowboy is ludicrous

The crazy thing about this whole Allen story is, Firebough knew what they had in Allen and they couldn’t give him away. He fell into Wyoming’s lap after their first choice got a P5 offer. Everybody crapped all over him the second Mel Kiper mentioned his name. The thought was he could never succeed in the NFL because he didn’t play for a power conference. Wyoming knew what they had though. The Bills fans now see what he is and can become but most people still think he is trash. He’s just going to have to prove himself once again. The kid has not been handed an ounce of credit besides from his coaches, his teammates, and his teams fans who will look past some coachable flaws.
I had never been a Bills fan before the draft, but I am a huge Josh Allen fan and am now a Bills fan because he was my guy at Wyoming. The way JA plays will win you over. He’s going to make dumb mistakes and at times you’re just going to say “what the hell was that” but you’ll use that same phrase when he does something no other person can physically do. I created an account here at TBD right after the draft and it has been funny to see how the tides are shifting from negative JA to I NEED more JA in my life. If he doesn’t start week one, then his last preseason game will be the last time you see one of his “you’ve got to be shi++ing me, that’s not even possible” plays while listening to the media and everybody else bag on him being a bust, all the while knowing you NEED more JA in your life. Just know, JA has been hearing all the hate and he has a fire in his belly that will not let him fail. Soon enough everyone will know too and you will be able to say, “ I told you so”.
You know that literally has nothing to do with people not liking him ...
do do you know how many good QBs have come out of non power conference schools?
nobody disliked Big Ben cause he played in the MAC
it had nothing to do with the school

Josh Allen Scouting Report
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted
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
