He has had ankle issues all year, I wonder if he will get surgery in the off season for it.... Hasn't missed a game because of it yet, I would assume he will play but all depends how he is feeling before the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he needs surgery, continuing to play on it can do additional damage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulletin board material. 😁 Anyways, being compared to Cam Newton is a slap in the face to Josh Allen. Newton on his best day doesn't have anywhere near the arm talent Josh does. FACT. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t agree the fans need mri results. To each their own on that. Arians and McDermott are polar opposites and that’s just one example. And, for that, I am glad. Arians does not impress me. I'll take a humble person like McDermott every day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But skill set wise, yes.. he’s a little bit taller, more athletic John Elway. But ability and arm strength is what I was going for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

97bills Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I got a question why don’t teams play us like we did KC 6 DB and make us beat them with the run we haven’t really showed to many times this year we can stick to the run. I wouldn’t be surprised if the colts do this or try go all in on the pass if we run so be it it’s better to give up some runs then big plays to the pass. What do y’all think go bills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young was left handed. At the risk of hyperbole, he's as accurate, smart and mobile as Young and as big as Elway. In short, he's a bigger, faster, stronger Mahomes. I say that not as a homer but based on the evidence. No, he hasn't won the Super Bowl yet, but otherwise he's simply offers more than Mahomes.

Young was left handed. Josh has unreal arm talent, some of the throws he makes on the move are eye-popping, he can hit nearly any spot in a 40 yard radius, from almost any position on the field. We do need to find a reliable tight end for him, Is there a George Kittle clone rattling around anywhere? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest reason that it’s a relevant comparison is that Young was Josh’s role model as a high school player. He has said that he tried to emulate Young, and remember this was prior to him becoming Paul Bunyan. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
