Stank_Nasty Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 My best buddy is a lifelong “Stiller” diehard. This last Sunday was the first time we’ve gotten to sit down and watch ball together this year. After a half he says “You know, this guy reminds me a lot of Ben”.... I just nodded while wearing a grin from ear to ear. Personally I think he’s a better athlete while being a less refined passer but I think it’s a solid comparison regardless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring it Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Ben never ran that fast in his dreams! Other than that there is a lot of similarities. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrownBear Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Similar in strength, but Allen is a freak athlete. Ben not so much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Hindsight Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I walked away Sunday thinking the Bills had found a stud. Allen looks like he belongs out there.

Logic Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 He's sort of a Cam Newton/Big Ben hybrid in terms of his size, scrambling ability, and escapability. That's a hell of a combo. If he goes on to have a career as good as the former, then it was a good pick. If he goes on to have a career as good as the latter, it was a home run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bills11 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) in stature he reminds me of big ben size and everything..but ive always thought his play style was more like a young john elway when he first came in the league that or cam newton ..hes def more similar to cam then roethlisberger imo Edited November 30, 2018 by bills11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victory Formation Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 What a breath of fresh air Allen and the Allen family has been. This guy was vilified during the draft process, nice to see him earning some praise. Could not of happened to a better guy. The fire he brought last week reminded me of Brady or Rivers. Guy plays with serious balls, does whatever it takes to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobChalmers Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 They called him "baby" Big Ben, the word "mini" appears no where in the article - why the thread title??

YodaMan79 Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Hopefully he's a lot smarter then Ben. He needs to stay off motorcycles and out of seedy bathrooms and not force women to do things against their will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
