    I think a trend you could start seeing with teams is every team having a Taysom Hill.

     

    Tight Ends who used to play quarterback who can come into the redzone and do what Taysom HIll does.

     

    They are manufacturing some of the magic that Josh Allen brings with Taysom hill from the 20 and in. 

     

    This is what every team in the NFL should be doing. Getting a triple threat who can throw and run in the redzone. 

     

     

    So like Logan Thomas and Travis Kelce?

    How did Allen not dominate in college?

    Well, as a Wyoming die hard and one who has watched every single snap Josh has taken, I will say that the simplest answer is he wasn't nearly as good in college as he is in the pros. His improvement has surprised even me, maybe the biggest JA homer outside of his family and friends. His rise and improvement in the accuracy department are probably unprecedented. But deep down I knew that Josh would be at least an above average NFL QB if not Pro Bowler because of his freaking size, athletics and his world class arm. Those things were always there. I mean, he may have the best are on planet earth. I have to admit that his ascension to the top two of NFL QBs has taken me by surprise. I knew he'd be good, but not this good.

     

    Aside from the fact that he has just gotten a lot better, the other biggest contributing factor of why he didn't dominate in college is the fact that he had to play for one of the most regressive coaching staffs in America from an offensive standpoint. Coach Craig Bohl would constantly talk about "getting rid of his gunslinger mentality" and similar garbage. Wyoming is possibly the most predictable offense in the country at any level. There is no imagination, no creativity, no nothing. Never any in game adjustments. If it works great, if not we're *****. Most of the yards JA passed for was on scrambles, because the original plays never worked. Coach Bohl all but turned JA into a fullback during the Border War against CSU in 2017. If you guys want to watch the grittiest ***** performance ever by a QB, go watch that game.

     

    A tertiary factor is talent level. Josh actually had a damn good 2016 season. UW (Wyoming) had a damn good season by our standards. Made the conference championship game and were division champs. Josh had Gentry, Jacob Hollister, a couple other good receivers and Brian Hill. In 2017 gone were Gentry, Hollister, Hill and Mulhardt, his other good receiver. There was no one to throw to. We sucked, plain and simple at the skill positions. It was very, very unfortunate. HOWEVER, if you've got Josh ***** Allen you'd think that you could engineer some sort of competent offense.  Bohl is just a ***** offensive head coach. So coaching and talent held him back

    Losing Chase at center didn't help either, but everything you mentioned was spot on

    To be fair Allen is such a duel threat that his passing ability gets more respect than his running. Allen is a pick your poison QB. Sit back in Cover 2 and he'll run over one linebacker spy. Blitz him and he'll hit the hot route, or find a way to juke the blitz and take off for 30. 

     

    Why is Allen a better runner in the NFL than college? I presume its because he has become stronger, smarter, and his supporting cast is better. 

    He is a better runner in the NFL because he needed to be.  In college at least in 2016 he had a better running back that did the heavy lifting.  Not a slight against Singeltary the offense at Wyoming was based around Brian Hill(dude has the school yardage record in basically 2 seasons).  Josh just balled out when they got behind in yardage.

    Honestly I bet a lot of GMs thought he ran to much in college and that wouldn't translate to the pro game.  Plus his low pass percentage didn't help on paper.

     

    Josh made sport center top 10 multiple times during his 2016 campaign at Wyoming. With crazy roll outside for tds.  One weekend against UNLV he made it twice and they lost.  

     

    He is a special talent and I'm glad he led me to be a Bill's fan.

    I don't remember any hurdles in college.

    But he scrambled alot and made things happen.  Busted his shoulder up pretty good the first game he played at Wyoming trucking a defender.  Then made highlight reals in overtime in 2016 scrambling for the winning td against NIU in the first game of the season.  That game got over at about 2am (mt time) Sunday so our London friend probably missed it.
