Big Curt Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Before everyone gets all in their feelings, I wonder if Josh Allen is really a franchise QB. He has major accuracy issues and he makes bad decisions. I believe the Bills should cut bait and do everything they can to draft Tua. I believe Tua is another Patrick Mahomes. He has superstar written all over him and I think the Bills are going to be "spinning their wheels" on a project. Tua is the best QB in the draft and the best QB prospect in years. I hope I am wrong, but Only time will tell. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I am wrong, but Only time will tell. It's too early to tell. He was drafted with the understanding that he was a raw talent. He has only two years of NFL experience. He showed significant improvement in year two. It is absurd to expect him to be a finished product in two years. It may take four or five years to see his full potential. Some quarterbacks have taken longer to blossom. No one can truly answer your question at this point in Allen's career.

Albany,n.y. Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) This OP is beyond ridiculous. 1st off he needs to keep his day job because scouting isn't in his future. 2nd, even if the Bills were crazy, how in the world would they move up from pick 54 to the top 10? Well, I guess it could be done by trading Josh Allen for 2 #1s, but trading him for a medical mystery would be insane.

JaCrispy Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) Well, the OP actually requires 2 answers imo... 1. Yes- Josh is a franchise QB in the sense that the FO has chosen him to be the guy to lead the franchise...Josh is the guy that hopes are pinned on, and the guy that dictates whether jobs are on the line... 2. No- Josh is not the franchise (yet) because he hasn’t reached the talent level where he is the unquestioned starter 10 years from now...if he stopped improving today, one would not feel comfortable that he is capable of bringing success to the franchise... So, this is why I feel there are two sides to the “franchise QB” question. PS I flat out disagree with the idea of “cutting bait” with Josh...that’s a little over the top at this juncture...that debate can be had the day Josh stops improving- which may be a day where he has improved to the point where letting him go would be unthinkable.

Success Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 The Buffalo Bills are an official franchise in the NFL. Josh Allen is the starting QB of the Buffalo Bills.

Don Otreply Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) Josh is a franchise QB in training, who is showing signs of being said QB, he can make throws that require high degrees of accuracy to any spot on the field. What he lacks is consistency, if he can fix that he will likely become a full fledged franchise QB, we just gotta wait and see if it happens. Oh, another thing is that his receivers gotta stop dropping passes at crucial times during games, which they presently do all to frequently. Go Bills!!!

It's ridiculous because Allen made great strides in his 2nd season , the team is building around him, the team did 'go for it' in drafting a QB that they feel will be elite. Despite his areas that need to improve, I think he's already a very good qb. He has the physical skills and those are improving and he has the intangibles you look for in a QB. I'm all in on Allen, I can't wait to see him in action soon. 1 minute ago, Big Curt said: Ok. It may be too soon. However, I think Tua is a better player and will be a better fit.

Could very well be if he doesn’t get severely broken again, till then he is a injury prone small guy playing QB on a very talented team. Just imagine what his hip will do when he gets rag dolled to the turf a few times, on top of his ankle and wrist, the guy is brittle. Go Bills !!!

Big Curt Posted April 11, 2020 Author Share Posted April 11, 2020 Good point. I was thinking he'd drop further down in the draft because of his injury. He's gonna need to sit out an entire year.

I hope I am wrong, but Only time will tell. Let's assume the OP is right, and Josh Allen is not a franchise Qb, and Tua will be. We would not have the draft capital to move up and get Tua. We do not even have a first this year. Tua will go in the top 10, likely the top 5. If we were to try to trade Josh Allen, that would send signals to the teams buying that they would be better off just taking Tua themselves. By trying to trade Josh we would be showing our hand that we are going for a new Qb, and that would show that the team that knows Josh best would rather have Tua. It just isn't feasible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 BC, in all seriousness, I expect Bills fans to not fall into the "accuracy" trap that people who don't watch Allen play as much assume. Accuracy is one area where "eye test" evaluations are acceptable. Allen isn't like EJ and his "zip code" accuracy. He floats some long passes, Like ALL QB's do (see: Jimmy G, 4th quarter, SB). But without a true #1 receiver, Allen was pretty money last year. Lots of dropped passes along the way, but he wasn't all over the place. The accuracy critique is way overblown, imo. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
