Yea he was as so many here were disappointed the Bills didn't draft Josh Rosen. I still can't believe that Yolo's head didn't explode. Glad to see him come around and I think most fans will over time. The Bills killed this draft with two studs in the first when most fans wanted them to trade the farm for that #2 spot and Rosen.

Fix his feet (it can be done) and that accuracy will improve. MAJ, here's my problem with the Josh Allen pick over Lamar Jackson. 1) You saw the improvement in Jackson's game compared to Allen 2) Jackson DOMINATED games against top competition. Allen didn't 3) I'm hearing how "athletic" Allen is, but who's more athletic than Lamar in this entire draft class. 4) Fix his feet for better accuracy. The Bills could've kept their draft capital and gotten a better version of Josh Allen minus the weight, literally and figuratively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I hadn't seen absolutely EVERYTHING on the guy. Still think the pick was a mistake, but I'm now trying to be a glass half full, guy. That's MY point. I mean, did you not see my two threads on him, with all the research and stats and links? I did my job. Edited April 28, 2018 by Domdab99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read so much about how bad he is on the board. I also could see it in games that i watched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starrymessenger Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 There are some wrong notions regarding Allen IMO, eg "he can't throw with touch" -sorry but that is nonsense. I know that for sure because I've seen him make throws with excellent touch. He just needs to do it more often. "He's inaccurate" - except I've seen him make throws with pinpoint accuracy and excellent ball placement. He just needs to do it more often. "He has poor throwing mechanics" - give him a clean pocket and a little time to set up and his mechanics, including lower body mechanics, are fundamentally sound. He just needs to do it more often, especially when on the run. His problems are very fixable IMO. That what good coaches are for. The risk for me has a lot less to do with his fundamentals which can and I expect will improve. The risk for me has everything to do with what's above the shoulders, not with what is below the waist. There are two aspects to the mental component. One has to do with absorbing the playbook and looking good in front of the whiteboard. I'm pretty sure he can do that. He may be a farmboy but don't be fooled he is also a very intelligent person. The other part has to do with that unique gift that great QBs have to be at home in the pocket, feel pressure, and above all see the field well and quickly enuf to make lightning fast, "football smart" decisions. It probably has more to do with physiology and brain chemistry than intellectual capacity. That's what Allen needs to have in order to give full expression to his remarkable physical gifts. That's something you either have or you don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Orlovsky had a great breakdown of all the QBs in the draft. He did have a problem with Allen not recognizing blitzes and where to go with football. People put out all type of false info out there. I read where they said Darnold was bad on whiteboard. The film don't lie. Jackson dominated games he played in against top notch defenses, Allen didn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
