    Washington Post Does a deep dive on Josh Allens development so far

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted · Edited by Whkfc

    Brent Vigen cringed when he heard the question posed by an audacious freshman, one of the Wyoming quarterbacks on a Zoom call with a celebrated Cowboys alum. Josh Allen remains connected to the program where he developed into a first-round draft pick, and in May he joined players to offer advice and answer questions. After Allen detailed his quarantine workouts and offseason approach, the freshman piped up.

    When you look back, what do you think of that last stretch against Houston in the playoffs?

    Vigen, Wyoming’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach during Allen’s tenure and now, braced. The end of the Buffalo Bills’ first-round loss to the Texans included moments of virtuosity and insanity that define what both fans and detractors call the Josh Allen Experience. He underhanded a lateral over his tight end’s head while two defenders tackled him. He rifled an ill-advised, across-his-body dart for a first down. He hurdled a linebacker. Ultimately, the Bills squandered a 16-0 lead and lost in overtime.

    And now, some 18-year-old had asked the program’s most famous alum about it.

    But as Allen spoke, Vigen realized he had no need for worry. Allen took responsibility for the Bills’ collapse without deflection or anger. He diagnosed how he would have played differently. Most insightful, Allen pointed to the end of the first half. Coaches had play-called conservatively to set up a field goal rather than allow Allen to try for a touchdown. Allen explained he needed to change over the offseason for his coaches to see him in a new light, to trust him in those moments.

    “I said, ‘Okay, this is a different Josh,’ ” Vigen said. “He got a taste last year, and now he’s hungrier than ever.”

     

    Allen has emerged through the season’s first four weeks as one of the most improved and interesting players in the NFL, sneaking into the periphery of the MVP debate. He has captained the Bills to a 4-0 start, authored a barrage of highlights and ranks second in the league in passing yards (1,326) and third in touchdown passes (12) while completing 70.9 percent of his throws and running for three more scores.

    Rookie year finale against Miami where he accounted for 5 tds. I thought we had something there were moments last year where i was not so sure. But this year in the Rams game cemeted it. He jas surpassed what i hoped for this season however the defensive letdown has me scared. If the Defense can get back and the offense keeps up I have no doubt we win a Super Bowl sooner than later. 

    Allen vs Mahomes and Wilson...

    The problem is everyone wants Wilson to get it no matter what b.c he didn't last year. So all the "Voters" that have a say are all over Wilson's dick no matter how he plays.

     

    Yeah the MVP is more Wilsons to not lose. i think this is Allens "prove it" year. Next year if it keeps up will be the time Allen gets full respect.

    Mahomes behind anyone not named Wilson is laughable.  I'd have Wilson, Mahomes, then Jackson.  JA at #4, but I can see him challenging for #1.  

     

    the lack of fan noise is an interesting take.  I bet it is a def. advantage for rookie or 2nd year QB's. 

    Here is the link to the article i read.
