CheshireCT Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 3 hours ago, StHustle said: We all wanted him to work on and get better at his short route passing and we understand the reasons why but we also didn't expect his deep-ball to disappear and have to "come back in time." I can’t say for sure, but I would predict that they have devoted very little time in the offseason and weekly preparation to the deep ball in favor of reps to work on his short game. Like he said and we could guess, he overthrows because he’d rather not underthrow into a turnover. I mean I get the frustration because it seems like since the guy has a huge arm he should have no problem connecting on those. But if he doesn’t work o that, it’s not going to be reliable. Again, just my guessing here.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The receivers can’t get separation, it’s the Line, it’s Daboll, it’s Mcd, etc. this is a bad qb who we need to move on from. After 19 games you are ready to move on from Allen? You have seen no improvement from last year to this year? You are certain he will get no better? Are you advocating drafting another QB in first round? Because we will be picking in the 20's. Or are you advocating for a retread like Mariotta or Winston? Please tell us how you would improve the QB play next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said Josh was 3 of 36 fro over 30 yards in air, less than 10%. Just clarifying that table. So, you're right, the author is wrong. Got it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That will give a decent idea. Draft a QB in the second or so. It's about a slow moving on whilst still giving a chance for the unlikely to happen, that he will suddenly be great. You don't have to cut the guy but it's NEGLIGENT to not do 'due diligence' on each position as Beane says. It's the most important position.

Personally I would tell OC to run the football even with pass and play action Josh. Stop throwing long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And rightfully so. Agreed Gugny. They are committed to Allen’s development, and will stick with him to gain the experience. Like it or not he’s starting unless he gets injured. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Allan in MD Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 9 hours ago, Mrbojanglezs said: Your probably right. The coaches are brain washing him to play conservatively and protect the football so he is becoming scared to throw interceptions on the deep ball. If he's protecting the football on passes, why isn't he doing it under pressure? Is that also a coaching problem or is it simply endemic? If the latter, nothing will obviously change. It will also likely get worse since he becomes a bigger target than he already is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These 10 yard overthrows is on someone. Throwing on 3-3 long to Beasley is on someone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beane's career will be defined by Allen. He will get every shot to improve this year and next. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You continually evaluate, that's what you do. They cannot be scared of their perception. Is it a difficult situation for Beane to draft another QB? Sure. There would be alot of questions. 'Josh has shown enough growth'. No, not for me. But what I think won't ultimately matter. Let's say Beane thinks that Allen may not be the guy - he will be bringing someone in to compete. It depends on whether the pegulas want to define beanes career by Allen. In the same way that Allen should get more time, should Beane not be allowed to miss on a project QB?

You know it is a bad throw when people are guessing you threw it away! His deep balls often miss the receiver by 10 yards. In all seriousness I remember watching highlights from his pro day, and people were blown away by the arm and the fact he can throw it 80 yards, and I was watching it and he threw a few incomplete passes that his receivers couldn't get to. That hasn't changed one bit since he got to Buffalo. Edited November 12, 2019 by jrober38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USABuffaloFan Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Kelly was a Gun slinger and lucky to be 60%. Difference is he hit the long pass allot. There are other differences, some to Josh's advantage. Allot of Josh's passes are off hands. Reed and Lofton caught those. Not all Josh but zero percent on 12 30+ in the air passes this year is terrible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
