It's the same for QBs warming up on the sideline. The reason is that they don't want to risk a freak accident like a broken finger - or this: Receivers get paid to catch, so let them practice catching while the QBs practice throwing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo716 Posted May 31, 2019 Share Posted May 31, 2019 If Josh can continue to work on his lower body technique and keep it consistent he will be deadly he was mostly all arm in college .. as can happen when you have that kind of arm he he can consistently use those big old ham hogs of legs and core to generate the torque it will tremendously help his consistency of ball placement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris had to start back a bit from the line, wind up, take a few short-steps into the throw, and release, like most guys would. Josh basically just stood there and tossed it 30 yards on a rope effortlessly. One can understand why the kid had a habit of throwing off-platform and proper mechanics be damned. The heat Allen can get on the ball with just his arm and core torque I don't think you can teach, or more guys could do it. There may have been guys before him that could throw a ball FURTHER. Uncle Rico for instance. I'm not sure there's ever been a QB with that velocity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsfaninSB Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 I am so looking forward to see how JA and this team performs. I think Josh will take a big leap forward. He has to stay healthy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Landing Posted June 1, 2019 Share Posted June 1, 2019 This is the best interview I have seen in a long, long time. How can you not be a fan of this guy? Honestly, when is that last time the Bills fanbase was as united behind their quarterback? Kelly? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's pretty astonishing..young Favre could put some heat on the ball but he would put his whole body into it ..the only people I can recall who could generate velocity as effortlessly as Josh is John Elway and Mike Vick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If taken at face value, the pass catchers were there to keep the tosses from getting stupid hard and injuring hands - as good a reason as any other I guess. I had a good friend who played a couple of years NFL backup QB, and in the old USFL. I made the mistake of playing catch with him one day, my hands hurt for a week. I was a decent athlete in my day, college baseball, but I never had anyone throw like that. These guys are in a different world. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that was all because of Kelly’s talent as a QB, including leadership, etc. But Kelly was a major league douche nozzle back in the day. Josh on the other hand, has an infectious, humble, personality in addition to all those other QB traits. Just so easy to root for. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know plenty of folks who hated Kelley's guts early on (most of my family in Buffalo). they may have even hated him more because...my father loved Jim. (My Okie dad knocked up their beautiful 15 year old daughter, and they never forgave him). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was physically gifted, but I think his failures were more on the dicipline side of things, not that it was impossible to groom the talent. Maybe reading too much into your comment, it happens.
