SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 (edited) https://www.buffalobills.com/news/bills-today-mike-mccarthy-calls-allen-a-stud Throughout his 25-year professional coaching career, the Green Bay Packers head coach has worked with some of the best passers in NFL history. McCarthy coached Brett Favre to a 4,000-yard season as Green Bay’s quarterbacks coach in 1999. “I think he’s done some really nice things,” McCarthy said. “I think you have to be excited about when your rookie quarterback wins games. he’s a stud of an athlete, you can see that in his ability to run.” Edited September 27, 2018 by ShadyBillsFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemma Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I think he is every bit as effective a runner as Tyrod. Big man that moves really well. Stay healthy … 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stay healthy … Actually, I would offer that he's better. While obviosly not as fast, he will actually try and throw before he runs most times that Ive noticed. Also he's very good at situational football, gets what he needs however he can. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 Allen is the white version of Cam Newton, with a stronger arm and who hopefully turns into the more consistent passer of the two. I think the Elway comparisons are not that far fetched if he continues to improve with his reads, timing, and footwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CuddyDark Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 (edited) His running changes everything about the offense, because we have limited talent on that side of the ball. If they can get him for 30 or 40 yards per game they could be more competitive and probably win more games. 4 minutes ago, teef said: why would you say that kev? are you trying too hard again? He already sees the field better than Bortles. Has to keep improving though. Edited September 27, 2018 by CuddyDark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has to keep improving though. at this early stage, i think so too. kev is just a colorful poster, and i was wonder what his logic was by comparing allen to brotles.

He's not as fast as Tyrod but at the same time he's nowhere near as lanky. Tyrod would've never been able to make the hurdle over Barr because Barr never would've shyed away from Tyrod. Taking on Allen with a full head of steam is gonna make many defenders think twice and in turn " brace for impact". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am happy to have a real QB and not the other way around disagree. he avoided some pressure with some quick hops to the left then to the right and made a pass vs the Chargers In 2.5 games Josh has had 11 sacks compared to Tyrod's 13 sacks in 2.5 games Edited September 27, 2018 by ShadyBillsFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have to chase him. It tires the rush for later in the game. Take sacks, just don't turn it over. Especially if defense is playing well. Aaron Rodgers takes a lot of sacks too.
