However, he has been pretty decent at picking the NFL draft quarterbacks over the last few years .. and he had some good takes .. turnover-worthy play criticism - he throws more; how do you count if he threads a needle and gets a completion but it looks like a defender is close is that turnover worthy, perhaps how hard he throws makes it harder for defenders who are not used to it to intercept him, ...) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I don’t know if I actually believe he thinks it’s a hot take. He also flat out says rodgers is his favorite qb of all time…. I personally love him just based on his weekly breakdowns of players and game situations and how he has a knack for communicating some complex things with your average fan. ….. and it obviously doesn’t hurt that he routinely called out anyone that still was dumb enough to bash Allen last year.

He doesn't try to say I'm right and you're wrong, simply that that's his opinion and here's how he backs it up. He doesn't care about hot takes. He does care about expressing his opinion, whether or not most agree with him. His eventual career goal is to be an NFL GM. Throwing a ton of hot takes out there will not push him in that direction. Oh, and ranking Brady as #10 is fairly reasonable, IMO. He's not ranking him historically, just as to how good he is right now. Which is very good but not as terrific as he used to be. Brady is in a fantastic situation. Edited June 22, 2021 by Thurman#1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad Things Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Thanks for sharing that. I really don't listen to much sports stuff from the US, apart from Bills related things. Mostly here on TBD. That said, I've really enjoyed listening to all of the Chris Simms/Josh Allen podcasts that posters have shared here over the last few years. I agree with just about all of his observations and opinions on Josh and eat up every word he says, when he gushes over what a stud Josh is. It is beautiful music to my ears. Let's go Buffalo!

TroutDog Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I like it…and I like Simms…however, one thing perplexed me: he stated around the 15 minute mark that Josh lives in BUF and works with Daboll year round. That is inaccurate. The argument is true (that Josh is all in on Buffalo) but that statement is factually inaccurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re all looking to be the first one with the big controversial take so people pay attention and give them views and clicks. I’m convinced these dudes are playing characters at this point because you know some of the BS they spew they don’t even believe themselves. But they all have their production meetings with their superiors and editors and they get direction on what type of discussion to have and where to keep the focus on which topics and all that stuff. It’s annoying. I haven’t watched any sort of pregame show in years because of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stank_Nasty Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) Just saw a cool stat on "The Herd". Including the playoffs, Allen had 3 games of 300 passing and 50 rushing last year..... That happens to be the most ever in a season. This further pushes the point that Simms tries to make about no QB being relied on as much as the Bills relied on Allen.

Old Coot Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I like Josh He is a very good QB on the cusp of being elite. His achilles heel is that he holds onto the ball too long. He needs to get the ball out sooner. If I were a DC facing Josh, I'd defense him by disguising coverages to confuse him and blitzing him. I also have concerns about his long term durability. All of those hits he takes when running the ball will add up over the years. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjag Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 As a life long Bills fan, I'm still getting comfortable with the notion that we have a legit top-5 QB1. All those years wandering the QB and HC desert have left me somewhat cautious. Josh was the guy I wanted on draft night. I was estatic when they drafted him. Last year was THE most fun I have had as a Bills fan in literally decades. Watching them hew down the over-vaunted NFC West and sweep the AFC East made for a delirious ride. Even the Cards game was awesome when Allen led them downfield to give them the lead. I used to joke with people that the Bills were the minor league football team of the NFL where they would draft the players, train them up and then send them to big league teams where their full potential could be exploited. No more. Josh Allen is now becoming a player that attracts talent. Times are a changing. I'd personally like to see Josh match last year's performance. I don't expect him to exceed it as I would hope the rest of the team picks up and truly plays complimentary football as is so oft spoken from the HC. I hope to see growth in leadership. I hope to see him continue to win games when they need him to. I hope to see him manage games when they don't. I hope to see the INTs and fumbles go down. Teams aren't going to get caught by surprise with the wide-open Daboll offense again this year. Josh's play needs to evolve this year. Like every legit top QB-1 seems to be able to do. I do wonder if Simms' mancrush on Josh doesn't skew his e v a l a bit. I personally can't pick him over Rodgers yet. Rodgers has been so clutch and displays all the things I have highlighted on a consistent level over many years. There is so much preseason hype on the Bills. Hard to go from never talked about to always talked about. From hunter to hunted. But it sure is going to be a fun ride for the foreseeable future. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
