Irv Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Thinking that Allen could be better than Kelly all-time. But not sure. What do you think? 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 In their 3rd seasons in the NFL, Josh is already better. And remember that Jim had 2 years of professional football in the USFL before coming back to the NFL. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 This conversation can only happen after Allen's first SB or about 6 more seasons playing at this level with multiple deep playoff runs. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigduke6 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 lets not, Kelly is a legend. They can both co-exist as the best the Bills have had. no need to compare. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scuba guy Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Too early to say Maybe after 10 years more and 8 super bowl rings I will say yes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real McClappy Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Just such a different era. If Josh can stay healthy for the long term I feel he will be the Bills GOAT. Thread got me thinking. Can you imagine JA with Thurman? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABILLBACKER Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Once Josh wins a SB, even Jim will hand over the torch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different eras when it comes to yards, TDs and completion percentage, but look at his TD:turnover ratio. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said this in a thread a few weeks ago, I believe in my heart that when Allen's career is complete, he will have shattered every single one of Kelly's records. I believe alot of it will be because of Allen's talents, but alot also just because of how the passing game has evolved over the years. This is a passing league now much more so than back when Kelly was QB... But yes, Kelly's records will ALL be broken....shoot, how many did Josh already break just this season alone?

Artful Dodger Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 It's way too early to say, but due to his mobility issues, I'm not sure Kelly would have thrived so much in the modern era, but with his arm and his accuracy this year, Allen would have thrived 30 years ago. Both QB's have that intangible will to win that makes quarterbacks great. Let's just hope that Allen doesn't turn back into a pumpkin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaaadThingsMan Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 What if Allen had Thurman Thomas? Thomas scored alot of TDs back in that era, Kelly could have easily had 10 more TDs a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
