I see it all the !@#$ing time. I have seen it less the past 2 weeks because we haven’t been passing as much. But it is pretty routine. I see a guy who only looks for his #1 receiver, and if they're not open he panics and tries to run. On 3rd downs, he barely looks at his primary read. You can tell before the ball is snapped that Allen is only thinking about running. There's no effort being made to try and read the defense when it's 3rd and less than 7 yards to go and we call a pass play. We're averaging 123 yards passing per game for a reason. Our QB is totally lost out there. Edited October 14, 2018 by jrober38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks like a complete deer in the headlights out there. The game is way too fast for him and his instinct is to just bail out of the pocket and run because that's what worked for him in college. Gotta learn how to play against men bailing is a college child’s trick the men in the nfL will knock your block off eventually if you keep running in chaos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again maybe you need to look that word up too - I am not crusading for anything. I don’t want him benched; I didn’t say drafting him was a mistake. I think you maybe read way too much into what I said. I have patience with regards to Allen and I hope you’re right. The whole thread was about Allen’s progression, up to this point. That’s all I was commenting on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixxxer Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 12 minutes ago, BananaB said: Allen is hesitating. Play to play it could be for different reasons. Peterman makes quick decisions and because of it he throws a shitload of INTs.... Pick your poison I guess. You could see that pick 6 coming from a mile away. That's the key, we as fan don't know what transpired on any given play. Maybe in one play the guy gets open but the OL doesn't hold, sometimes the OL gives the guy time and there's nobody open. Sometimes Allen bails too quickly on the play. We need to be patient, as I said earlier, Allen's progression won't be pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everybody thought Trunisky and Goff were garbage after their first years, i’m sure you were one of them. If they don’t start out fast their career is over right?

I usually like Lofton, sort of. At least I give him the benefit of the doubt. He was awful as an analyst all game today. Remarkably consistent in fact.

Whenever they show replays of Allen in the pocket, I find he's usually not looking down field. He's usually looking at the defenders around him, or trying to find the LB he needs to outrun for a first down. As soon as there's any pressure or his #1 guy isn't open, Allen's eyes drop. That's a really bad trait for a QB to have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they don’t start out fast their career is over right? For every guy like Goff who got significantly better after year 1, there are at least 5 guys who didn't get better and went on to be complete busts. Allen might be Goff, or he might be EJ Manuel, Kyle Boller, Akili Smith, Joey Harrington, Patrick Ramsey, JP Losman, Josh Freeman, Paxton Lynch, Blaine Gabbert, Brandon Weeden, Christian Ponder, Johnny Manziel, Jake Locker, Christian Hackenberg, Geno Smith, Jimmy Clausen, Brian Brohm, etc, etc, etc. Most QBs don't work out. The vast majority of QBs who were terrible year 1 don't go on to be successful franchise players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheElectricCompany Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 (edited) Can we run a Tim Tebow offense for Josh? Not many options when you have a terribly inaccurate, one read scrambler back there. Maybe we'll finish #1 in rushing, #32 in passing like the Broncos! And can we please stop comparing everyone to Goff and Trubisky? Keep in mind the massive turnaround those teams had. Can we pickup Khalil Mack? How about a MVP RB like Gurley? 3 great receivers like the Rams have (well, we had one of them) ? Those QBs took a big leap on their own, but the team around them is going to be very challenging to establish for Allen.

I haven’t seen any flashes from Allen yet, which is concerning because those other QBs were both busts. I think EJ will become legendary somehow lol. He wasnt as bad as most people thought. I wont compare him and Allen yet, HOWEVER I did think of EJ after reading the scouting report. STRONG arm big and big hands accuracy issues. A raw project. We weren't patient with EJ and we are not being patient either Allen. We have to be better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks like a guy who should have been picked in the 4th or 5th round who would compete for a roster spot. He looks completely outmatched out there. There's been no progress since the Bengals preseason game. You are absolutely wrong.....but that is nothing new for you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re talking like he’s halfway through his 3rd season. Glad you bailed on the “many had him as a 4th rounder” thing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
