    I mean....not even as a practice squad player?

     

    I would def sign him to the practice squad

     

    No chance - this guy obviously has issues one of which is substance abuse. Don't want him around any Bills, including the practice squad. But wouldn't be surprised if Jimbo had already made some calls to management about his nephew.

    For those of you that like to rip Allen after 5 games, let me leave this for ya. I'm sure I could find numerous other rookie abominations as well. 

    Not sure why anyone would expect more from the kid with a pathetic OL, limited targets, and a run oriented offense.

    Flat brim is ridiculous, I agree plenz.  On about any age.  It looks acceptable on a 150 lbs something yr old with the skinny jeans because the skinny jeans are for more of a disaster than the hat.

     

    The basic '47 caps are good enough for this old guy.

    I disagree.  He got some much needed game experiance.  You can see the physical ability.  Also you can see the areas he needs to work on.  At this point of the year Allen would just be playing and trying to make things happen for an offense that lacks play makers.  The injury in my estimation is a blessing.  He can watch and see what decisions Anderson makes and why.  Pick up somethings and know how to better attack when he is back in there. 

     

    If Anderson's decisions are worth watching ... we're not talking Aaron Rodgers here.

    I just can't say enough how much I believe this will be a blessing in disguise for Allen. It's entirely possible this elbow injury saves his career.

     

    Josh was sinking out there and on the verge of losing his teammates' confidence as well as his own. He wasn't improving despite what some fans had deluded themselves into thinking. Now he gets to go back to the drawing board while he rehabs. He has time to go through his throws and identify where he was messing up mechanically. He can see all the opportunities he was missing with open receivers, how he could have manipulated the defense, where he had additional time in the pocket, etc. He'll get to watch another QB go through game prep and debrief. For the first time all year, he'll get to look backward and with the benefit of hindsight  he'll improve moving forward.

     

    By the time Allen comes back he'll be a better QB with a renewed appreciation for the opportunity life has thrown his way. He probably still won't be good enough, but he'll be much better prepared and with his confidence intact. He'll probably start to look like an NFL QB.    

     

    Is that before or after the Bills start looking like an NFL team ?
