Niagara Dude Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) The kid can sling for sure and moves very well in the pocket, i like what saw tonight. 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. Edited August 10, 2018 by Niagara Dude 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreggTX Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) The camp bodies around him and on the 2nd half defense played poorly, but that's no surprise. Most of them will be gone soon anyways. I too would like to see him get that chance, but even so... I saw some good things, but I also saw that his reputation for inaccuracy is well founded. It wasn't all bad, though. He might have been able to hit that deep ball to Foster if he'd kept running, but a couple throws were way off.

Bobby Hooks Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Playing Allen now would be akin to eating undercooked, nicely spiced sausage. Im sure it would taste good now but it would eventually make you sick and could potentially kill you. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jokeman Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Allen was good but Peterman and McCarron were better. Keep Allen developing. Maybe put him with the twos next week late in the 2nd and most of preseason game 4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billspro Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 He needs to make decisions quicker. He is going to take too many hits if he plays like that. I think he will be special when he is ready though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie's Dead Posted August 10, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think tonight he showed exactly what he is going to be. Some wow plays, but mostly too inconsistent.

BillsFan4 Posted August 10, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanForever19 Posted August 10, 2018 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Ideally the floor is 60%, and from what we saw tonight he has a long way to go. Edited August 10, 2018 by MURPHD6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
