Josh Allen on at noon

[JaCrispy]

He just hasn't impressed me BB. The play that was called offensive holding the ball fluttered. The sideline throw at the start of the drive was inaccurate his receiver had to come back and half dive for it negating YAC potential and he was wide open the D was playing way off.

 

Edit: and I have no preference for spread v pro-style. I just don't think Allen has looked impressive here so far. Missed the 1st drive.

At this point in time, Allen looks nothing better than a mid round pick to me...I recommend he stays in school.

Go on.... tell me that intentional grounding was good play.

Was going to be a sack if he didn't try to get rid of it.

Yeah but you're ignoring the fact that he's a tall white guy with all the "tools".

Ahhh all this from 1 half of play in the 1st game of the season. I cant believe you all are not employed by NFL teams.

Texas looks gross. Welcome to the Tim Beck offense, Longhorns.

If he had taken the sack earlier he'd have saved yardage 26.

For sure. Hard to fault the instinct to keep a play alive.

[Rico]

Maybe the next Ryan Mallett.

Well, the Wyoming punter is no Ray Guy.

[GunnerBill]

At least he looks better than his punter.

Whoa. I guess I was reinstated. Good timing. OK here's the deal. I live in Denver. I am a huge Wyoming football fan. I watch literally every game. I went to three of them last year and will go to more this year. As far as Allen is concerned, a few things here:

 

1. He lost like every offensive weapon he had last year- literally like four guys on NFL rosters right now. This is a young, inexperienced group he's playing with today- against a stout Big 10 defense. Regardless, they won't be as good as last year and he will probably put up worse numbers than he did last year.

 

2. You guys are aware last season was his first and only season as a D1 college football player, right?

 

3. His completion % was deceivingly low last year because they had virtually no screen/running back dump off passing game whatsoever. The vast, vast majority of his passes last year were thrown downfield.

 

Josh Allen should not be polarizing at all. He's a special talent. He has an absolute cannon, is big, strong, is a plus runner and throws across his body with more ease than any QB I've maybe ever seen. He's going to be an excellent pro.

This is the first full game of him I have seen. I can absolutely see at this stage why he is polarizing.

Thank you. Love this kind of "behind the numbers" info.

Some felt the same way about guys like Paxton Lynch...and EJ Manuel

sorry, my man...but there are analytics that say he is the most overrated QB in college football...don't take my word for it...just look at the numbers....people are getting too excited over his size and arm strength...it might not be as entertaining to watch, but I would take the Nate Petermans of the world over the Josh Allens any day...but of course, there is still time to improve...but Allen's improvement will have to be off the charts imo. And he has a very long way to go.

Josh Allen looks exactly like he did last year.

 

Big hat......no cattle.

Again, if you read my full post, he's playing with all freshmen and sophomores- none of whom were big time recruits, mind you- in a big, loud Big 10 house. And it's his first game playing with them. Watch his highlight reels from last season. There's really nothing not to like about him, I promise you.

It's just difficult for me to take your word for it when I have either watched or attended every game he's played as a college QB. There is no hype. He is the real deal.

nothing? His 56% completions with those better receivers last year didn't look at that enticing.
