Bills should take both off his hands.

"seemed like the same old Josh to me" My God. I'll take the same old Josh if it means 5 touchdowns a game.

You don’t seem to understand football.

How many would you consider “inaccurate”? You might have a different definition but my idea of accuracy is a “catchable” ball, a reasonable chance it would get caught and/or put in a place to make a positive play. Even on completed passes, an inaccurate throw made the receiver make a negative play (was wide open and could have made a much more positive play if thrown well). Also take into account pressure and expectation of making a good throw.

The offensive talent isn’t that different (see: Larry Fitzgerald) but I agree we should withhold judgment for a few years. However, it would be fair to say if the roles were reversed the Bills fan base would be in full meltdown mode and yapping we have the wrong Josh. It’s bad enough too many fans are not happy with Allen’s season but I’d like to think they’re in a vocal yet small minority.

I can’t help you if you don’t watch the games. That and the magical 300 yards. Too many fans and pundits can’t seem to grasp the difference between “accuracy” and completion percentage. Allen has a dynamic vertical passing game. He has done this without a run game, with a poor offensive line and a poor to unknown receiver corps. I’m constantly amazed by fans and so-called experts who don’t see a QB who consistently makes plays, who could make every throw, who throws a beatiful ball, who has increasingly displayed touch, savvy and smart decisions — and has only played on nine games. If you’re not excited then there is no hope for you.

It may help if you watch the games.

Yeah, he should not be throwing balls away under pressure. Instead he should take sacks or try to force throws. He should also try catching his throws because his receivers have a problem with balls that hit their hands.

In what way does Allen’s game not translate? Too many first downs? Can make any throw? Is an elite threat to run? Can lead a bunch of B teamers to victory?

I’ll say this for his ability: He’s damn good and I’m very happy he’s the Bills QB.

i don’t remember the flare. So that’s one wide open miss. Even the elite QBs have a few each game but too many fans expect Allen perfection even in his eigth game. Most of throws I saw were on the money or catchable.

Agree, Waldman doesn’t even consider the ball was meant for McKenzie which I believe deflected off his fingertips. McKenzie appears to be the better read anyway as he’s moving away from safety help.

I don’t recall any wide open misses by Allen.

In Miami game he had no more inaccurate throws than you would expect from any Top 10 QB. Almost ever pass was a 15+ yard pass between the numbers. Most of the touch passes were on the money and two were beautiful (Zay’s drop and wheel route to DiMarco). He’s not Brady or Brees but he also has demonstrated potential.

Oh my. You must be fun.

At 3:11, they had a 3rd and 12 at their 3 yard line, Allen threw a 22 yard rope to Jones. He also looked VERY accurate.

I grow a beard every once in a while and now I'm in for the long haul. The itchy is annoying but can be alleviated by using beard oil in the morning and at night. Oil has a few uses but for me it keep your skin moisturized, which is what causes most of the itch. It takes 2-3 weeks for itch to ease off and then you are in the clear. Keep using the oil for as long as you have it.

Agree except for the examples. Missed Zay throw was a miscommunication, not an accuracy issue. I will fight anyone who says the Clay throw was inaccurate. That was a thing of beauty. Under the same circumstances, maybe Aaron Rodgers in his prime makes that throw but I can't think of anyone else would be capable. The inception was not a good read/throw but I do wonder about McDermott's comment that alluded to the lack of crispness on KB's route. Allen has a lot to work out but I'm even encouraged by his touch passes (Zay on the WR screen for 2 points, and the floater to DiMarco)

Agree. This question has been examined many times and there is NO correlation between a "running" QB and more frequent injury. In fact, statistically, there is no difference at all between "pocket" and "mobile" passers. The only correlation between injury and a play is the sack, and even that's on the edge. I apologize for the possible hyperbole but there just hasn't been many QBs with Allen's skill set. He and Lamar Jackson may turn out to be a bust but it won't be because of his physical tools.

He might try but there is no way McBeane could ever again sell "the process" if they bolt Buffalo.

Yeah, we need a QB that when it’s 4th and 11 the OL allows a jailbreak pass rush, the QB scrambles to avoid two sure tackles, then sprints to his left and throws a very catchable ball on the run to his right 50(!) yards to the goal line where it’s dropped by the receiver. If only there was a QB (anywhere) who could make a better throw.

“Sources?”

No, wrong. Sorry, that’s a cop out. If this was true, football, hockey players and boxers would be cited for violence-related acts at a far higher rate than the rest of the population (especially if adjusted for getting targeted because of their profession). I’d bet that you see football players are no more prone to kicking women than say an office of accountants. What about prison guards? Any stats to show that they are much more violent? You’d certainly think so give that it’s a high stress, low pay job whereby they can get killed on a daily basis.

The “effort” is reflective of the dirtball. This “example” is exactly who he is.

Scott Adams is an unfunny dirt ball.
