TroutDog Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 1 hour ago, HappyDays said: Worked out for Mahomes. Aaron Rodgers sat a couple years and turned out pretty good too. Allen looked better after sitting a few games. I stand by my belief that many rookies would be better off sitting at least half of their first season. I certainly agree that it worked out for them but the Bills were not in the same position. Nathan Peterman...great guy and turnover machine. Allen needed to be inserted and it paid dividends. As he has never has a QB coach, played against top tier talent, etc, last year worked out perfectly for him and us as fans. That includes the injury where he had the chance to process what happened and what will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Almighty Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I did #3 it's on the ceiling right above my bed. I want to gaze into his eyes before I go to sleep. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I’m cautiously optimistic. Love the guy and hoping for continued growth, but seriously now.....I’m waiting to see more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerome007 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I haven't spent nearly as much as time as you... but I love him LOL. A non-sexual man-crush. I almost never use the term "we" when speaking of the Bills, knowing full well I'm no part of the team. But I realize in my fantasy, primitive, fiercely protective man brain, that I'd go to battle to protect him. His youth gives this a weird father/mentor like flavor to my fantasy, but I see him as no kid, but as a man to lead the team to victory. Yeah, we should start a JAA (Josh Allen Anonymous) group... It's ridiculous ha ha. No doubt, football can ignite a part of our tribal brain and we can have a deep connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m thinking 5th? (First round is crazy, come on now.) I wanna take him now because it could be a lot of fun. He's a QB2 at this point. Anything before rd 9 is honestly silly.

Hi my name is Rayray808 and I am a Josh-aholic... 1) Watched them all, and even have favorites that I re-watch. 2) My common google search is "Josh Allen Bills" because the Kentucky guy ruins my searches 3) I have 15 Contenders rookie tickets (including the cracked ice), and at least 200+ rookie patch auto's, 1/1's and other high end cards - I just started collecting again because of him (last pack I bought was in 1998) 4) I have been hinting at a tattoo for months, my wife thinks I am kidding, but I'm actually semi serious 5) He will be my keeper in my 12 man league, you lose the draft pick you got him in, and he was my last pick NEW ONES: 6) You talk about him to people that aren't even really into football 7) You yell out "JOSH ALLEN" every time you throw a football super far at the beach or park 8.) When people start praising him it's like when someone talks about a musician that you know everything about that they just heard on the radio for the first time... that fake smile and glare you give back 3 minutes ago, Real McCoy said: ditto He's a QB2 at this point.

Allen is a very low end QB1/high end QB2. If 9-10 QB's go off the board before RD5 in your $$$ leagues typically please send me a PM for invite.

Marv's Neighbor Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I am optimistic BUT cautious in that it will be his 2nd season, and many players don't live up to the hype in the 2nd season. Hopefully by this time next year the caution will have given way to a lot of great memories. If he does not live up to expectations, that does not mean he's not good and has no potential BUT a lot of it will be what HE believes about himself and his abilities. Great coaching should even that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSHMEAB Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I've never been QB obsessed. I understand the importance of the position, but I'm all about anyone representing the Bills on the field. Allen has a lot to prove before he's even on my top 5 player list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreggTX Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 No. I have none of the above symptoms. Josh will usually be good for a highlight reel play or 2 most weeks, but consistency is what wins championships. When I see him consistently throwing accurate passes into tight windows, I'll get excited. Until then, I'll just hope I finally get to see us win a SB before I leave this world. My greatest fear is that he'll be the next Tannehill -- just good enough to hang around too long and not good enough to take us to the dance.
