McCown is amazed at Allen's ability to process things mentally and do so under pressure calmly in a tough environment during stressful situations.  Said Allen has become who he is because of the way he processes the game mentally, not because of his running ability and arm strength.  Talks about how he would have taken easy throws in some situations where Allen pushes the ball deeper downfield.

 

 

 

I'm so glad to see an analysis that doesn't dwell wholly on Josh's physical gifts or his "work ethic."

 

Of course he's the total package so he has both those things but you read a lot on this site where people attribute his success to his work ethic.

 

If NFL success was as easy as work ethic Mike Viti would have been a multiple time All Pro: https://www.againstallenemies.com/2019/11/11/20960679/army-assistant-coach-mike-viti-former-fullback-wins-armed-forces-merit-award

 

Do you know how many American males have devoted every fiber of their body to succeeding in the NFL (including guys at the D3 level) and failed?

 

Josh is a highly-gifted person who possesses rare traits. That's the main reason he's as great as he is.

His arm strength is so amazing that he can throw a 25 yard pass and the DBs still don’t have enough time to react.

 

Yes, this is what people dont understand about arm strength.  They think its just the ability to throw the football downfield.  Like Fins fans arguing Tuas arm strength is fine because he can moonball with all his might and hit a 50 yard pass in the center of the field.  Thats not what arm strength is all about.

 

Both Fitz and Peterman are perfect examples of smart players that could read the play but didnt have the arm to get it to the receiver.
