    Allen only had one incompletion last week that was not a throwaway or over 20 yards downfield.

    Correct - not counting throw always, For under 20 yds from line of scrimmage, Allen had 16 completions, 1 incompletion and 1 int. For 20 yds or more from los, he had 8 incompletions, 2 completions and 1 int. While the over 20 completion % isn’t great, he is throwing them and forcing the defense to respect that part of his game although it hurts his comp % stats. The number of pass attempts over 20 yds from los is the most of any qb. The only other qb close to that number of attempts is Mahomes.

    I don't know what his O line was like in college but this year his O line has been a disaster. 

     

    His last year at Wyoming it was a wreck, just like the Bills line. I actually think that his poor O-line play in college helped just to life in the NFL. Dealing with chaos in the pocket and scrambling is nothing new for him. I was amazed by his escapability in college but didn’t expect it to translate that easily to the NFL. The thing is, the kid is such a big horse with great balance and nimbleness that he can make d linemen miss and when he decides to run, he is faster than anyone thinks.

  3. I have no idea how he is going to turn out but I think the future is very bright for him. He most reminds me of a young Elway. I remember being amazed at the velocity he threw with and with his running ability too. He could beat you either way. I never paid attention to young Favre so cant comment on him. 

     

    Any comparisons to Kelly need to take into consideration that Bills fans never saw Jim as a rookie. He had already made his rookie mistakes in the USFL for 2 years. 

  4. Kiko was the spy on Allen today and Allen just burned them on the ground. Allen played great for a rookie in his position with the talent he has around him. The good new is that Allen is still improving. He has a real high ceiling. Lets just enjoy the ride with him.

    If you have a chance, look at Elway in 1983 - that is who Allen resembles most in style of play and results

    Today the kid had no turnovers and no sacks versus the 4th ranked D in the league - while throwing and running for a TD.  3-2 record in his complete games too.

    Elway is who he reminds me of most also. Crazy legs with a canon arm. I think the comparison is valid.

  6. I've never been someone to root for tanking, but this is the year for it. If Allen isn't playing, there is no reason to win. If he is playing, his teammates should be in full effort helping him to succeed. Let Allen sit, heal and learn from the bench. The only way they can screw this up is to start winning meaningless games ending up with a middling record. 

  7. How we got here is the last 2 drafts, most of the premium picks, outside of Allen have been spent on the defensive side of the ball. I also think the defensive players adjust more quickly to the NFL game than the offensive players. Zay is just starting to produce. Allen is raw. Dawkins has been solid. Peterman is a hot mess. Other than Benjamin, the emphasis in free agency has also been on the defensive side of the ball. McDermott clearly knows how to build a defense. Can he build an offense? That has yet to be determined.
