I mean sure, good point. But you know he had to be trying this out in practice and watch Tre White embarrass him. Or he simply trusted his feet over throwing a difficult pass. He was never very accurate. 

 

Just saying if we had alshon Jeffrey maybe tyrod tosses it up when he's in trouble. Chances are Jeffrey catches it. Hopefully Josh allen trusts KB, and if he can't then he's in big trouble.

 

Taylor seemed to be most accurate when throwing to receivers he had spent time developing a rapport with and building chemistry. When he and Watkins were injured at the same time in 2015, they started getting to know each other better while rehabbing their injuries. And then, as we saw, Taylor to Watkins was a pretty solid connection during the back half of t he 2015 season. Watkins injuries prevented them from picking up where they left off but also in 2016 and 2017 was when Taylor suddenly seemed to lose one of his best skills, which was top-notch accuracy on the deep ball. But at the same time, he really lacked a downfield target without Watkins.

 

Whether or not you develop a chemistry with a teammate, you still gotta give them chances to make plays. I assume Allen will be able to see the field a bit better than Taylor so hopefully that will provide him the chance to see windows/opportunities that Taylor just flat out couldn't see.

The mental aspect of the game is clearly most important -- anticipation, seeing the field, making quick decisions, reading defenses, etc. Even without a great arm you can win a lot of games at QB just by salvaging a few bad plays and connecting on the easy ones. Just ask Bob Griese and the undefeated Miami Dolphins. Allen may not be as good as Griese, but he could also turn out much, much better.
