Ga boy Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Josh is looking a lot like Jay Cutler but our guy appears to have more leadership skills. I was always amazed that Jay could zip it all over the field with nothing to show for it. During his 2nd season, I'd like to see Josh look more like Brett Favre than Jay. Can he do it?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I think most folks around here are expecting him to be much better than Cutler, and would be gutted if he ended up around that level. I'm not one of them. The comp. I have been going with is Ryan Tannehill. My fear is that Allen will prove good enough to keep the illusion of quality about him for a long time, while not really being very good in the end, resulting in a prolonged Allen era where the team doesn't really go anywhere. I.E., kind of like the Tannehill led Dolphins. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 No. I don’t think it’s OK. Josh is easy to love and is a team guy, gives it his all on every play. I don’t want him becoming “Cutler-like”. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket94 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 No. I like Josh Allen. He is more human like than Cutler. He smiles, cracks a joke once in awhile! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextmanup Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 To the OP: I think you picked the wrong comp player, kind of by accident. Cutler is a buzz word for "disinterested slacker who doesn't give a ***** except for his paycheck." I don't think you meant it that way; I assume you meant the comparison to be based on Cutler's actual talent level and skill as a QB on a football field. For that reason, you might want to provide a different comp player. Folks here are not interpreting your question to be about Allen's skill level, but rather, how he scores in the intangible areas like guts, determination, leadership, teamwork, and that sort of thing. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well considering I’ve seen some people comparing Allen to Elway and saying he will better than Newton, no, that’s not unreasonable. I mean Cutler has all the tools like Allen. He just was a giant d bag who was a terrible leader. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Cutler with great character and a natural leader is a pretty good recipe, no? Not proof it will work out, but I like my chances if that's what I got. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rc2catch Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 I actually think the better comp has been a popular one with Big Ben. The short throw accuracy is a little scary to me but 10-30 yards is deadly along with being difficult to sack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do tell, in what ways ? Simply "zip it all over the field" makes Allen look like 50 other QBs over the last decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When josh was drafted I made Upside projections to Cutler ->Elway. I definitely thing he's cut from that mold. but he's still got a long way to go to get to Cutler level. Right now, he's probably closest to Josh Freeman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
