Buffalo Barbarian Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 (edited) I have been (and still am) willing to let Allen sit all year if need be and shouldn't start UNTIL he is ready. That said with how he is doing so far he is showing more than the other QBs and I believe that he will win the competition. Man it feels good to have a franchise QB !!! Go Bills !!!

H2o Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Been saying this all along, that Allen would beat out these other two guys. It's not much for competition really. Hopefully he shows well once the pads go on and the defense starts really getting after him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McBean Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 I’m all for Allen and I’m cautiously optimistic but... There’s only been 3 practices so far. Still very very early. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 (edited) I’m moving my chips that way. Still early but we know this regime has zero issue throwing rookie QBs out there if they think they are their best chance to win - for better or for worse. And his competition is just not strong.

TigerJ Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 I'm not hoping for a specific winner in the QB competition. I am hoping it doesn't drag on for too long. Originally I predicted McCarron would be the winner, but the trend certainly looks like Allen can pull it out. 1 minute ago, klos63 said: You can't win the job after day 3 with no pads.

billspro Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 I hope Allen can continue to stack good practices. The other QBs are very limited. Allen is the only one that is going to be able to create explosive plays. I do think AJ will be a good backup though, I’m happy he is on the team. Hopefully Nate can learn from AJ and develop into a good backup. 9 minutes ago, TigerJ said: I'm not hoping for a specific winner in the QB competition. I am hoping it doesn't drag on for too long.

theRalph Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Josh Allen is winning this job. How refreshing to see some separation starting to manifest on day three of camp...rather than week three. We all know what that looks like. It’s interesting that Allen had the most adversity in his college career of the 5 first round QBs and will be the first of them to start. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsPride12 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 At this point Josh should be standing out...there's a huge difference in ability between a guy who went #7 overall v.s. two guys who were 5th round picks. I'm very happy to hear Josh is showing some separation in these early practices but I think the big thing with Josh is how will he handle reading NFL defenses and the overall speed of processing information as a starting NFL quarterback. He is behind in that category because of his football experience so far playing for small schools and playing with and against lesser competition. If he can pick up the mental aspects to a "decent" degree than there's no way the other guys have a shot because Josh has all the natural ability in the world. Something also tells me Beane and McDermott would not have taken a shot on a kid that they didn't think had it upstairs so part of me is excited to see if he can adjust to the speed of the NFL quickly. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That he played about as good as the other two and when the pads came on he did much better. Its early but he has way more talent and if he keeps improving he should start.

Scorp83 Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 First let me say... I'm still not sold, & I'm not slapping butts just yet...lol. But, from the videos, & what I've been reading from camp, Josh Allen is doing well. That's good... Sal Capaccio gives a good breakdown in case anyone wants more in depth. I will still disagree with the pick until he proves it otherwise. But so far, after 3 days... not bad...not bad at all. CAPACCIO: Allen already a factor in QB race | WGR 550 SportsRadiohttps://wgr550.radio.com/articles/opinion/capaccio-allen-already-factor-qb-race "Taking all of that in and looking at the big picture, it’s clear Allen is a legitimate option to become the team’s starter week one at the Baltimore Ravens. Of course there is still a long way to go and he hasn’t been perfect by any means, but to anyone watching practice, from fans in the stands to local or national media on the sidelines, there’s no doubting who the most naturally gifted QB is on the field every day. For Allen to be taking reps with the first team already is somewhat surprising given that he was exclusively with the third string offense throughout OTAs and mostly through minicamp" - Sal 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kota Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 Sal needs to get a clue. There is nothing surprising about Allen getting first team reps. He got first team reps in mini camp. It's only continuing because he is earning them. I swear these guys cannot get over the crap coaches in the past that would just give people jobs without earning it.

And of course Allen is going to get first team reps! He's going to be the week 1 starter. I'm sure McD and crew have a road map planned for the QB rotations and how they want to get it done, but it should be no surprise that Allen is the priority in training camp Well, for Sal C., maybe that is a surprise.

There is also some commentary that he is the best so far at making throws against pressure.......so there is that. In the end...I think the qbs on this team will be Josh Allen and AJM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
