dominic lupacchino Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 His teammates are the ones who will look him in the eye and know he was young and dumb. I hope this gets laid to rest. Excited for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarlinTheMagician Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Man, he is going to be great. I will stand behind it if he is not, but I think he has it all. Talent, dedication, drive, humility, team player. For a kid that was 5'10" and 130 lbs going out for his high school team to a JUCO guy with no offers, I think he will work until he overcomes whatever shortcomings he has. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aceman_16 Posted April 29, 2018 Author Share Posted April 29, 2018 As I have said (many times on multiple background video threads), Josh has been growing on me. He was not MY first choice but he was the BILLS first choice. I appreciate his work ethic and seemingly desire to do well. Plus, I grew up an ole farm boy and I can truly appreciate the kind of man it brings out. Good luck Josh! God knows the Bills and all its fans needs you to become a franchise QB for 15+ years! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarlinTheMagician Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Love his mobility. Though I hope he does not lower his shoulder like that in the NFL! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CajunBillsBacker Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Can anyone find one throw in this video that Tyrod Taylor can make? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wppete Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I’m really excited to see Allen under Center. This was a great pick. Perfect fit for this team. 2 minutes ago, CajunBillsBacker said: Can anyone find one throw in this video that Tyrod Taylor can make? Tyrod had a good arm, he could make throws (not like Allen) but Tyrod just didn’t have that gunslinger mentality. He was way too conservative and scared to make the tough throws.

ko12010 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I found this very interesting. If this is accurate, the Josh Allen 'racially insensitive' tweets incident was incredibly blown out of context. This is representative of how terrible most of our major media is--quoting a tv show and a rap song is VERY different than actually making racist comments. Until I watched this video I had been led to believe that he made racist tweets not that he was quoting with a buddy from mainstream culture, very possibly in a joking as well. Again if this is accurate, it's absolute absurdity and so irresponsible of media to frame it in a manner that fits today's hypersensitive social victim mentality.

What is great though, is that Josh has owned it as if he did actually make the comments. Not one excuse. It was great to see how he would handle a tough situation, really speaks to his true character. It is easy to say all the right things, but it is in going through these tough situations where the true character shines through. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turk71 Posted May 8, 2018 Share Posted May 8, 2018 (edited) I had mixed feelings about all the qbs and would have been happy with Mayfield, Darnold or Allen. After the dust has settled I am happy they got Allen, though I am probably subconsciously biased as my grandmother's family name was Allen.

If I'm Peterman or McCarran, his superior arm and athleticism are the least of my worries when it comes to competing for the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transplantbillsfan Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 This was the first video I think I watched right after we drafted him... I posted a thread the day after round one with it in there talking about how much the reason I like Allen now is really the kid and the story rather than anything he put on tape in college. That thread got merged with the Round 1 Josh Allen pick stuff... no biggie. That video is awesome... really makes him seem like the perfect fit for WNY. But in terms of football related stuff, it was my first realization as to how late a bloomer he was... thus coming to understand part of why he went so under the radar in terms of College scholarships. I think it was a different interview, but dude was like 6'0 and 180 lbs as a Junior in HS, 6'2 and 185 lbs as a senior, and according to the interview below (which has a ton of other interesting stuff in it) 6'4 and 200 lbs when he got to Wyoming. Interview also talks about him being a multi-faceted 3 sport athlete who was able to throw a 92 MPH fastball as a Senior in HS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
