That does not mean that he couldnt end up being a great player....because he has so many physical skills True, True. Let's hope he brings together his entire package of leadership, arm, etc.. to be the guy we need. But if you're a QB with a 58% completion, along with a slightly below 1:1 TD to Interception ratio, along with some running ability...your name is Geno Smith.

Right now I think he is at 60 percent over 2 games..... I think that will improve as the season progresses

Moulds, Sammy was close.
Gugny Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 1 hour ago, Coach Tuesday said: Doesn't help that Allen wasn't regularly practicing with most of these guys until recently... 1 hour ago, joesixpack said: That's ALSO a legitimate beef. I've wanted Allen to start and practice with the ones since the draft. Here we go with the excuses, ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LABILLBACKER Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 1 hour ago, John from Riverside said: The Josh Allen pass to Clay to start the 2nd half........that SHOULD have been a touchdown but Clay waiting for the ball to get to him instead of fighting for it and let Darwin knock it away....if he catches that ball he might still be running A drop from RB Murphy on a crossing route.....that had the look of a HUGE play if he does not drop that ball I am seeing a lot of ppl getting on Josh Allen's bad throws from yesterday (of which he did) but pass targets HAVE to make plays on balls that are close to them I think both those plays had potential to be touchdowns Couldn't agree more John. The Clay route should've been a skinny post. Not a flat seam. The throw to Holmes was catchable. Every NFL caliber wr has a catch radius of 36 inches. Just because its 12 inches behind him doesn't mean he shouldn't make that play. Murphy just flat out dropped perfect pass. These wrs are soft and unmotivated Several need to be replaced Most of our OL ducks McB you want to help Josh, take a break from the defense and start focusing on OL/WR.....

PeterDude Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 15 minutes ago, John from Riverside said: His accuracy might not improve dramatically...... But we have seen in just a small bit of time that his footwork can improve dramatically....which affects mechanics....he looks much better then he did at Wyoming. The quality of his pass catcher's can also improve....thus improving the completion percentage. Yeah, I get the difference between completion percentage & accuracy. Ball placement is the issue. That is talent driven. I don't see that dramatically improving. Great QB's have very good to great ball placement. Good ball placement requires consistent accuracy, something Allen has lacked all of his career as a QB so far. I don't understand why people think this will get better, magically. It won't.

But like i said, with experience and better players around him, he will be better. But % is a good indicator .

Honestly do not think his ball placement is that bad...not for a rookie QB Keep in mind that he is not one of those dink and dunk QBs......Josh Allen goes for the home run plays

When's the last time we had eliteness at that position? the last elite wr we had was TO. Albeit past his prime. Other than that its Moulds. Kinda sad when you think about...2014 was a huge swing anda miss.

We ignore it and get by with Stevie Johnson.

MDH Posted September 17, 2018 Posted September 17, 2018 So basically what we’ve got on the board is one segment of fans who hated the Allen pick who can’t wait to call him a “bust” and another segment who wants to blame everyone but Allen for anything that happens on the field. This is the TT era all over again. I hope to hell Allen pans out if for no other reason that these binary readings of the Bills’ QB situation will be gone for the foreseeable future.
