ColoradoBills Posted May 26, 2018 Posted May 26, 2018 It's only OTAs but is very encouraging hearing the positive reviews of Josh Allen. I also want a Bill's QB thread to be above the Josh Rosen thread so I bumped this! 1

He said he had a nice day, missed a few throws, had some really good throws, but really likes the zip he has on the ball. He thought that they might have simplified reads at this point, so might not be asking him to do too much. He likes his energy and interaction with his teammates and coaches. As a side note, did anyone else listen to the segment from yesterday? Bulldog was asking Sal how Allen talks and was curious what he thought about Beane's comment about how Allen "is Buffalo." Bulldog was starting to talk about how it kind of rubbed him the wrong way, because Beane's only been around for a year and doesn't know what "being Buffalo" is. Schopp interrupted and said something like, Beane's comments were around the time that Allen's old tweets came out. Bulldogg interrupted him before he really got to the point, but certainly sounded like Schopp's point was going to be, Beane thinks Buffalonians are racist, so is Allen, so Allen "is Buffalo." Now, this seems ridiculous, especially to think a GM would say something so ridiculous, but it is Schopp we're talking about. It starts right around the 3:10 mark. Maybe I'm totally misinterpreting what Schopp is saying, so please feel free to call me a moron if I'm totally wrong. https://d3efjls8gnbg8i.cloudfront.net/1642018/122814472.mp3?rhihttphost=wgr550.hosted.cx I just heard Schopp's quip about Allen's twitter controversy and whether that was what made Allen totally Buffalo. Comes across as a poorly thought out cheap-shot, that hung there without comment from Sal and Bulldog, and one Schopp had the good sense not to pursue. 1

Obviously a QB has to hold the ball longer on a play that is developing further down the field. I think we can all agree that it takes longer for a play 20 yards down the field then it does 8 yards down the field. It is not how long the QB holds the ball but how quickly the can release it once the WR is open. I have seen many reports that Allen has a quick release. How quickly he gets the ball out of his hand when he is suppose to is what they should be talking about. Comments from his girlfriend don't mean much here. 1

How ever, Allen by all accounts was impressive as well. The majority of focus should be on Allen not Rosen, I’d imagine if allen had a practice like Mayfield this thread would be 30 pages deep 2

Especially when people have an agenda to fill.

I tend to not get excited in OTA's, with no pass rush, etc. Word is he was holding the ball much longer so if it was real live action may not have that much time. On 5/24/2018 at 8:14 PM, GimmeSomeProcess said: Word is from who? I’ve read no report like that There was something like that said, I think it might have been Chris Brown on One Bills Live, but it wasn't a dig or a negative. They were talking about how Allen was connecting on more down field throws than the other two quarterbacks who were throwing to their outlets and to shorter routes more (you know get the ball out quick, west coast/Brady style). And then he said something like Allen was holding the ball a little longer waiting for the deeper routes to develop. It wasn't, oh man he's hanging onto the ball too long, he's gonna get sacked constantly or it's making him late on his throws (because he was connecting on almost all of them). I think it was just a style/big arm thing...Josh is a bit more of a gunslinger. And at least this early in his career, that doesn't worry me, it excites me. Edited May 27, 2018 by folz

Mellow1 Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 How hard could it be to impress in Buffalo? The Standard is below average at best.

ChasBB Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 It's only OTAs, so there's no point in a lot of hype about anyone right now, imo. The bottom line is that the Bills have 3 QBs who could legitimately win the starting job week 1. And whoever that is will have to prove they can keep it because there will be two other capable QBs who will each be glad to take over, if needed. That's a good spot to be in, really - great to have competition at the QB position. If the starter is Allen, great. I think I'd be ok with any of the 3 winning the job in a legitimate competition. I think Bills can win with any of them enough times to make another playoff run. We'll see. I'm the optimistic sort, most times. I like all 3 QBs.

Hey John from Riverside,,Im from Riverside as well but a long time ago. Yeah i dont post much cuz just like at the old Bills Forum people with differences of opinion seem to lurk so they can complain about someone elses opinion. I wish him well but not excited about running around in shorts. Nothing impressive about it.
