34-78-83 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I think you could see it in him in his 1st Pre-season showing. I'm very happy and surprised he's progressed this far this soon. He should keep getting better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobChalmers Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 My problem with this is the implication that most draft experts didn't like Allen - that's simply not true. Lots of draftniks loved him - Mayock and Kiper were both big fans. Some even had him going #1 overall to Cleveland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerome007 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I recall many "experts" putting him among the top picks. Some even at #1. And most placed him with the Top 5 QBs to go. It's a few that said "project" and "bust" that the gloom'n'doom posters hatched on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDH Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 (edited) Until a QB does it consistently over the course of multiple years it’s too early.

The Now Moment Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Way too early to declare him anything but I will say, everyone needs to stop looking at college players stats and watch them actually play the game.

John from Riverside Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 The ones that admire his work ethic will say they knew it all along The ones who hated him before and when we drafted him will find a way to defend their opinion This was against the Vikings in their own home....a team that was supposed to be a Super Bowl favorite 1 minute ago, COTC said: Too early... and I rest my case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KOKO NFL Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 25 minutes ago, NewDayBills said: This isn't a told you so thread, I wanted us to draft Allen but I did not expect this. 3 TDs, but should have been 4 but Benjamin dropped that EZ TD. McCloud also dropped that huge bomb. The guy is even better than I thought, I'm glad they were so fearless in the way they used him, I was yelling at my TV telling him to get down every time he ran the ball, the Superman TD run where he hit the pylon was something Cam Newton would do. This is Allen's team, Shady is no longer our best player, Josh Allen is the franchise. Robert Foster dropped the bomb, not McCloud. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuckyBoys Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Think he continues to get better and better.

TheElectricCompany Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 (edited) Good performance. I wasn't blown away with some of the throws, but hey, he made 'em when he had to. I had some crow with lunch today. The O-line played better than expected, the scheme got him some great looks, and the playmakers will killing it with YAC. There will be many bumps in the road for him. He needs to continue improving and things will work out.

8-8 Forever? Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 (edited) Trust the process. McBeanes know what they are doing. A couple of huge strip sacks made a massive difference in this game, but that's the way wins happen on the road, turning easily predicted losses into "shocking upsets" . Off we go. Next week could be completely different. Turnovers win games. Take the W and run. Edited September 23, 2018 by 8-8 Forever? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BB@Shooter Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Go look at where Wyoming ends up offensively every year under Vigen as their OC. They are almost dead last every year. What you saw in the second half of the Minnesota game today is how Vigen caled games for Wyoming. And then one wonders why his stats were so bad at Wyoming. All it takes is a little research. I have been saying all along Allen is a winner. It may not always be pretty, but he will win more often than not. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im curious as to why you would take Rosen who hasnt played, is a known dbag and has injury issues... AND Darnold (who I dont think looks that good at all) over Allen. Can you at least explain what you see in Darnold over Allen since at least Darnold has played? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
