When is Allen going to have "that game", and do you care?


Process

Recommended Posts

That game where he shows he is able to light up a defense with his arm? Where it looks like he can be a true franchise QB? Where he shows that even though he will make mistakes as young qb, he is capable of going up against a guy like Rodgers or Brees or Mahomes and keep up with them in a shootout? I'm talking about a game with 300+ yards and 3+ TDs....

 

Right now wins are all that matters. But I do care and I do want to see it, because to be able to compete in the playoffs we are going to need a QB that can win and take over a game with his arm. 

 

Baker Mayfield had a 4TD game last year and has had several games with 300+ passing yards

Daniel Jones had 300+ yards in his first career start

Kyle Murray, a rookie on one of the worst teams in the NFL, has 3 300+ yard games in the first half of the year

Lamar Jackson went for 300+ and 5TDs against the Dolphins

 

Most thought this would be the week but it wasn't, so when? Next week is an even better opportunity. The Eagles have the worst secondary in the NFL, they get lit up every single week. They also have one of the best run defenses, which should force us to throw the ball. If Allen can't put up numbers against them it's hard to see when it will happen.

i know you will get a million posts saying as long as we win it doesn't matter.    IMHO i need to see a 300 3td game this year. Just to show me he can do it.  We have had a pretty cupcake schedule.    There is going to be a game where you going to have to put up points to win, unless you have a defense like Dilfer did with the Ravens.   Seems the one constant outside of the glory years with the exception of a year or two with Bledsoe has been a sub par offense.   This team wants to go the next level the offense is going to have to get much better, especially when going against the better teams.

I'd like to see it, but I don't really care, not right now.

 

I remember when Big Ben came into the league & won a lot of games for a rock-solid Steelers team without coming close to lighting anything up. So far at similar points in their career, I would say Josh has shown better intangibles  when it comes to being a winner.

Exactly. Stats are about the sixteenth best indicator of how Allen plays.

Always live the keyboard experts with the “I need to see” line....smh.....

Actually last years final game against the Dolphins might have been that game.  Imo fans here loved him here all off season as that was the last image of him all offseason.  

 

I've always been in the middle on Josh from when he got drafted.  Didn't love or hate the pick, it was more like time will tell if this is a good move or not.  I still remain in the middle with him.  He hasn't done anything so far this year to really impress me but he's 5-1 and today had no turnovers.  

 

But I mean so be it the defense does it's thing and we keep winning that's the main thing with me
