Additionally it was one of the strangest games based on how it played out. Negative hot takes do not wait for multiple games to play out. Neither will my positivity that Allen checks all the boxes!

DabillsDaBillsDaBills Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Vince Young went 31-19 as a starter in the NFL. Does that mean he was a good QB that "just wins"? Or does that mean he was a pretty bad QB that got carried to victories by the rest of his team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Diego State 11/19/2016; (4) Wyoming v. Utah State 10/14/2017; (5) Wyoming v. Colorado State 11/4/2017. Each basically the same narrative. Each a loss without Josh Allen late game craziness.

And the important second point is that the mistakes all are things he will learn from and improve. He isn't just a winner, he's a student. By this time next season, the Bills will have a guy who is a top 10 QB for three quarters and top 3 winner in the fourth quarter. He's going to be big time good. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlayoffsPlease Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Personalty wise Josh Allen is my favorite Bill since Jim Kelly. He has some special gifts. His upside is huge. I am concerned about the coaching around him. I know that is not a popular view, but I still have concerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerome007 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I could feel his "haters" gloat in his 4 turnovers but most were weird flukes that won't likely happen, well not 4 in one half anyway. But then later he threw bad ones that weren't INT so it balances out. But he was good, again, with arm, feet, leadership, poise. And he led them to victory. I can't wait for some DEEP throws though. Beasly - and Daboll - have really opened up the short/medium game. I expect some deep passes galore at one point. Sweeny (#89) has caught a fairly long one for a TE and did so in the preseason games too. I was actually surprised the Jets accepted a 5 yard penalty at one point. Josh losing a down is worse for the Bills than losing 5 yards - his cannon arm makes up for that quick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bevis Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I'd say B+ for the comeback after a brutal first half. Many QB's would have folded. Now, it would be nice if on a go forward basis he took actual care of the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerome007 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Look at the NFL highlight video of the game - I just did. He threw some nice passes. Many 'medium deep" ones that look so effortless we tend to forget they were not dink and dunk passes. And one at the end that was almost picked off... hard not to cringe that the WR didn't come back for the ball, short pass or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You called me a troll because I gave a low grade to a QB who gave the ball away 4 times. That's whiney. So basically everyone who gives a realistic take is a troll?
