Question: If Josh Allen develops enough to be considered as good as Ferguson, is that acceptable to you?

Expand  

 

Nope - Ferguson was barely adequate enough for the era that he played in.   

 

Allen either needs to be much more (so that we finally have a QB worthy of a second contract) or much less (so that we QUICKLY know that we drafted a dud and can move on)

Why is it that I expect him to be firmly in the middle? 

 

Just because we’re Bills fans......

I agree, great arm but just could not get the job done at times!

Yeah, seemed to me he suffered from some sort of depression. Whenever he’d hang his head, his day was finished -even if it was in the 2nd quarter! Maddening!

Still, he was a 3rd round pick, started in the 3rd game of his rookie season (Rich Stadium’s 1st Home Game) and we enjoyed many thrilling moments courtesy of his grit and rifle arm. He had a fine, long career.

Fergy used to hang out at some bar on Oliver Street in North Tonawanda to watch the Razorbacks play on Saturdays - maybe Klimeks? Smerlas and Haslett used to drop in to McKays Third Base on Oliver Street just down the road from Klimeks!

Fergie is still TOP 50 in all time passing yards   ... retired around top 20

 

He has more yards than Terry Bradshaw... 

 

Since the Bills came to the NFL he is easily their second best QB. It was a different era

A 7-9 team that, with just a few breaks, could have been 10-6 and won the division.  Close home loses to Chicago, Baltimore and Miami were all winnable. 

 

1979 set the table though for the breakthrough 1980 season.
