RobbRiddick Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Well, the season is done. We've discussed every aspect of Allen's play. We've argued about whether we should have passed on him and taken Rosen. So as the Bills head into the offseason, sit back, crack open a beer, and relive the rookie's best moments of 2018: 4 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troll Toll Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 If he started all 16 games he would have been on pace for ~25 TDs (rushing + passing) for the year as a rookie, not too shabby. It’s interesting, even in the highlights video you can see the growth and development that happened in year one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you can definitely seen the play improve though the season.... can’t wait to see his development next year. Should be fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da webster guy Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I watched it a few times. He's so fun to watch. And to think I felt strongly about him spending the whole year on the bench.

Bray Wyatt Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 the guy is exciting thats for sure, if he gets a better feel for when to check it down and better pre snap recognition next year, playoffs and possibly a playoff win is realistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DRA3196 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 Was fantastic watching him learn the game, glad it was on the field and not on the sideline. He is a very talented player with a very high ceiling. I am looking forward to see how the team is put together this offseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern Bills Fan Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I think he will be great. The experts predicted that he would have such a long learning curve because he didn't play with or against future NFL talent in college like most QB's in power 5 conferences do. It seems like he caught up much faster than most expected. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy1 Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I finally feel like the Bills have found a long term answer to the quarterback problem they have had for what seems like forever. Our defense is solid. Hopefully they can get the right offensive pieces around Josh to get this offense really rolling. Optimism for 2019! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't to see him get better next year. Especially with more weapons and better protection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atlbillsfan1975 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 We can look no further than Foster to see how hard work can make someone a better receiver. It also takes time to build some chemistry and to adjust to how fast Allen throws. I hope Beane is looking for wide receivers who are good at snatching the ball out of the air. Quick hands and fast adjusting 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardb1952 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Another year to work with Dabol. Will come in established as the starting QB. A whole preseason to develop chemistry with the WRs and TE. If Bills can establish a solid ground attack, can you imagine the pressure put on a defense. Allen is dangerous because he can run and has a strong arm. Imagine the opposing defenses having to also defend a running game. Allen would be even more dangerous. Can't wait til next season. I imagine I will watch this video a number of times this off season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan1959 Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Certainly not all were "drops." I would say some of them "should" have been caught; while, all of them "could" have been caught. I don't particularly care what they meant in terms of completion percentage as much as what they meant in on field effects: Ends of drives, loss of field position, change in momentum, point production, and ultimately, the difference in possibly winning 2-3 more games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have been named "5 minutes of missed catches most decent NFL receivers make" I honestly think velocity has something to do with some of them - exposing lack of skill. If you don't have great hands/skill to begin with, if the ball is coming in really fast you are more likely to miss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stank_Nasty Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 What’s even more maddening is listening to the commentary in the background. “The was a perfect throw” ”that’s a great throw” ”should have been caught” ????? I get this happens to numerous teams. But the lack of plays made for the qb teamed with the BLATANT drops of nice balls is just inexcusable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't have great hands/skill to begin with, if the ball is coming in really fast you are more likely to miss it. Greetings from Wake Forest. I do think velocity was an issue with some passes. In some instances, Allen could have put a better touch on the ball; in some instances, the velocity was more an issue of disrupting timing; and in some instances, a better receiver would have made the catch. I think all of those issues will improve as Allen's experience increases, as he is surrounded by better receivers, and with more time developing chemistry between Allen and those recivers.

If you don't have great hands/skill to begin with, if the ball is coming in really fast you are more likely to miss it. I tend to agree, though I do think the touch argument is a bit played out. The recievers on the Bills A.) need to adjust for harder thrown balls B.) aren’t the most skilled pass catchers. This was constantly reinforced to me anytime I watched good offenses play this season. Even from very good QB’s like Brady, Mahomes, Watson etc, passes we’re not always between the numbers, but receivers made some great adjustments or by diving or leaping for the ball. Allen probably is never going to be the most accurate QB in terms of ball placement, so it will be important to find my recievers with good hands/catch radius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McD has done more in BUF with far less talent (Mario, Dareus, Gilmore, Woods, Watkins, etc). Both had to develop a rookie QB. The Jags quit on Marrone this year. He will be canned after 2019. Allen is way better than any QB we've had in while. And just for the record, Eric Dungy will never be an everyday starter in NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
