TFBillsfan Posted August 10, 2018 Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) Not jockeying for him to start yet. But let’s at least give him some time with the two’s next game! Edited August 10, 2018 by TFBillsfan
Freddie's Dead Posted August 10, 2018 Posted August 10, 2018 We haven't seen an arm like Allen since Bledsoe, or possibly even going back to Lamonica. This guy should get some 1st or 2nd team reps. I get the urge to bring him along slowly, but Jesus he looks so good! 1

Just shows he needs time to develop. He made some really good throws as well. Expand I didn’t even want him drafted, but the criticism of his play with these sloppy third stringers is rediculous. If I’m a fan boy, you are a hater... 2

uticaclub Posted August 10, 2018 Posted August 10, 2018 He is was what was advertised, made some great plays with his arm & legs. Missed some throws that he should of had. He is still a project

I think he will be special when he is ready though. Expand That's the thing, he may never be ready for the NFL due to inaccuracy. I mean, everyone knew that before the draft... I think tonight he showed exactly what he is going to be. Some wow plays, but mostly too inconsistent. I know it's only one pre-season game, but if some fans are already anointing him as going to be great.

John from Riverside Posted August 10, 2018 Posted August 10, 2018 I would like to know how many of those missed throws were receivers running the wrong routes.....cuz he looked damn accurate on others. The nice thing about all of this is ALL of our QBs looked good. 1

The guy is not afraid to let it fly and i believe should start the season as our starter. His offensive line tonight were garbage and Robert Foster should be cut on Monday, the guy cannot track the ball and gave up on plays. The ball just explodes out of his hand, get him some receivers that can get open. Expand I think he will, in the last preseason game.??

BillsFan4 Posted August 10, 2018 Posted August 10, 2018 Hard to say he earned time with the 1’s over Nate or AJ tonight. Allen definitely showed flashes and oozes potential. But he looked like a rookie. There is absolutely no reason to rush him if AJ and/or Nate keep playing like they did. Give him time to develop. he could be something special. But he’s still raw. 1

Expand The pass to RAY RAY McLOUD, he is the only QB on the roster that makes that throw. The key to me is looked confident in the pocket despite lousy line play. 1
BillsFanForever19 Posted August 10, 2018 Posted August 10, 2018 At least the second team. With that O-Line and those WR's - how can you truly evaluate him? Robert Foster was running down the field 35 yards with his head turned one play and then inexplicably stopping on a go-route that ends in an overthrow on the next. I get not wanting to rush him. But on the flip side, playing with these guys who are going to be out of the league in a few weeks does him no favors. 1

He will likelu throw a few INT with too much youthful enthusiasm and desire to make every play? Yes. Inaccurate? Come on now. I saw none of that supposed dismal accuracy of his. Immense potential. He is exciting as hell! He's like the opposite of Tyrod. You can sense he'll throw twice as much INTs as TT and make some dumb mistakes that make you cringe... but also double the TDs and some WOW plays in there! Opposing defenses will have nightmares as they have to cover deep on every play. His stretching of the filed might even open Shady for some big runs.

Expand 9/19 = 47% his college percentage in 2017 was 56% He needs to improve in this area before he can start. Ideally the floor is 60%, and from what we saw tonight he has a long way to go.
