C.Biscuit97 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Very solid start for him. Definitely looks the part. The moment doesn’t seem to big for him. 18-32 (56%) for 176 yards, 5.5 ypa, 2 tds, and 47 yards rushing. I can’t remember having a big guy who could move like that in forever. The only rookie QB I could remember with a similar start (totally blanking on his name, props to someone if they can remember it!) was a guy through 2 games his first preseason: 26-33 (79%) for 199 yards, 6 ypa, 2 tds, 0 ints, and 29 yards rushing. but it’s pretty clear. We FINALLY have our Kelly replacement. Trust the process!!! P.S. what a terrible Bills fan I am for not remembering that qb’s name!!! ? someone please help me out! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 (edited) I knew this was an EJ thread before I opened it. Keep fighting the good fight! Edited August 20, 2018 by YoloinOhio 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadingpain Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 No, we got our Kelly replacement when EJ led the team to a comeback against Carolina. 5 years ago. At least that's what the 2BD brain trust told me at the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering if this was a Troll thread. I was going to ask if that was ever as in every team or just the Bills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a reminder that it’s ok to get excited but the preseason really is meaningless (though it’s so awesome to have football back). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasnt he Offensive rookie of the year and in a few more fizzled out. How about Vince Young, he was offensive rookie of the year and look where he landed, even JP Losman once healthy and had his best year when he had a ful season under him. Bad Qbs can get lucky and have some incredible early success until DCs learn how to game plan them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His accuracy had been good if you account for some miscommunication with receivers and dropped balls and players giving up on routes. All things to work on in pre-season. I for one am truly stunned, thus far how good he looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one am truly stunned, thus far how good he looks. I’m not stunned. I expected much of this with Allen. But I can see how many are stunned. How many disliked him. And how many thought he would fail. I will say that the poise and ability to learn from his mistakes so far has impressed me more than I thought.

eball Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 It is truly amazing, the lengths to which some will go to (a) protect themselves from being optimistic, and (b) prove themselves right.

It was kinda of joke but also goes to show how much everyone overreacts to everything. EJ was having just as good, if not slightly better, rookie preseason than Allen. Get excited but pump the brakes. And I want Allen to defy all statistical evidence and be a great qb. That will make me very happy.

Of course I'm a homer -- this is my team! And I take none of it personally; I actually empathize with those of you who need to prove yourselves right all the time.
