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...

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.

George was the classic case of "million dollar arm, 10 cent head." Never exhibited the desire or competitive edge to be one of the best. Physical talent was All-Pro caliber but just didn't have the drive. I'm not aware of substance abuse issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he was 1) not a leader of men which is closely related to 2) not being an alpha competitor. My #1 memory of his play is of him collapsing to the turf before Bruce even got there. He knew he was coming and did not have any notion of trying to make a play at the risk of taking a hit. He seemed to have more of a need to battle his own coaches than he did any defenders. I always got the impression that he was not respected much around the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transplantbillsfan Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Just watched this. Thanks for posting this! Lotta really interesting takeaways, but the absolute gem for me was what Allen said about what he thinks about when he approaches the line. He mentioned how Daboll (Bellicheck protege) has been training him to think situationally, like down and distance. In all the years we've watched Brady and the Patriots, how irritating is it that it seems like Bellicheck and Brady are the masters of situational football while most other teams seem to view it as an afterthought? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elroy16 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Josh's arm strength is ridiculous. Look at how easy he makes this throw. The throws around 1:45 since the embedded video doesn't keep that information. https://youtu.be/OTBLE79ZW8Y?t=107 He made a 40 yard throw look like he was lobbing the ball to someone 10 yards away.
