ColoradoBills Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 In order of importance to me........... 1. Stay healthy. 2. Get rid of the ball a little quicker. 3. Put some air under his screens and long balls. 4. Have a couple of game winning drives. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Greater pre/post snap recognition along with better poise, improved pocket presence, the ability to manipulate coverage and make accurate throws with touch, timing, and anticipation. All signs that the game is slowing down for him. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan5121 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Show growth. I’m not going to put a number on here like some have, some of which are great numbers for vets to achieve in 6 games, but just look like he belongs. Show signs. He can have down moments, but show flashes that we can point to that would suggest he can be a good/great one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might we also limit sacks taken to 2 per game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 (edited) stay healthy. continue to learn and learn from the mistakes you will make. grasp the speed of the game. also in this next game. don't cower down, use ramsey as motivation and show fans you are the future leader of this franchise? most importantly, stay healthy, you can only learn so much from the sidelines.

Augie Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Progress = Hope. I need HOPE! I’m much less concerned about wins/losses this year than I am getting him ready for future seasons (like, say, 20). End on a high note with a level of play that is generally above what we saw earlier. See the game slow down for him. Oh, and make everybody forget about Mahomes!!! ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 (edited) Not be the worst starting qb in the nfl like he was pre injury. i know people don’t want to hear it but he is off to a worst start to his career than EJ Manuel. I still think EJ was put in awful situation (just like we repeated with Allen now) but he never took the next step. I’m still not a fan of the pick but if he can take the next step (over 150 yards passing!!!), I would feel slightly better.

NewEraBills Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Trust protection - I know it's difficult Don't second guess throws Let it rip like Barkley did. Don't try to run around and play backyard football all the time The offensive designs are good. The QB has to make it go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's ironic is that his biggest critics are setting the most realistic expectations. The people looking for 250 plus yards a game and 10+ TD's are setting the bar too high and are in for serious disappointment. It's actually unfair to the kid. I just expect him to look like he belongs and show a modicum of consistency throwing the ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forcing a guy with questionable mechanics to play before he is ready on a crappy offense is so stupid. But it’s done now. And whether people want to admit it, done a dozen journeymen qbs like Anderson and Barkley moves the offense better than Allen did. i just want him to show some consistency. I know he has a cannon and is mobile but there’s so much more to being a nfl starting qb. Just look competent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never judged a QB on the team record and wouldn't do so with Josh Allen, either. Certainly, Mahomes didn't lose that game. That said, I want to see Josh Allen not lose.

Listen, he is gifted with the best "arm talent" in the league. If he can become a cerebral assassin, look out NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn’t that why we got rid of Tyrod? He won’t lose us games but he rarely won them. I know he’s young but man, I want more out of our highest drafted qb ever. 2 minutes ago, BuffAlone said: What I seen Mahommes do against a good Ram d-line was looking off the safeties before launching a dart.

I want that too but he hasn’t really shown he could do that on any level. College stats are overrated. But I think the really good nfl qbs looked dominated the majority of the time in college. Allen really never did that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
