Mahomes would like to challenge Allen to a throwing contest for charity

Just a bit of fun, I guess.

 

I’m all for fun and charity. Maxing out on a lot of things can mean some risk. I realize a lot of people think this is silly,  but we’ve been waiting on our QB for a long, loooong time, and I hate to risk any damage to the man’s most important tool. It’s fine to disagree, I’m the cautious type with something so important. I’m a wimp, I get it.

I can't imagine that either team would allow their QB to do this.   It's a terrible idea due to injury risk.  Although there is some sort of mutual respect brewing between JA and Mahomes that is fun to watch.

I imagine the national media would view Mahomes as an overwhelming favorite.  Would be fun if JA out threw (and out "accurate'd") Mahomes.

I'd rather see a charity match in the octagon.

Bad idea for both QBs.

 

This..

 

I know it is a buzz kill, but too easy for me to imagine something going wrong.

 

Protect the investment for now...

 Please explain this to me. Terrible risk? When was the last time a QB was taken out of a game by straining his arm by throwing? Check that. Has it EVER happened? It must be a regular occurrence the way some people here are talking. I genuinely cannot see any grounds for concern if common sense is applied.

 

 I get that people are protective of their QB but this is insane! 

 

 Here’s a radical idea. How about holding this in the off-season?

 

 Please someone explain the insane risk because this line absolutely boggles my mind.

1.  I did not say it was a "terrible risk," but a "terrible idea" because of the risk.  There is zero reward, and there is risk. 

 

2.  This event is totally different than a QB throwing during a game.  The idea of "who can throw it further," is much more akin to a pitcher in baseball straining his arm to the max to throw a fastball, etc.  During a game, a QB is throwing a variety of throws at various speeds, likely never "red-lining" their arm.  This contest would involve throwing it as far as possible, ask., pushing your arm to its limit.  That's dangerous.

based on measures I’ve seen Josh may have the strongest arm the NFL has ever seen. 

 

Mahommes would lose

Fearing injury to Josh is the most BBFS thing ever.  This would be fun and generate interest in both Josh and the Bills.

 

I know right?

 

I was fear mongering too, but realistically Allen has 300 LB defensive tackles who can run sub-5 40's wanting to crush him each play, so wrapping him in bubble wrap doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

 

Plus the kid thinks he can run through them, or leap over them.

 

Must be a knee-jerk negative outlook reaction to years of seeing defeat snatched from the jaws of victory.

 

Hard to be a Bills fan and not have "How could this go horribly wrong?" tattooed on your brain.

I love Allen.  I love the kids moxie.  I love his skills.  I love his commitment.

 

That said I would very much prefer if we found a way to keep his body in a bubble of some sort, I don't know as I am not skilled in these things, maybe a space age polymer or possibly a large amount of silly putty...which may be a space age polymer.  Again, I don't know what a polymer is, let alone a space age one.

 

I just want him kept there until September.

 

...I am not a greedy person.

Post of the day. Perhaps we could plant a TBD mole inside NASA, and 5-finger discount us some of those new Martian settlement space suits they’re working on? Surely those have a lot of cutting edge polymers we’ve never heard of, whatever they are.

Of course!!! Breaking a table = know how to pick a biometric lock, Vulcan neck pinch the bored security guards on duty and get away with those wonderful polymers, ala Mission: Impossible music plays in the background...you’re very welcome McBeane, now go make it happen and protect our franchise’s right shoulder!!

 You have no idea what the specifics are of this contest because it hasn’t even been decided yet. You’re incredibly naive if you think that anyone would allow them to come close to red-lining their arms.

 

If you genuinely think QBs don’t try to throw the ball as far as they can during practice I don’t know what to tell you. I mean you honestly think that Darnold and Allen haven’t been working on their deep balls at the QB camp they’re attending?
