RoyBatty is alive Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 good write up but a bit over the top homerish, how about this line, "Allen missed John Brown by 10 yards on a bomb and sure TD in the second quarter. So what? " So what? Missing a guy by 10 yards for a TD is a very very big deal, it doesnt resonate since we won by two TDs but that is not the type of thing a starting NFL QB should do.

No problem. You should say what you mean. I don’t take any offense. It did go over the top but that was kind of the point. And I also said it’s not a sure thing he will be great, he hasn’t done anything yet, and listed a bunch of things he needs to do a lot better.

Paradoxically (or is it ironically???), he getting hurt last year and forced to sit out a number of games gave him time to study the offense and be more prepared when he played at the end of the season. That set the stage for him to better work on his game in the offseason and in camp. Also, having Barkley and Derek Anderson last year as mentor showed him how to properly prepare for games. There are a lot of ingredients that go into developing a qb. The biggest accelerant in that process is having a good OL. It's tough to learn when you are constantly under siege. If you are going to invest in a qb and want to get a better and quicker return you need to have a credible line in front of him. And that's exactly what this organization focused on this offseason.

No doubt. Although they really did him a disservice last year, especially at the beginning. I know you can't fix everything in one year but their choices were really bad almost across the board. This offseason, they did it right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely wouldn’t script a season like that for a known rookie project at QB. The team tried not to play him. But they did and he learned so much more from being thrown to the wolves. Not a preferred tactic, but it worked tremendously. No way he’d be this far along -with much yet to learn and improve on- if he didn’t play last year.

The point of my prior posts was that because he got hurt after out of necessity being thrust on to the field that break before getting back again in worked out in his favor from a developmental standpoint. When he then played he was better prepared than when he played before getting hurt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought and often said here that they should start Josh day one, even if it was an almost impossible task. I think he would be even further along than he is now if they did that, but it's impossible to know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JK had a tough time with that. It's ego, accepting criticsim even when it's misguided, facing the public and your teammates when you screwup in a big moment, interacting with a hostile, at times, press. Whether he succeeds at "Franchise QB" or not, he is the same person whether he gets viewed in a different way by the public or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it was total serendipity - but for Allen, it worked out really well 1) he played enough to see some success, but also to get that “Welcome to the NFL, Rookie!” message from opposing teams 2) just while he was thinking “yoiks, lots to learn here!”he was forced to sit, watch and learn 3) he got to test his new learnings at the end of the season by playing some more 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
