1 - Former NFL QB: Allen has brought hope to Buffalo
The best quarterbacks are those who are capable of physically taking over games, who can give their teams a chance to win regardless of the odds or circumstances.
Throughout the past three weeks, rookie Josh Allen has given his team a chance to win in each of his starts since returning from injury.
Though there are still rookie mistakes in his game, Allen has taken a significant step forward in his development in the second half of his debut campaign. He surpassed the 200-passing yard plateau twice in the past three weeks, a mark he hit just once in his first five starts. He’s also more than doubled his season rushing total over the past three contests.
Those who watch Allen can see that he has the tools necessary to develop into a franchise quarterback. Former NFL passer and current CBS analyst Brady Quinn feels as though the Bills have found their guy in Allen.
“I just feel like Josh Allen, he oozes so much potential and so much ability,” Quinn said on the Pick Six Podcast. “He’s 3-5 as a starter on the Bills. We’re talking about the Bills . . . He has given that team, that city, hope. He is so good and he has so much upside.”
Quinn will have the opportunity to watch Allen first-hand this weekend when he calls Buffalo’s Week 15 matchup with the Lions for FOX. The former first-round draft pick hopes that this will be the first of many Allen games that he gets to call.
