The Lessons From Josh Allen’s Breakout Season, According to Josh Allen


Recommended Posts

Fun read, 👍 I hope what Beane said about getting and keeping the needed pieces around Allen long term will help fans understand why Beane won’t grab his ankles to sign every “known name” free agent that comes down the pike, Allen is an anomaly, that’s for sure, and we are lucky we have him, and in a sense luckier we have a GM & HC that know what the hell they are doing to not fall into the trap of one or two year window for a championship, these guys see us as a perennial contender, not a flash in the pan outfit.

Again, nice read👍
 

Go Bills!!!

Right from the source itself, doesnt get more authentic than that. Love everything this guy is and stands for. His mentality reminds me of my own, now if I could just get that world class QBing skills, I could be just like Josh Allen…

I just came across this. A good read. I thought I had read something similar a while back from the ringer but seems fairly new content. 

 

 

Have to love the video clip and caption  - “Stop comparing your young QB’s to Josh Allen. They can’t do this.”  Starts with ripping a 30 yard pass to Beasley (I think) on the run during a broken play.

Great read - nice insights to Beane's thinking and interesting about JA's childhood pursuit of sports.....a well rounded athlete!!  So glad the Bills got this guy!  I was happy then and even happier now!!!

 

Go BILLS!!

It was exciting.  It was successful.  But let's be real ... if that goes down 100 times, it's an interception on at least 90 of them.

I mean that's what a tight window throw is, slight variation on it and it's very different.

Um, really?    Let’s be real...that 49ers defender is running full tilt and leaping at the end to hit Beas - he might have been able to break up the play, but that’s not a dangerous ball.  That said, the first throw isn’t perfectly placed, Beasley had to hesitate a bit and catch it behind him, which led to him taking a hit instead of scampering OOB.

It depends too much on PFF.  Almost an apology saying they did not mess their pants.

Yeah, I respectfully disagree. Maybe for other QBs, but Allen makes these kinds of plays every game. It’s his trademark. There’s a reason that he’s known as the most athletically gifted passer on the planet.

I tend to think not. This is what makes JA so special. He has the arm to pull off this completion repeatedly.  he was deadly running to his right and throwing. He did this many, many times.

The one thing about commentary about Josh's career (so far) that really bugs me is the references to his 'abysmal' 2018 year one performance is that there really wasnt supposed BE a 2018 year one performance...but frankly I'm glad there was one because he realized he wasnt good enough (yet) and went out in the off-season to get the help he needed.  Dont know if his 2019/2020 improvement would have come about if he stayed on the sideline in 2018 like we thought he was going to

So your saying he shouldn’t throw that pass? ( I would think not) as said above, tight window pass…. An  Elite athletic QB (Josh Allen) can do that frequently enough to make it part off what he does, and that’s his point, Tua sure as hell can’t do that ever…, 
 

Go Bills!!!

This article is a great read.  I don't typically quote articles, but I found this comment sums up the excitement of watching Allen play the last few years and got a good chuckle out of it.

 

Quote

A Josh Allen play can start well and end badly, or start badly and end well. Now look, there are thousands of normal Josh Allen plays, dropbacks that quietly find their target. Then there are Josh Allen plays where anything that’s ever happened in football is on the table to occur in a single 10-second play.

And also, his 2018 performance wasn't "abysmal". Beane was right in that it's clear who watched all his plays and who only watched the stat sheet.

Just a cringe worthy take.

I finally was able to read the article.  It was a good read so thank you.  As far as Josh’s development, it was quite dramatic, and interesting by PFF standards is the greatest in NFL QB history.  I don’t know whether to be impressed or cynical it is a way for PFF to justify crapping all over Josh for his first two years.

 

in my opinion, Josh walked into a firestorm his rookie year with a terrible O Line and the worst WR’s probably in NFL history.  What he accomplished with his athleticism was impressive.

 

I just remember when Mahomes came out, he had talent around him.  So did Bug Ben 18 years ago.

 

I think Josh will improve again maybe not as dramatic, but in many ways he’s already arrived.
