Josh is getting dogged for his style just because he hasn't putting up Burrow-like numbers. Burrow-like numbers aren't necessarily needed to win a Super Bowl...

Starr Almighty Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Anyone else scared Josh is gonna text his junk to an unsuspecting lady? Since he's just like Farve 😳😳😳 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it would've been great to hear John Madden call a Josh Allen game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJS Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 13 hours ago, AlfaBill said: The comp percentage I think is also due to the inability to pass defend as one could in the 90’s. QB's took deep drop backs back then and threw the ball down the field. These days they are usually in shotgun and play the quick pass game more often. Quick passes have replaced some of the running game that was more prominent back then. More quick passes increases completion percentage. Plus, yeah, defenders were allowed to defend more back then.

Bocephuz Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 18 hours ago, EasternOHBillsFan said: The stat lines for both Josh Allen this season and the 1996 season of Brett Favre are eye opening: Josh Allen (15G): 32 passing TDs, 13 INTs, 63.4% CMP, 7 rushing TDs, 13 fumbles, 5 fumbles recovered. Brett Favre (16G): 38 passing TDs, 13 INTs, 59.9% CMP, 2 rushing TDs, 11 fumbles, 5 fumbles recovered. I knew that Josh was having a good season, but looking at this he is really having a GREAT season. In the 1996 season, Favre lost two games before going on a 5 game winning streak to end the season at 13-3 and then took that streak and rode it right to the championship, beating the 12-4 49ers, the 12-4 Panthers and the 11-5 Patriots. This bodes extremely well for us considering that Josh is not playing at 100% and he has progressed on a curve at a better pace than Favre did. I just thought I would provide a positive assessment before we play the Bengals! GO BILLS To me Josh is a mix of : Brett Favre - gun for an arm, mobile, creative, wreckless at times but gets away with most gambles Cam Newton - size, toughness, excellent runner Tony Romo - Josh's new throwing motion is pretty much a carbon copy of Romo's. There's been several interviews where Josh credited an offseason meeting with Romo as having a huge impact in how he approaches his throwing motion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure the amount of passing yardage has increased, and I left that out in my comparison, but the RELEVANT stats point to the fact that a QB that plays like Josh does can win a Super Bowl. If you don't get that then that's a you problem. yikes man. its way freaking different. The passing game and qb's are expected to be much more efficient with the football in 2022... I freaking love Josh Allen but using an MVP season from 1996 to downplay his TO's is a really bad look. geez. Favre completed 59% of his passes that year and still was in the top 10 for comp%. That wouldnt even crack the top 20 in todays nfl. He had a 95 qb rating which was 2nd in the whole league. That wouldnt even crack the top ten this year..... they're td #'s are similar cool. But josh needs to have much better efficiency #'s than a 1996 brett favre if we're winning the whole thing.

78thealltimegreat Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Farve was a much more talented Tony Romo and when he was on was insanely good. But quite frankly Josh is the second coming of John Elway he is the closest thing I have seen in the NFL to a one man gang since the 1980s Denver Broncos… with Josh the Bills win can the Super Bowl without him we would be talking about CJ Stroud and Bryce Young.
