Big Turk Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 This is kind of stunning...Allen leads the NFL in lowest percentage of uncatchable passes from a clean pocket at 10.9%. I knew he was doing really well but I had no idea this well...seems like his accuracy and ball placement has become elite as well.. https://twitter.com/PFF_AustinGayle/status/1343971720806490115?s=20 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaw66 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Can't be. He's not accurate. Great stat. Certainly consistent with the guy we've been seeing. When he's clean in the pocket and throws, it's a completion. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty amazing to see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen's mechanics were the one thing holding him back as a prospect and Big Baller Bean saw that he'd already started improving them from the end of his college season to the Senior Bowl. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Josh will not let up untill he proves everyone wrong. I'm fairly certain when he busted his shoulder up in his first year in Wyoming they took the chip from his shoulder and surgically implanted it in him, so it's not going away untill every doubter pays either physically, emotionally, or monetarily. The dude is still pissed about being a zero star recruit out of high school, and wont rest till he gets his revenge. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure that happened when at the Fresno State QB camp they put him with the undesirables as a kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know if he’s said much since then. But he said this THIS YEAR is the most funny part for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They started with the premise that Allen had received adequate coaching during his time playing QB. He hadn't. Compare what Allen had to what most of the top prospects had coming out and it is night and day. So for most of the others, yes it would be true...because they already had coaches working on that with them. Allen just kind of went out there and slung it. Start by making a bad assumption and it will lead you to a faulty conclusion. Edited December 31, 2020 by Big Turk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was that if you have major accuracy issues coming out of college, it's unlikely to completely fix those at the pro level. Agree or not if is valid , but that was the premise , or at least how I interpreted it to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think what they didn't see is Allen had almost unlimited room to improve whereas others had much less room to improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But coaching in college is a big issue, you don't always have the luxury of time to learn mechanics in the NFL, and it's not easy. Allen is a special case. Keep in mind, he was still considered a top 10 pick pretty much all around, so it's not that people thought he was untalented, just had shortcomings. I don't think anyone saw his performance this season happening so soon. It's really remarkable what he has done. Even with no major issues coming out of college, not many QB's play as this sustained level at any point in their career let alone in year 3. It's truly amazing.

Favre and others have increased completion percentage after getting to the pros. Remember, completion percentage doesn’t equal accuracy. That’s the problem with some of these alleged experts. There are many factors that go into completion percentage, such as weather conditions, average length of pass, pass protection, ability of receivers etc... anyone who followed Josh saw that he was throwing low percentage passes (long bombs) at a high rate at Wyoming. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I don't understand is why so many people are surprised at how good he's becoming. The entire reason why Josh was in the conversation for #1 overall pick was that his ceiling was so ***** high. So if he actually turns out to be a hit and is filling his potential he should be great. Edited December 31, 2020 by Warcodered 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
