John from Riverside Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 They definitely have similar strengths even if they have one major difference they both have incredible arm talent and josh is a pocket passer but versitle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 FrankenBledsoe moved in the pocket like he was wearing boots with 50 pounds of cement in each of them. Horrible comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I know I will get beat up for this but I see more John Elway, in Allen, than I do Drew Bledsoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen compares to Cam Newton that he can escape rushers and easily run away from them. He is also like Big Ben in that he is so big it takes a ton to bring him down. Bledsoe was like Flacco in that he can run...like a mad stork on crack...rumbling...stumbling...bumbling. The biggest fault Bledsoe had was he couldn't escape the rushers due to his IMMOBILITY, and thus took far to many sacks. He also held the ball too long waiting for his receivers to break open. I'll tell you what though. I only hope Allen has a 14-year career with 4 pro bowls and a super bowl ring like Bledsoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering how the game has changed, that’s probably not as big a gap once you normalize for how much faster everyone is. i dont think it’s some perfect comparison and allen is definitely quicker but nowhere near as absurd as some will portray and if allen retires with 4 probowls and a ring he will be a home run for us. Was thinking this as well... nothing wrong with Drew Bledsoe... nothing at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did Bledsoe look dominate in college. In other words, did Drew Bledsoe win games for his team in college? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill_with_it Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Two things- 1) Drew Bledsoe’s arms trength isnt close to Allen’s. 2) Drew Bledsoe couldn’t outrun a 40 year old obese british bulldog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bledsoe had some real decent years early on in NE but he was an absolute dud towards the later years in NE and here in Buffalo. I admittedly assumed that he was comparing the two as incoming rookies. Though I’m also fine if allen gets us a ring and then we trade him to the pats for a first to start our dynasty if he was being super literal.

Bledsoe had a pretty sick arm. I bet he was pretty close in when he was young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 (edited) I'm definitely not ready to say Allen is going to have the same kind of career, but from what I've seen...the arm, the mobility, the good plays, the dumb plays...he reminds me a whole hell of a lot of Brett Favre in his first or second year in Green Bay.

The sports science folks who proclaimed jamarcus russel and pat mahomes as having the biggest strongest arms in the NFL, just said Allen has the strongest arm they have ever seen by a long shot. Said he has been recorded at throwing a football 70+ mph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
