"Josh Allen is blowing people away" - Chris Simms


Estro

Recommended Posts

Was listening to the Simms & Lefkoe podcast today.  Said he's head from a media source and someone w/in the organization that Allen has been blowing people away (in a good way).  Listen for yourself.  It begins exactly at 40:26

What Simms had to say all sounds good to me. He said Allen is supposedly 'wowwing everyone on all sorts of levels'. If thats true then we all are in store for one helluva player.

Just like everyone I can't wait for the season to start & to see what this team looks like.

 

One thing that made me facepalm a bit tho with the podcast is the one guy bringing up the stupid tweets again. I've never really considered Allens tweets to be anything really serious, but i do hate how often these media types like to throw it out there, just in the hopes for some controversy or something.

 

Of course after Allen wins his 6th Superbowl they won't even remember those tweets.

Anyways, thanks for sharing & GO BILLS!

Well that's not true come on. The way it works is he has a great successful career then just as he leaves someone in the media goes "oh hey remember those terrible tweets he made way back when."

Simms has seemed to pump up josh Allen a couple times. I’d love this if true, but I wonder if Simms has a bias for some reason.

His dad LOVES Josh Allen, and was very vocal about how he was in his opinion the hands-down best QB in this draft, worthy of going #1 overall. That is high praise considering how harsh he is grading QBs coming out of college.

Who are these guys and why are they getting this story and not anyone local? This is the first positive review of Allen I've heard.

Dig deeper, they’re out there.  No, I won’t get links for you.  If that makes it nonexistent, so be it.  But he’s been impressive, some people just don’t want to hear it, or have selective hearing.  Not a comment on you, just sayin’. Of course running around in shorts doesn’t mean squat at this point.

That is not true.  There are several that have  a pretty high opinion of Josh Allen including former QB Trent Dilfer.

Allen Tweets were because of Ambien.....you heard it here first.

 

Difficult for me to get excited yet.  The issues with bad decision making and bad mechanics Josh appears to have are brought about by in-game pressure.  That is really the only true test.  We are going to have to all be patient.  There will be the occasional 3 interception half and a critical turnover that seals an opponents victory.  I am sure there is a cut Josh Allen thread or two in our future as a forum.

I hope so!  Most evidence suggests he'll be a career backup type player.

 

 

Don’t necessarily agree but will await the evidence I see from him in NFL games..

I laughed at your post because it is hilarious, most evidence suggests he has a chance to be great actually. Evidence is something real, not something you make up in your head. A chance is any chance at all. What are you saying?

He's just trolling.  

I have a neighbor like that, just says completely stupid things as if he's the real expert and knows more than everyone else.

 

Uh...yeah....you know... um Evidence and stuff.  Yeah ok dude, go back to watching CSI Wyoming.

 

We all know there are some years like EJ's draft where college doesn't produce a single franchise qb, and ultimately its an educated guess as to who will make it, but Allen is a heckuva prospect.

 

Funny that the current top qb's Brees, Rodgers and Brady were all in the bottom half of the first round or lower.  Definitely some luck involved.  We deserve to hit on this pick, and I think we will.

This is just poor trolling on your part - nothing has suggested he will be a career back-up player.  

 

If anything his his style and skill is totally boom or bust.  He will either become a franchise player or totally flame out.  

 

Brett Farve/Aaron Rodgers or Jamarcus Russell/Ryan Leaf

Give it time.  

 

Would 2 quarters of a pre-season game count or would he actually get to play 2 quarters of a regular season game BEFORE folks could dismiss him?

 

Inquiring minds want to know...

Sims was in NE when Dabol.  I enjoy the Simms and Lefkoe podcast.  Simms pulls some very good info from time to time.  Simms liked Allen alot.  He thought he was the most pro ready and would start way sooner then the media was projecting.  The part that makes me believe its more than just a big arm in shorts thing, was him saying its very similar to Wentz in Philly.  Its everything hes doing, not just on the field.  Coaches, players everyone is buzzing.

If he was throwing picks and looking bad it would be all over the place.  If Allen had a day similar to Mahomes, the media that thought Allen was a reach would crucify him.  Lets just face facts.  We are all homers here.  We are talking Buffalo Bills football to strangers on the internet 730 in the am 100 days before the season.

Pfff sure. Allen supporters here (going back pre-draft) have already written a list of excuses for this kid a mile long. It’s pathetic. If and/or when he flames out I will expect you in here front and center.

Here's the thing...  I have no problem admitting when I am wrong.

 

That said, I have not declared anything to be right or wrong about! 

 

I have been a fan long enough to earn the right to be HOPEFUL damnitall and I will gladly fight the negative Nelly's who detest anything positive.

 

If you are a Nelly - you are simply a killjoy and it must suck to be you.

I certainly am not actively rooting against allen, why would I? But this kid has more excuses and excuse makers on this board in a month than tyrod had during his whole tenure as a starter. Funny how that is.

 

some bitter sap posted a thread about how rosen was “lookin good” as if that means anything (much like this thread) and some stan just had to ape that guy’s headline word for word and sub in allen for rosen because they heard joe b say allen had a good day in shorts throwing against air as well.
