What Wyoming OC Brent Vigen said about Josh Allen’s completion percentage
‘Numbers are numbers, and his completion percentage number did not improve from one year to the next. I know that I saw a marked improvement on his ball placement and decision-making. You can go through every single one of these quarterbacks that were just drafted and put together a low-light reel. You really could. That’s just football. That’s playing the quarterback position, the toughest position to play in all of sports. I’ve seen all the low-light reels, and those plays frustrate me. Each one of those plays has a story. It’s not always about what Josh Allen did wrong. He wasn’t perfect, like I said. I think completion percentage is a lot of times a function of your offense. Albeit, we had a first-round quarterback, but we underachieved as an offense. That’s not all on him. He has to bare the brunt of the criticism for that completion percentage.’

He came out with his long arms and lanky body and smoked me, and I remember he put his head right in my chest and I was like, ‘what? Who is this kid?’ He deserves everything he’s getting. He’s a great man, a great player and I’m excited to see him out there.”’

Bills Today: Bruce Arians sees potential in Josh Allen
‘“I love his size, stature and arm strength,” said Arians. “His accuracy was a problem, but I think working with Jordan Palmer they’ve fixed some of that. But that’s not live bullets.
