The OP made a good point/comparison.
But you are getting carried away.
The Patriots dominated the league for nearly 20 years using a very different approach............it'll take a lot of "nurturing" for anyone to accomplish half of what they've done.
Most NFL dynasties were built on competition for jobs, motivation by any means necessary and cold blooded management decisions.
I do not get your point. How does an individual's quest to be great track with how an organization manages its business in a two decade run of excellence? Josh's back story is part of what makes him who he is. As he has often said "You bloom where you are planted." Family, Firebaugh, coaches at every level, Reedley, Wyoming, the Bill and his unique situation with Palmer. Surround yourself with people that believe in you wherever you can find them and bust your butt to give them the satisfaction of being right.

It takes fuel, oxygen and heat to make a fire. If any of the 3 is missing then there is no fire. In an SAT type analogy, it takes special talent (physical and/or mental) a nurturing environment that can foster growth (family, community, coaches, peers and opportunity) and true passion to be great at anything. I think JAQB17 is upper echelon in all 3 components.

I remember watching a certain Bills vs Patriots game where Knox made an absolutely ridiculous catch with Patrick Chung draped all over him. It was a remarkable catch for any reciever, let alone a TE.. then I flash back to so many "easy" passes literally bouncing off his hands.
I dont know what to make of it all.
When he is in tight coverage he is totally focused on making the catch. When running in the open he wants to know where the defenders are and is less focused on the ball. That's my theory anyways.

Maybe this was posted here back around the time of the draft but this is an interesting article by Brentley Weissman of The Draft Network which appeared there on 4/8. I think he underplays the part that relatively mediocre pro day workout numbers he posted had on creating his drop in most ratings but he had him #11 on his draft board. I'll say this, when a 19 year old has a season like he had in 2019 it likely points to there being something special about him.
WHY HAS GREGORY ROUSSEAU FALLEN SO FAR?
The conclusion:
"At the end of the day, Rousseau’s rare length, agility, and sheer power allow him to make plays that other defenders simply can’t. Do I wish he was quicker twitched and had more of a sample size to go off of? Sure. However, I struggle to see why folks are down on this player when, for the most part, his tape is excellent—and from a physical traits standpoint, he has it all."

That was really interesting. A name I didn't see was Marv Hubbard. He played for Randolph Highschool and had a very good career with the Raiders.
I played against his brother in high-school football.
Marv and Shane were mentioned in the article.

Jim McCusker from Jamestown, a DT who played from 1958 to 1964.

Big improvement in the running stats in the last 9 vs. the first 7. Unsettled OL, Moss with turf toe and pass heavy play calls contributed to a slow start. I'd suspect these yards before contact numbers were really bad in the first 7 games.

Watch until the end. He wasn't wrong. Lol.
Here it is. I have the link to this video copied and ready to paste into a post if someone hadn't done so already. Doug should be in sales or maybe politics.

Knox is one of those players who can make insane catches, but also drops easy ones. To me, that means he is either over thinking things (since drops are probably on his mind), or he is not concentrating enough for the easy ones, as others have pointed out.
I think his issues can be fixed. He actually caught a bunch of TD's at the end of the season and was one of our more consistent scoring threats.
At this point, I would expect him to be the #1 TE on the depth chart unless the Bills trade for Ertz or someone similar.
when he is making a tough, contested catch he has shown some talent. When he has attempted catches where he is unsure of where the defenders are he has shown lapses. I think that describes a big portion of his drops.

