CorkScrewHill Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Like him Josh tries to run over people, raw, winner. Referenced Daboll was his QB coach at the Jets would want Josh to stop trying to run over people. Feels other than height, Josh is a bit more polished and more careful with turnovers. Closest to old school .. wins games whatever is called for. If want to watch the interview starts at 42:30 goes to 45:50. having been around back in the Favre days .. I can definitely see it.. 5 1 4 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhoTom Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 From his first game, I always thought Josh had Favre-like qualities - even the recklessness. The big difference is that Josh tempered his recklessness, where Favre didn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blank Stare Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 I don’t know that I get his point about Josh’s modest stats. Maybe when you look at all 3 years of his career so far, taking some sort of average or something, but I think it’s pretty universally accepted that Josh exploded on the scene stat-wise last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
947 Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 (edited) It seems like Favre has only seen highlights of Josh & isn't at all familiar with his 2020 season. He says "He's raw" & "He isn't putting up crazy numbers, yet". Neither of those are remotely true, it's like he's talking about Josh after his 2019 season. Josh 2020- 4,544 yards & 45 total TD. 10 INTs Favre's best statistical season (1996)- 4,413 yards & 40 total TDs. 13 INTs Edited September 3, 2021 by 947 4 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The modern NFL just can not tolerate a guy throwing more INTs than TDs, or throwing more than 1 INT per game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BisonMan Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Favre was/is a complete rock head. Josh is so much more intelligent that Favre. It allows him to run a much more complex offense. Favre constantly rifled balls into tight coverage, whereas Josh consistently reads the defense and finds the open player. The only comparisons I see between these two is their competitiveness and physical ability sling the ball. Favre averaged ~27 TDs and ~18 picks a season (1.5 ratio) over 19 seasons where he was the starter. Josh averages ~22 TDs and ~10 picks a season (2.2 ratio) over just 3 seasons as a starter (and he's only just hit his stride). Granted the league was less passing oriented in Favre's day but I think Elway is a better comparison. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobbRiddick Posted September 3, 2021 Share Posted September 3, 2021 Favre is in my top 3 favorite players of all time. He was reckless for sure but so much fun to watch, just like a kid out there having fun. In that sense he's always reminded me of Allen (or Allen has always reminded me of him). Those playoff games at Lambeau field with Favre playing, snow on the ground, that was such a great time 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Josh loves Brian Daboll's scheme and committed to playing within it. As he matures, he is playing with more and more discipline. Favre had amazing arm talent, but never played with great discipline. I think intelligence and the trend toward disciplined play within a system that caters to Allen's talent give Josh Allen a higher ceiling than Favre.

Stats are crazy for QBs for they can barely be touched without a penalty even if QB causes issue (Chicago game) and zebras will "let them play" as opposed to games when WRs were regularly mugged and holding was called on Offense linemen.
