All would be immediate upgrades over Allen, despite their various problems, age, etc. Folks in this thread keep saying Allen is going nowhere. Did they notice yesterday how their head coach had no faith in Allen's ability to win the game? And how they chose to instead play for a tie with a 53 yard FG? Don't listen to what the coaching staff says, watch what they do. They have no faith in Allen whatsoever. That's pure conjecture and you know it. Secondly, you think Beane and McDermott are going to the Pegulas after this year to get rid of Allen after preaching "The Process"? If you're so sure, let's make a bet. Who ever loses, leaves the Board Permanently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-9 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 2 hours ago, oldmanfan said: There is no QB in the world that has no accuracy issues, and the ones you intimate Allen has are overblown. Allen needs to continue to progress in reading defenses and knowing what his best choices are pre-snap. Speaking of reading defenses, that goes for his receivers, too. Heard yet another report this afternoon on One Bills Live that Brown missed a hot signal from Josh on the last drive. That’s a couple key missed reads by Brown in the last few weeks. On one hand I’m happy that it indicates growth in Allen’s game, on the other I’m concerned that his surrounding personnel is not in the same page enough. Especially at critical junctures in games.

He has the makeup to make changes and improve. And, quite frankly for a raw, young player he's pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njbuff Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 Maybe if the coaching staff would get Singletary 20-30 touches a game, Josh and the offense might look a lot better. For good grief, I don’t know how the coaching staff doesn’t see this and makes this the identity. This Singletary kid is a TD maker. Look at how he did this in college and how he has translated it to the pros. This staff is trying to make a young Allen into A young Marino when Allen doesn’t have the Mark’s brothers to throw to. There are 7 games to go. Feed Singletary until he pukes. And what I have just mentioned folks.......... IS THE BEST FRIEND to a young QB trying to develop in the NFL and become a star. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregPersons Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 They should be running a creative run-heavy game with lots of option plays, basically the Greg Roman / Anthony Lynn offense, which is what this personnel seemed suited toward.

JinxedBill Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 This is year 2 in a 3 year campaign with Allen/McClappy/Beane. Nothings changing till 2021. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, until yesterday against the Ryan Finley led 0-8 Bengals, Jackson's passing numbers have been average at best throwing the football. Look for yourself. He had 5 TD's and 5 INT's through his previous 6 games throwing the football. He is amazing running it though, I will give him that. Do you honestly believe he would be successful outside of Roman in Baltimore right now? I don't think so. This too shall pass. You are working really hard to hate on Lamar. If Allen was doing this, I’d bring do back flips. Watch the games. He dominates at times and their defense isn’t close to as good as ours anymore. Stop hating and just admit you were wrong about him. Bill Polian did so can you. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that title belonged to Lamar Jackson (rawest and most upside), and he is killing it out there with his arms and legs. Meanwhile, Josh can't hit wide-open WR's on simple deep routes. Better than Trubisky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangarang Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 The only QB that matters is Allen. If he’s not the answer then I don’t care who the backup is. They won’t be the answer either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed83HOF Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 jesus christ. I just saw this thread...Are we really this far already? Usually you see the biggest jump for a QB in years 1-2; the only ones who took a bit longer are Brees and Alex Smith andi f you really go back, Aikman and Bradshaw. Allen being so green and raw coming out, you could easily argue this is a year 1 for him which will take us through the end of next season, which is fine honestly. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have watched him a bunch of times. I live in VA and we get MANY of the Ravens games. I like watching him play, but that doesn't mean I believe it is sustainable or that he would be successful in another system elsewhere. At one point I liked watching the SF teams with Kaep and the other Harbaugh at the helm. The team (Baltimore) is still well built from top to bottom, they have an excellent coaching staff, a good group of players on offense as a whole, and Lamar is in the perfect system for him. They know what they want to do and they do it well. It doesn't mean that I have to admit he is some amazing QB when I surely don't see him that way. He is an amazing athlete though for sure. That long TD run against Cincy yesterday was a thing of beauty. His style of play will cost Baltimore when it counts, just like last year. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmanfan Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 It’s nice that so many people are blowing off steam today. That’s all it is though, because everyone knows Allen is the QB the rest of this year and next year. His biggest problem area is recognizing defenses pre-snap and going to the right guy. Young QBs havevto figure that out. He needs to speed up that learning process. Long balls don’t concern me that much, although it is strange he isn’t hitting some. I saw a stat a couple years ago that throws over 30 yards in the air make up maybe 5% of total throws. You hit one it means a lot but you don’t base an offense on that.

He is better than he was last year and seems to be a hard worker. And there was a lot more that happened in SF after Harbaugh left. They lost a ton of talent and had Jeremy Kerley as their number 1 wr. 1 minute ago, oldmanfan said: It’s nice that so many people are blowing off steam today.

Tyrod & Fitz split the first three quarters down the middle. Josh comes in for the 4th. Three men combined into one reliably decent QB I .... I ..... no ... don't do it, Gugny. Be strong.

Enough with the excuses. THIS is the second half of year two no matter how you slice it. 2 mini camps, 2 training camps, 2 summers working with Jordon Palmer, 1 1/2 years of watching film. He's started 20 games. At what point do we stop making excuses? 3rd season? 40 starts? 5 years? I'm not ready to give up on him necessarily, but he's a big boy. Stop making excuses for him. It's time to step up. This is the bigs. 1 hour ago, Tesla03 said: crazy just a few weeks ago ppl were saying how Allen is light years ahead of Tyrod You never heard me say that 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Jackson Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 We aren’t replacing Josh with lesser players. If you don’t love Josh start scouting the 2021 QB class. He’s the QB until AT LEAST then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
