Allen isn't even the strongest armed QB we've had on the Buffalo Roster in the past 2 years.

Allen has a gun, Cardale Jones has a cannon

If arm strength mattered, Cardale Jones would be our starting QB.

And on the other hand, Tom Brady has done pretty well with his noodle arm............

I wonder if his injury will have long term effects on his arm strength.  I hope not.

 

 

 

You've seen the 1993 movie, Rookie of the Year, right? Josh will be fine...maybe even better.

I haven’t seen any deep balls he’s thrown in the NFL games that have proven he has a strong arm. He’s thrown a few lasers. But nothing deep that puts me in awe of his incredible arm. Mahomes on the other hand has thrown some bombs that have made my jaw drop 

You haven't noticed that he has a strong arm?

[wppete]

Right now on the NFL I would say Allen, Mahomes and Cam Newton have the strongest arms in the league. 

[buffalobillswin]

Yup he and Jamarcus Russel both had really strong arms!

Exactly. The winds in Orchard Park are child's play for him.

 

He has the 4th most wins at Rich/Ralph/New Era all time. Only Kelly, Ferguson and Brady's creator, Drew Bledsoe, won more there. 

 

Needing top end arm strength to play at New Era is a myth.

You haven’t noticed that every time he tries to throw the deep ball it’s seriously underthrown? If not, then I really cannot continue to argue this with you because you are blinded. 

 

 

[TigerJ]

I'm not sure that the arm strength of Jamarcus Russell was ever documented, but you could almost disqualify him since he was a total dud.  Otherwise, I don't think there is anybody else who can match Allen for documented arm strength.

[targetweight185]

Allen has a rocket launcher. Cardale Jones has a cannon. Nathan Peterman has a .22.

Not really, but folks need something to cling to in terms of a positive measurable coming from Allen's game.

 

EJ had a strong arm too.  Was also a big, strong, athletic guy who could run.

 

Arm strength doesn't mean a lot if there's nothing to go with it.

Chad Pennington, and he had himself a decent career.

Mahomes has a strong arm no doubt.  Allen had a TD pass to Benjamin that I couldnt hardly see the ball.  I also watch him throw the ball about 65 yards off balance.

 

Now Ive only been watchin football for 30 years, but I have never saw an arm like his.

Marino, Elway, Favre are close but not quite.  Mahomes has a cannon but not like Allen.

I think some of his low completion percentage may be because he needs to take a little juice off it.

But he has to learn how to be accurate and know when to throw it gently. If he isn’t accurate nothing matters

When he can regularly get the deep ball downfield without the WRs having to stop and come back for it... come talk to me.

True I think consistent is the more accurate word though.

Actually he usually overthrows them by quite a bit.

Maybe you should pay a little better attention.

You must be one of those Mahomes fanboys.  I wish we drafted him too but we didnt, get over it. His arm isnt as strong as Allens.  Thats not speculation that is fact.  Now if you want to say Mahomes is the better QB right now you can because that is a fact.

Actually I wasn’t a fan of Mahomes. I was a fan of Allen. I don’t think Mahomes would be any good on this team because our team and coaching staff is terrible. 

 

I was an Allen ballsucker just like you are now. But I’ve learned. He has underthrown almost every deep pass he’s thrown all year. When he learns how to throw the deep ball without his WRs having not stop and come back for the ball, you can come talk to me. 

 

Or you can just keep thinking you know what you are talking about. Either way, I don’t give a damn. He isn’t going to be any good under this coaching staff and they will continue to have a job going forward and continue ruining Allen going forward.

[#34fan]

Means bupkiss without accuracy and timing.... Two things Allen won't improve on here... When these twits are done with him, he'll have a great shot at being a backup for a reputable team.

[Bing Bong]

JaMarcus Russell.. Jay Cutler.. as Favre would say.. "who gives a ****?"

[ColoradoBills]

Josh Allen's elbow injury will cause a change in his delivery resulting in him becoming the most accurate QB in history.

It's fate.

Maybe if Russell bothered to train or learn the offense, he could have done ok. They gave Russell a blank tape several times to see if he watched the game plan for that week against the next opponent, and he would say he watched it. Of course when he said he watched it and never complained that the tape was blank, they knew he didn't watch it.  Big difference between him and Allen. So your comment was weak.

[richardb1952]

So Bills have a QB with strongest arm ever with WRs that can't separate and OL that can't pass block.  Doesn't look like a recipe for success.

The big hands strong arm throw in the cold BS will prove out to be McBeane's downfall.

I dont think that is a problem.  The problem is processing and anticipating and accuracy.  Playing QB requires a number of skills.  Arm strength alone is breasts on bull.

[The Process]

Are we talking about arm wrestling? It's the only "sport" where it matters. Once a QB can throw a fastball it's doesn't matter if it's the fastest. The pass only has to be fast ENOUGH.
