No Buckner would be a huge boost. No doubt he'll recover though.

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.

Sometimes all it takes is rest, which he'll get in the offseason.  If he needs surgery, continuing to play on it can do additional damage.

I wish they would stop with the Cam Newton comparison.  Cam never threw the ball that good.

 

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.

We will know whether he practiced today when we see the injury report.  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.

I like Colin Cowherd he calls him a Big Ben but gifted to where he can move out of the pocket and run you over.

Elway but taller is probably the best comparison to Allen 

Yes for sure.... the reason Josh get compared to Cam is because of height, weight and ability to run....  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

Elway has horrible comp % numbers throughout his career. Never was at 69%

Took him 10 years to hit the totally arbitrary 60% mark. 
 

I know, I know; it was a different game back then.

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.

Teams have tried it since we played KC in week 6. 
 

Josh has shown he can adjust to it now.

A John Elway when Elway was pretty mobile, but more mobile.... better comparison 

Before this season I thought his comparable was Elway. A guy who won, was incredibly clutch but stats would never blow you away

 

This season has changed that, he is into the territory of the never seen before

Im surprised a comparison of Steve Young isn’t brought up more

In a nutshell: Josh is faster, can plow through the largest linebackers, has more juke, a tad more accurate on short throws, and he can throw it over the mountains. 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. (Will lightning strike me dead by comparing him to the Holy One?)

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?

Much more arm talent than Young. Not quite as pinpoint accurate (although he's getting there). Much larger and faster, but probably not quite as shifty.

 

Not the best comparison, really.

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.

They try... alla Pats with all DBs on the field.  We just have too many weapons and too good of players.

I haven't heard that. Weird that he'd have a QB role model who he was too young to watch play.

I’m probably off on the timing, Young was before JA was in HS.  I know I’ve heard him say he idolized Young, though, probably as a younger kid...

Josh was watching football, and wearing out the living room carpet playing football with his brother when they were tykes.

Young was mostly before JA was BORN. 

Am I THAT far off!?  I believe it if so.  Things conflate after 60, trust me...

Allen would have been 2 years old during Young's last full season in the NFL (1998). Young started three more games the next year, and that was it.
