I understand that none of want to see him injured, but I didn't see Brett Favre throwing balls away very often and it turned out pretty well for him career AND longeivity wise.Maybe it's just me, but I like a gunslinger mentality. Gunslinger mentality is fine.. And making a play is fine. ITS TIME AND PLACE. Situation: 3rd and 16 . Bills 22 yard line. Bills 14-10. 12 minutes left 4th quarter Josh gets pushed out and scrambles right. Buying time he realizes nobody is open ... throw it away? Or force into double coverage? you throw it away every time... he has to learn time and place. Trying to do too much sometimes can lead to bad results It’s something he will learn with time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we can agree that he's a very young kid who'll get better at this over time. Certainly nothing I'm worried about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is long overdue. Again throwing it into double coverage off Your back foot is not smart hero ball... it’s something that can be worked on people act like I said , don’t make plays lol throwing into double coverage while scrambling off your back foot is The very definition of not smart hero ball throw that ball away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-9 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 19 hours ago, TigerJ said: Trying to make a big play when it just isn't there - forcing a pass into coverage when nobody is open. The hero ball QB does this because he has absolute faith that his skills are always superior. That’s the definition of hero ball and it can be a hard lesson to learn at the pro level because typically these QBs were always better than their competition. Not so much in the NFL.

H2o Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Of course they discussed it, but LA didn't want to come off of the two 1st Rounders and three 2nds it would take to get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CincyBillsFan Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 The way I look at it is that you can't teach a QB to WANT to play Hero Ball and you can't teach a QB to WANT to be a gunslinger. Those seem like innate skill sets. However, you can teach a QB to temper both of those attributes. Seems to me on this subject Allen has EXACTLY what you want in a QB.

I don't buy much merchandise but I've ordered quite a bit for Christmas. I don't do jerseys but there's a treasure trove of memorabilia available. I ordered some items which are somewhat spoofy but I know the youngsters will love them. Edited December 21, 2018 by BillsSB2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Receivers will need to know that's the way it is. They may have to learn a little DB to minimize the negative effects. LOL It will be a must to learn to come back to the ball when JA scrambles.
