I liked Mahomes coming out, he was considered a project, many of the folks here saying 'I told you so' were probably critical of him coming out. Bottom line is we had no GM, keeping Whaley for a year like that was so weird, never seen anything like that before and that's a super fair criticism. I LOVE ALLEN but the talent we've put around him is also an extremely fair criticism.

I'd focus on quick screen passes, plays designed to get the ball out fast. I think they are trying to go vertical a little too much and it's causing Allen to hold on the ball too much. Our line sucks, ball needs to come out fast fast fast, besides, that's the bread and butter in the NFL, stop playing hero.

I know, right? The funny thing is with QBs, they are different from every other position in football, truth is, even average QBs can turn into good ones when they hit 30 and hell they may even play till their 40. QBs like Mahomes and Watson are anomalies, not the standard, you got to give them credit, they're exceptional. Look at QBs like Josh McCown, career backup for 75% of his career, now here he is in his 30s and he's actually a decent QB. Hell, Andy Dalton was OK for years now I think at 30 his best football is still ahead of him. QBs are like fine wine, they get better as they age. Even Bortles and Mariota I'd still say the jury is out on them. Bills fans may not want to hear but it may take awhile before Allen fully develops, fans want it now, but it may take awhile.

First year doesn't count, at all. If this were year 2? Yes, I'd be worried, but game 3? Not even the slightest bit. I believe in 2nd, 3rd and 4th chances if I see an upward trajectory.

Why would you make such a screen name? You have it out for the guy, you aren't treating him fair at all. Would you like it if you weren't given a fairshake at all? We all deserve a fairshake in life, all of us.

Thanks for being a voice of reason, Jared Goff and Carson Wentz, two of arguably the hottest QBs in the league right now did not post crazy numbers as rookies. Allen is going to have to take his lumps, it's a good thing he's out there though, he just has to learn on the job. The physical tools are tremendous though, arm strength, mobility, extremely hard to bring down. He absolutely has no help at all, nobody.

What a waste of talent, !@#$ the Colts and meth head Jim Irsay.

Sadly, I think we lose this one. I just want to see Allen tear it up again.

He's definitely due, definitely due. Keep in mind that even though he's struggling, he still has put up 1,000 yards twice in his career. Yes, he's been underwhelming but his past production is his past production.

You do that and he beats you with his arm, you can't win honestly.

This is tough, really good question man, we'll just have to wait and see and hopefully watch some real good football in the meantime.

I don't think so, McCarron made some stupid mistakes in preseason, mistakes a 5 year vet shouldn't make, I'll take the 5th thank you. This is Allen's team now, I'm glad McCarron isn't here to potentially divide the locker room, Allen is in charge now.

Steroids maybe?

This is Allen's team, players need to come to him, Bradford is a distraction and may potentially undermine Allen.

Nope. Sorry, not a chance at all. Rodgers is #2 all time behind Brady, he will screw Edmunds and our young defense. Hope Allen has a good game though, at least more progress.

Thanks, I'm glad I skipped the first 4 pages and directly read this comment, I feel better now. Thanks.

I'm really pulling for Hue, I think he's a good coach and Mayfield could save his job.

Meh, no worries! Every mistake I've made has made me into the man I am today, no regrets!!! DONT BE SORRY! Just try and keep an open mind on Josh Allen next week if he plays like a rookie, bout all you can do.

Are you kidding? The WR wrap around fumble was on the WR, not his fault. Bottom line is QBs handle the ball more than any other player, Favre holds the record for most turnovers, it's the nature of the beast. Your expectations are WAY too high, Allen was responsible for 3 TDs (should have been 4), that equals 48 TDs over a 16 game season, no QB can maintain that, nobody. If you aren't happy now, you do not understand football, AT ALL.

Thing is, Minnesota had a top 10 defense last year, this wasn't the Browns defense or some other bottom feeder, the Vikes are a good team. My concern is how much Allen was asked to do, he was asked to be excellent and I think that's unsustainable, nobody can do that week in, week out. Nobody.

It's actually bound to happen at some point, eventually Allen will look like a rookie, but it's a FACT that he has flashed star potential.

Yeah, he's terrible. Not even close to good at all, mega bust.

I think so too. Perfection is the enemy of good, I think Zay can be ok.

Lotulelei had that one really really good play when they lined him off the edge, clocked the RB hard man! Looks like he may actually be a decent free agent acquisition after all.

I'd wait until he is a free agent next year, would definitely definitely definitely sign him to a lucrative deal then.
