Still, the positives being reported on Allen are eerily similar to those reported about Manuel, so it is understandable if a Bills fan is cautious. No offense...but Bills fans need to let EJ go. They are not even remotely the same players, were not drafted by the same people, dont have the same coaches, etc. I get Bills Fan warranted skepticism, but man this EJ comparison stuff really needs to go away and is completely irrelevant to Josh or this current team. Its pretty common here to hold the entire history of the franchise against a new HC...a new GM...a new Player. They have no correlation what so ever when all the pieces are different. The only way it could enter the conversation is if the same front office drafted both and you wanted to fairly question their judgement. But thats not whats at play here, people need to let Josh be Josh already. 1
Bangarang Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 This video sold me on Allen. Kid is going to be one of the greats.
Bing Bong Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 (edited) uh what quarterback would be fazed by a joke from a fellow pro. I'm cool with Allen but this isn't a cool story. If anything I want to see Allen talking back, Brett Favre style you don't think there's mutual respect when Warren Sapp says to Favre "you holding the ball too long" and Favre replies "is that all you got you fat f***?"

Yeah, no. Dont gi chirpping unless you have accomplished something. Otherwise you put an unwarranted bullseye on your self. Allen handled that perfectly fine. TMZ on the other hand is clown shoes.
Klaista2k Posted May 18, 2018 Posted May 18, 2018 Funny how nobody wanted Allen before the draft and now everyone is suddenly "coming around on him."

This shouldn't surprise you. What choice do fans have? Be pouty, whiney, know it all crybabies who refuse to support their teams decision because they think they know best? Yeah. When life hands you lemons you make the lemonade. 1

If you want to blindly categorize them together, fine...but its a completely jaded Bills fan false narrative. Does not mean Allen will be more or less successful, but they are not remotely the same player in college or entering the draft. 1

This is what happens when these fans live out their whole football knowledge on message boards and madden, without actually watching the players play 1

Not even remotely true. Mayfield thought the only QB that would go ahead of him as Allen. I think that speaks volumes about what pro evaluators felt. I don't much care what the kipers of the world say.

Nothing I have read or heard since has done anything to decrease my hope for this kid. I think he's going to be a good one.

Or did he totally brush off the fan asking for an autograph at the beginning of the video? It was at LAX, hardly constitutes a fan. More like a guy trying to get autographs to sell online. And it wasn't like it was a little kid. 1
