Could the Pegula's have influenced the decision? absolutely, but make no mistake , the Bills HC preaches smart and smart is what he gets with J Allen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good stuff Almost deserves its own thread because every Bills fan should see it IMO. Strongest arm ever, EVER, we need to harness that strength...

LABILLBACKER Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 6 hours ago, Skins Malone said: Allen is way more mobile then Bledsoe. Bledsoe was a staute in the pocket Allen is far more mobile and was the second fastest quarterback of the top 6. I'm hoping his ability to hit receivers while rolling out will be above average. His footwork in the pocket will need a lot of development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufridr101 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Bledsoe was a statue and didn't play with heart his arm was good but not electric Allen is more elway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similarities: Grew up in small towns Height and Weight Arm Length Wonderlic Score College Completion % Read this and tell me this doesn't sound familar: Then Drew Bledsoe came out and his velocity was different, the spin on his ball was different, and it was like, O.K., now I see why he's the Number 1 pick." https://www.si.com/vault/2010/11/08/106003792/the-art-of-the-pass Allen is slightly more athletic, but coming out of college, they were really similar. Bledsoe was completely immobile and did not have a quick release. Not athletic. this gets my stupidest post list. 8 hours ago, Sweats said: I’ll take that comparison all day long You would take the career.

Oh please god let it work out......... The good thing is McCarron and Peterman give Buffalo the luxury of bringing along Allen at a slow pace. I also think A J McCarrons foot work and game management skills are a good example because they are somewhat similiar in size and athleticism in my humble opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I tried to think of an NFL comparison for the top 5 and I couldn't come up with one for Allen. Darnold reminds me of Rivers. Rosen of Eli Manning. Mayfield of Jeff Garcia. The most obvious one was Lamar Jackson as a right handed slightly taller Michael Vick. It wouldn't surprise me if Allen develops into a more athletic Joe Flacco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This buffalo weather story is a little overblown. Statistically it’s not worse than Chicago or Cleveland or Green Bay. And look at Green Bay’s qb. He comes from Cali. My god how did he adjust? And please make no mistake you have no clue what happens behind the scenes. This doesn’t mean I’m not rooting for Allen. I’m not one of these fans that hates my own qb all season.

Same here. He should change his name to Josh Alway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
