How does anyone know Allen's travel schedule? Being said that: it wouldn't hurt him to sign one seller's ball. There was literally no one else there. The guys had three deflated footballs...obviously not really a fan... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, the positives being reported on Allen are eerily similar to those reported about Manuel, so it is understandable if a Bills fan is cautious. I have heard this a few times. When i personally watch Allen's college game footage verses Manuel's college game footage there is very little comparison in how they play the position. In regards to swagger etc, Manuel did not strike me as having swagger or command of a room. He seemed genuine and nice and intelligent, but Manuel did not command respect from his team mates. I think Allen will. Production ultimately is what counts. I do not think it is fair to compare Allen to Manuel or any other QB for that matter, including Kelly.

It's understandable and reasonable to be nervous regarding their similarities, just as it is not so understandable and pretty unreasonable to declare Allen a bust because of those same similarities. I do think he will be better than Manuel, but that doesn't mean they aren't similar, ya know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or did he totally brush off the fan asking for an autograph at the beginning of the video? I don't know about totally brush off, but he didn't stop and sign. Not judging - every player has to establish his own limits and we couldn't see if there was a herd off camera where if he signed one, he'd be signing for a while.

I think Allen will. Production ultimately is what counts. I do not think it is fair to compare Allen to Manuel or any other QB for that matter, including Kelly. I cannot say that I have anything to back up an argument that their play styles are similar. I am not sure Allen has shown he can command a room of NFL players. That's not to say he can't, I'm just not sure what would support that thought. I think he could, too, but I just have nothing to base that on either way. By production, Manuel should be considered a better prospect. He put up way better numbers against way tougher competition. I agree that QB comparisons aren't especially helpful, but they do happen and are fairly unavoidable, especially as fans of a franchise that has a a lot of success at drafting the wrong QBs. 6 minutes ago, eball said: Fortunately, Allen has many more positives related to talent at the position EJ could only have dreamed of having.

He compared Allen to Vinny Testaverde in terms of stature, athleticism, arm talent. If we could get a Testaverde-like career out of Allen that wouldn't be horrible -- particularly if that's his floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is a distinction to be made between "elite QB talent" and "elite arm talent". I think neither Allen nor Manuel were considered "elite QB talent", but that "elite arm talent" is considered a trait held by Allen. I can get behind a Testaverde floor for sure.

Josh handled it well even though that guy was being annoying as hell and asking stupid questions. I'm going to disagree rather strongly with you. I spent years working on music videos, and have had the occasion to meet a bunch of them. They're hardworking freelancers who get paid for their product like anyone else. And, before you bemoan the intrusion into the privacy of the celebrities they stalk, the fact of the matter is that the celebrities rely on paparazzi to maintain their celebrity. The occasional violent incident between paparazzi, and celebrity notwithstanding, I can tell you that when a music, or acting celebrity stop attracting paparazzi, they become very concerned. I once worked on a Brittany Spears video (in which she arrived seven hours late), and there were about 20 paparazzi hanging about. Two of them were wearing medical boots from having their feet run over trying to get pictures of stars driving. One of them had been run over by Brittany, herself. I asked him about it, and his relationship with her. She knew him by name, and was generally really nice to him, and neither him, nor her harbored bad feelings. I can think of plenty of lower lines of work. Politicians, cold-call phone solicitors, time-share salesmen, and Tom Brady's* ball-handlers come to mind.

Seems like an "aw shucks" type Mayfield, Jackson and Rosen have more of it, for better or worse. You're correct. All agents coach their players, but a lot can't help themselves and say stupid things anyways. At least it shows Josh Allen can be coached.

Ignoring what he did before he was even a college Quarterback he did nothing but improve his draft stock. I mean it's all irrelevant if he's not able to play on the field. If that works out it'll be nice to have a QB that carries himself well off the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
