Hebert19 Posted December 20, 2018 Share Posted December 20, 2018 (edited) I've been part of this board or other boards for as long as there have been boards. I started back in the drew Bledsoe days on the buffalo range. Boy did we hate poor Drew. Hes a statue. League is going toward mobile quarterbacks. Hes a dinosaur. Enter losman...hes mobile. But wow he wasnt the answer. Not very smart and inaccurate. We need a passer. Enter trent. Hes accurate but he checks down too much. We need someone to push the ball down the field. Enter fitz. Hes too much of a cowboy and tries to push the ball too much and is turnover prone as a result. Enter EJ. Big. Check. Strong arm. Check. Somewhat mobile. Check. But he needs to sit for a while. Oh wait. Kolb fell. Toss him to the wolves. He's terrible. Cut him. Worst draft pick ever. Enter orton...who most actually liked. But we still complained that he was too stationary. A statue. Need more mobility. Enter tyrod. Holy *****. Hes mobile but here we go with the checkdowns ahain. Cant we just have both. Enter Allen. A mobile guy. With a cannon. That NEVER checks down. Pushes the ball. And for the most part does an ok job protecting the ball. And we complain that hes inaccurate. But if he checked down more to improve the accuracy numbers. We would B word that he checks down too much. My point. Enjoy the ride. Allen 10x the talent level of any of these bozos. He doesnt have great accuracy stats not because he's I Inaccurate but because if he needs 10 yards he throws it 15. We saw Stafford complete more passes last week but on 2 huge plays he threw 5 yard passes on 3rd and 8. Would that make you happy? Once allen learns to take the easy yardage with his arm the same way he does with his legs the numbers will come...and we will have nothing to complain about. This guy tries to make plays every damn time he has the ball. Which is exciting. Once he realizes we can score 5 yards at a time too....look out.

(worth whatcha pay for it)... I think Allen lacks confidence in his ability to throw the checkdown accurately when he's on the move He will throw it, and throw it decently, when it's a designed short pass (we saw some in his first couple starts) But by definition, a "checkdown" means either you've looked downfield, nothing there, checking down to your outlet OR Have read and understood from the D there will be nothing downfield in the time the D gives you, BOOM get it out now Allen doesn't have enough experience/understanding to do the latter very often yet The OL doesn't give him enough time to do the former - usually by the time he's looked downfield he needs to move He can't throw the short stuff accurately on the run yet So he just runs 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen him on the run NOT make the “easy” toss to an open RB, and just go. Let the RB take the beating! THEY are generally replaceable! But I will say I was very encouraged to see more short throws last week. He CAN do it, and he showed some nice touch at times. Progress and hope. That’s what this season is about.

When the game slows down for Josh, his entire game will improve because he'll recognize the difference. This is going to be crucial in his development. We need to understand that progression was likely to be the last thing to come for Josh as he was viewed as extremely raw coming in. He's an extremely bright guy so I believe he'll pick it up and thrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bing Bong Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I 100% am just saying this for perspective. But we could pile on JA and have him out of town in 4 years as another "loser" spouting hyperbole that he doesn't belong in the league and root for him to fail for the rest of his career. Just as we peaked with Tyrod's first year, spouted excuses for any EJ or JP mistake, thought we struck gold with early Fitz, and were enamored with Bledsoe. Not saying I think this will happen. Allen is by far looking the best of the bunch in almost every way.. but we are &&&&& about former quartetbacks. We rewrite history like Tyrod didn't save us from potentially the biggest dog**** quarterback camp we've ever seen. We have more sympathy for %%%%%%% PETERMAN than we do any former starting Quarterback. I guess when you can love so hard. You learn to hate so hard. *Moderated for content ($) Do not attempt to circumvent the foul language barrier* 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's a matter of "learning to take the easy yardage, he's not seeing a whole bunch of wide open guys, several each week, often on key plays, that he's going to have to correct. If he can do that, I agree, it'll be a ride. If not however, he won't ever amount to being more than an average passer if he's lucky. Take a look at his splits in the Red Zone sometime and compare it to any QB you want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I never hated Fitz for what it is worth. I reluctantly came to the conclusion he wasn't the guy but I always, always loved Fitz. I think he understood the fan base and where the franchise was and what it had been through better than any other QB we have had. I have never rooted for a team to make it more than that hot start Chan team. They were the likeable Bills even if ultimately lack of talent and depth was their undoing. Allen definitely has some of that same fire and competitive edge that Fitz had and I think he understands how long we have been looking for "the guy". Let's hope the search is over. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddaryl Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 I have watched Allen like all of you the whole year... He has progressed some in his passing game, and showed off some mad scrambling ability, knows how to slide or get out of bounds, and has shown some smarts in when to throw the ball away and not take a negative play.... More importantly at the end of his rookie season, He has not regressed in any facet of his game. He does bring excitement in the form of being the exact opposite type of QB we've had here for almost 2 decades post Jimbo. A non check down, not smallish, but the cannon arm that actually needs to be tamed a bit and that uncanny ability to be a big boy scrambler. A strong finish will cement most fans offseason confidence. A pair of ho hum games to end the season will leave the offseason up for lots debate... Would love to see Allen have that game where he locks horns with Brady and we see some of his ceiling on display... Now that would really make the offseason exciting. Either way with both Allen and Edmunds looking good I'm going to be ok this year I think. It will definitely be nice to be able to be thinking about something else besides a starting QB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it's something they work on with him all spring and summer, and I really hope it will come together as he gets more experience. If it does, the rest of the league should be worried.

We are some spiteful pr***s Just revisit the 30 page long week 3 TNF thread where he got bench and ask yourself if we're talking about TNF or Tyrod because we broke a crappy game TNF post record that night. I think a little bit of that was a reaction to the popular "You guys are complete idiots for trading away Tyrod Taylor, who just took you to the play-offs" line. Not so much rooting against Taylor but more about proving that the Bills made the right move. Edited December 21, 2018 by Chuck Schick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I'm hoping we read these daily Allen worship posts for about 15 years. If you REALLY enjoy rooting for a team that has churn at the QB position, there's an opening for you in Jacksonville. That hot mess ought to go on for years. You'll be at home there. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