👍🏻 I agree, he’s my guy and I wouldn’t trade him for Mahomes or any other QB in the league.
One thing we need to take into consideration though and it has been mentioned in other threads in the past: Josh’s one amazing season took place during a season in which there were little to no fans in every game. The AFCCG was the biggest crowd of the year and, while our OL and offensive game plan certainly weren’t up to the challenge of the chiefs average D...... I don’t think Josh responded very well either.
After reading several opinions here regarding how a full crowd wouldn’t have affected his season very much, I can’t say that I agree with that completely. I’m obviously not a professional athlete with lots of big crowd experience, but in the 20 or so important games I’ve played in my lifetime, I was able to sense the size of the crowd and the magnitude of the moment to a much finer degree when playing in front of thousands of people as opposed to a few hundred. I would say that my play was below par throughout the first quarter or so of the big games, partly due to the pressure of playing in front of so many people. It’s not as if Josh was a dominant success story throughout his career. 2020 was his best season as an athlete, HS, college or professional. And it was in front of little to no fans.
Again.....I’d still take Josh over Mahomes, but stringing together dominating seasons in front of full stadiums is another feather in Mahomes’ cap that Josh has yet to achieve
I have heard this angle on his play, maybe by you, to which I have replied that Josh has shown a better performance over his career in road games. This may be slanted by few more extra windy games at home but at the very least it seems to say that Josh is a road warrior and a hostile crowd does not affect him in significant way. Think Vikings, Dolphins and Cowboys road games. I will say this about your point that when things seem to be slipping away he can go batshit crazy, desperately trying to make a play but usually that's more due to game circumstances created just as much by the team performance in general as by him. The Texans playoff game is often cited but there were plenty of instances where his teammates came up less than they needed to be.
Now if you are talking more of an emotional state of being vs. the actual difficulties presented by operating with the added difficulties of being overwhelmed by crowd noise, then maybe that's something to look for and I will keep an open mind on it.

Like I said, you’re certainly entitled to your opinion. Outside of a bills website, you won’t find many, if any; that agree with you. Allen is ascending and may eventually be better. He hasn’t proven that he’s better imo and in the opinion of most football fans outside of bills mafia
By most measures, Josh had a better 2020 than Mahomes did. He is ascending as you say and has yet to show a seasonal regression in performance.although maybe we'll see it this year. Mahomes was more what he is now right out of the box in a much better offense but he has not equaled the 2018 season in his last two. When your first full year as starter is an MVP performance, it's tough to see it go up from there. If you believe in trends and projections then Josh looks to be his equal over the next decade. He is our guy and we should be happy to ride with him and see where this thing goes.

Remember his back shoulder pass on a slant, that caused McKenzie (maybe) to stop on dime, and turn in the opposite direction to catch the ball, all the while his momentum spun him around into open space for a TD? The DB was completely out of the picture.
I do not believe anyone (Allen included) intended for that to happen (it was just a slant and he missed).
Wow did that work out! If only “that” could be a SCRIPTED play!
I want to say it was against the Lions or Jaguars his rookie year. Or maybe the Dolphins, I’m not sure, haha....But it was remarkable!

Reading a little further, I see that it was. That was the image that popped into my head too when reading your post.

Like I said in a previous thread, I don't think our RB depth chart is as bad as many make it out to be. I think we have a solid group and there will be some real competition in camp this year. Having an actual TC/Preseason to evaluate will also be helpful for all involved as well. Someone is going to end up being the odd man out and it won't be for lack of ability.
I can't help but think that the reason most think so little of our RB group is that none of them are great options in Fantasy football. The Bills offense is by design one that lacks the elements to feature one RB. In Reality football these guys can and do contribute to a dynamic, pass first, QB driven offense, Moss is a great pass protector and a good target. The QB rating throwing to him was 107. Josh takes goal-to-goal carries away from both of them. While I do like what Moss brings more than Singletary, it's pretty clear that the way Devin was used at FAU means he has more work to do as a pro to fit into the offense. Both are good at breaking tackles which is an under appreciated skill, contact balance is the new scoutspeak term. The home games vs. NE and LAC showed what these guys can do when the running game is more featured in their plan.

Toward the end of last season I wrote some lyrics to make a sort of Bills Mafia anthem parody. It was to the tune of, well you'll figure it out. The first verse was.........
Cheer for Our Forces
Well a fan posted on Two Bills Drive
Said the Bills have been dissed and we ought to come alive
Somebody has twisted the truth, somebody has mangled some math
Somebody needs to feel some mafia wrath
Yeah, Bills' Mafia wrath.

While AtlantaBills84 could have easily looked for a wallpaper image on his/her own, I think it makes a nice topic as "what Josh Allen image that you have seen would be great to use for a wallpaper on my phone." I made my contribution and would like to see what others come up with.

i like this one. The roof, the flag, Josh looking like he's reaching the ball out through the screen while flying. Anthony Barr posterized three times by Josh in one game.

There was that bad loss to the Jets last year in week 16. That was a head scratcher.
