Steptide Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I'll start by saying that I'm not 100% sold on Allen just yet. I think he has areas he needs to improve on, and we may not see some of those improvements this year. Having said that, I was blown away by his play today. The first half was pretty dismal, but the second half may just be his best play all year. One thing I really like about him, is that he has been using multiple recievers. Part of that could be dabolls's scheme. If I'm remembering correctly, he hit zay, Benjamin, Thompson, DiMarco, foster, mckenzie and shady. I was just as upset as anyone here after we lost today, but I think McDermott and beane found a gem. Allen hates to lose and he has that same fire Kelly had. I'm just picturing Allen a year or even two years from now with talent. Lookout afc. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnychemo Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I look forward to seeing what an offseason of work on his game with the resources he’ll have available to him as an NFL QB will do for his game. I expect a big step forward in 2019. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxx Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 (edited) so... you're not completely sold on Allen, but you think he will get us to the AFC championship game? huh, one might wonder what you would believe were you 100% sold on him...

John from Riverside Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I mean nobody REALLY knows but common sense says if you put better players around Allen then he should also be better. Lots of good mixed in there now on a bad team...the question becomes HOW MUCH better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because we've been dow this road before. Losman, Edwards, Fitz. All had flashes of greatness. Like I said Allen needs to improve in certain areas, and if he can do that, then yes I believe he will be fantastic and this team will be competing for a superbowl.

That's a big if Fitz maybe, but Losman and Edwards didn’t show any greatness for me. Fitz had a few games he looked like a real gunslinger here but faded once the tape was out. Weve definetly never had this much potential at quarterback, it’s easy to get excited. Just gonna have to see if this kid can work hard enough to reach that potential. If we’re aiming high, he has the potential to be a top 3-5 quarterback in this league with his tools of running and arm strengths.. But that’s light years away if he ever gets there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterDude Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) If it wasn't for his running, he'd be a pretty meh QB. Unfortunately, the running aspect of his game will be the first thing to fade in terms of skills or possibly injury.

Success Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I think we’re closer than most would guess. He is getting great experience right now. That last drive, on the road - even though it didn’t pan out, you can’t replicate that in practice. We finally have our QB, and can load up this offseason. Now if Brady would just retire...

I'd maybe take losman off that list, but Edwards and Fitz definitely played outstanding for the bills for a short time. Edwards in 08 started 5-1 and looked like the next Kelly. Then got injured and was never the same. Fitz pulled the impossible and beat Brady and the Pats in 2011 and started 5-2 only to drop off again like Edwards. Allen has a much better skill set than both those guys, and I'm pretty sure he'll get better, but there is no gaurentee of that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheektowaga Chad Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 He needs guys he can trust. He doesnt trust the offensive line and doesnt have a go to receiver The line gets improved and we get a legit wr, we will improve ten fold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
