Bocephuz Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) I think it is safe to assume that everyone has seen the TD bomb to Foster and justfiably so that play is getting much attention as an example of JA climbing pocket and throwing a strike. While that throw was incredible.. the 19 yd throw to Foster shown below from 3q :12 mark is even better IMO - Allen stands tall in the pocket .. - Hit as he releases the ball - Throws with velocity over the middle - Gets it over /around 3 defenders to Foster for a first down That's as good as it gets right there...

Mike in Horseheads Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 (edited) I don't know if it was better but is was real NFL QB throw, something we haven't seen here at least on our team in a long time.

fergie's ire Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Quote What jumped out to me on his college highlight tape...and what has continued to impress me at the pro level...are his throws to receivers 20-30 yards downfield. The ball just gets there sooo fast. There was similar throw in Sundays game that was dropped...though can't remember who dropped it. If he hits those consistently, he's going to be a hell of a quarterback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bocephuz Posted November 30, 2018 Author Share Posted November 30, 2018 indeed.. it's been so long since we've seen that . That 's what real qbs do.. stand in the pocket.. take a hit and deliver the velocity is noticeable... its' definitely a fastball. Consistency is key.. but if he can make 2 of those types of throws per game going forward like he did last week we'll be in good shape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRHater69 Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I don't want to sound like I'm piling on Tyrod because I liked him as a player, but there were several throws last week that Allen made because he's got the height to not only see over the rush, but also to get the proper ark on the ball. Taylor couldn't do that so it's nice to see this. I agree with the OP that this throw was quality stuff. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Now we just need some guys to protect him and a couple others that can catch his fastballs 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 The bomb to Foster was one of the most impressive plays I've ever seen on a physical level. The other throw to Foster was more impressive on a mental level and those are the throws he'll need to make consistently to move the chains. So I get what you're saying but the bomb was still the best throw of the game. Good chance it will end up being one of the best throws of his career when all is said and done. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor's limitations throwing over the middle wasn't due to his not being tough or not wanting to take a hit.. he just physically couldn't see or make those throws. It sure is nice to have 6'5 strong armed qb who can see/throw over defenders and still get zip on the ball even when taking a hit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PolishPrince Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 The other throw that really impressed me was the 20 yard 3rd down hook route on the sideline to McKenzie. Absolute bullet of a throw and put it right on his numbers. Shame a stupid penalty wiped this out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billspro Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 They are both unbelievable throws. I don’t understand how he was able to be accurate on either of them. Hopefully we can get this kid a real oline next year. This oline is forcing him to get the ball out quick which might be good for his development in the long run. There are only a couple of QBs in the NFL that can make either of those throws. I’m really excited about the future. 28 minutes ago, John from Riverside said: I would rather improve the offensive line so he isnt taking the hit That will be the key to consistency. The QB should not be being hit on either of those throws, but it’s nice to see him make a spectacular play when needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgil Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 TD was better. Hit the guy in stride and threw him open. Deeper makes the accuracy harder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
