Allen is a budding superstar

It's bit early, don't you think?  He looks promising but he's only 2 games into his career.

Still too early.


Great game today though and he is showing signs of progress.

 

 

 

Care to point out what his issues are ?

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.

That makes a lot of sense Wyoming barely won their last game and I think a big part of it was finally letting their QB throw it when they didn't have another choice.

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?

Came out wrong and edited, that list was were I had them before the draft.

 

Right now it looks like

Baker

Allen

Darnold

 

Jackson and Rosen are null due to no playing time.

He played a great game.  Still a bone headed play or two but its ok he will learn from it  Physically he's stronger than I thought.  Someone mentioned Cam Newton and watching the Vikings trying to handle him its not far off.   Intangibles look great.  I'm excited to see what he plays like in those muddy/snowy/windy games That size and run ability is going to carry games.

Can't wait to see the progression through this year. He straight balled today. I pray he can stay healthy with his style of play.

 

Next year give this kid a couple studs at the WR position and a better O-line and look out baby.

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. 

 

The td that KB dropped was cash money homie

? Before someone burns all their “confused” emojis on this thread, I’ll just clarify: In my opinion, Allen looks awesome at this stage of his career. Way ahead of where I thought he’d be; I was a Baker guy before the draft. But I reserve terms like “superstar” for players like Brady, Rodgers, Brees. I suppose you could call someone like Wentz or Mahomes a “budding superstar.” Allen’s not there yet, but, in any case, I like the enthusiasm.

Watched the game with a group of Eagles, Panthers, and Giants fans at a friends house.  (3 TVs going at once with 3 different games).  

 

The crowd didn't know Josh Allen well before the game, but they all knew his name after the game.  

 

General consensus was he reminded them of a blend of Cam Newton and John Elway during today's game.

 

GoBills!  Go Josh Allen!

Excellent comp

The game is clearly not to big for him. He has poise that is surprising for a second start rookie.

Not sure if anyone saw the on field interview after the game. Handled it like a vet.

I love that they gave him the dump off option and coached him to use it. It set up the TD to Croom which the defenders so egregiously bit on.

Really happy with his performance and I’ll say the same of Allen that I did of Mayfield. Lots to like but still some concerns. It's early but the early returns are looking good.

 

I want to see better ball security in the pocket from both. They need to learn just to put the ball in their gut and make sure they don’t lose it.

Would you trade a 1st down for a season having Josh Allen under center?

 

I certainly would not

 

Good for you.     His knee cleared Anthony Barr.   He is healthy and played the rest of the game.   

 

You worry too much.   Players gotta play.

When they review the tape of this game, they should sneak in the footage of Garrapolo's presumed ACL injury suffered today... We all love Allen's intensity and daring but he is too valuable to risk serious injury on a play like that... On the plus side we have already seen that Josh knows how to slide when appropriate...

Let's not get too crazy after one game. I loved the way Allen and the offense in general looked. They seemed to feed off his energy and play. But in the NFL fluky things happen. You can't get too high or too low based off of one game. I am not trying to down play this game. The Vikings have a great defense easily top 10 if not top 5 in the league and Allen played extraordinary against them. But once again this is just one week. Every year each team has 2 games where they come out flat and 2 games where they look like world beaters. 

 

I loved what I saw from Allen but there still is a long way to go.

Of course not. After 2 and a half games we can't say anything definitive about anyone. Can we say it looks encouraging? 

 

Absolutely. Browns fans are rightly excited from Thursday and Bills fans are rightly excited tonight. 

This pretty much sums it up for me as well. Looked great today, just hope it stays consistent. Very encouraging though.

I would rather not see the hurdle over a player play ever again......but Josh Allen is OUR QB

 

I don’t want to see it again, either, but you gotta think his teammates gotta love playing with a guy like that and are more likely to give everything they have for him.

Said this in the game thread but he had four turnovers this game that didn't result in actual turnovers due to sheer dumb luck: dropped INT in the 1st Q + three fumbles we recovered. Kid was much better but he still has a long ways to go.

Our OL played stellar today.

 

 The Vikings really missed Everson Griffin.  He’s a monster.    

 

Vikings bad penalties early really helped us set the tone

 

Allen played like a season vet 95% of the time.  

 

Our WRs suck.

 

Tremaine and Milano played lights outs

 

im going to start wearing my Jerry Hughes jersey again instead of Tremaine . JEEERRRYYYYYYYYU!!

 

im impressed
