mannc Posted December 2, 2018 Posted December 2, 2018 1 hour ago, Coach Tuesday said: I maintain his elbow is bothering him. He threw some ropes that no other QB can throw. He threw a bunch of ducks. He single-handedly kept the game competitive. He missed three open TDs... Could be. I thought maybe he injured his hand because the ball was not consistently coming out cleanly. Not sure what was going on. Give him credit that he was able to overcome it and still move the team down the field.

HS, Jr. College, Wyoming, now with the Buffalo Bills. His pass accuracy has never improved. Sorry! He is number 2 in yards per attempt since they started keeping stats in 2007. That's the good news. The bad news, he's completed less than 25% of those passes..... that were over 10 yards per attempt. Yeah he is a good athlete but he has a damn long way to go to be a competitive quarterback in this league. I call whiff so far. His wobbly off-target passes cost us the game today hands down. I want him to do well but it isn't happening this year. Hopefully next. Edited December 2, 2018 by jaybee

Guest K-GunJimKelly12 Posted December 2, 2018 Posted December 2, 2018 If you aren't behind Josh Allen right now then you should probably stop watching football altogether because you care more about being proven right than anything else. What he did today was pretty great for a rookie. His ability out of the pocket both throwing and running might be the best in the league right now. Give him a year and he is going to be nearly unstoppable. The fact that he basically ran for 100 yards in two straight games is pretty incredible in itself. Get him a line and a few more legit weapons and it is going to be good times in Buffalo. If you can't see now why we took him 7th overall and why some had him as the #1 pick on their draft boards then you are probably clueless about football all together. I think by the end of this season most of you will be doing a Mea Culpa about Allen.

This is what I was hoping for all season. I'm a little more boisterous today than usual. IF Clay could of made that catch and rolled into the end zone.........he had that much time AND Ryan and the disappointing Falcons could of beat the Ravens the Bills would of only been 1 game out of the Wild Card. It could of made the next couple of Sundays much more fun. That being said, it was a good 2nd half of a football game! 1

All I am saying is he does not look like a good passing quarterback. Good running quarterback... Yes. Good passing quarterback. So far, not even a little bit. 1
Rico Posted December 2, 2018 Posted December 2, 2018 Well, so much for having him sit and watch Barkley. 1

All I am saying is he does not look like a good passing quarterback. Good running quarterback... Yes. Good passing quarterback. So far, not even a little bit. He is never going to be the 65% guy but you don't have to be in the league today. He is a rare talent and his ability out of the pocket is about as good as it gets. Defenses will have to account for that ability and it will open up the field for him when he is in the pocket. He is going to make enough big plays with both his arms and feet to be a force in this league. When you consider what he has around him especially a poor, poor offensive line, he is playing at a very high level already. People are evaluating him like he is playing in his 3rd year when he has started 7 games. He is far right now from where his ceiling will end up. An off-season where the Bills add capable offensive lineman, 2 or 3 more weapons at WR/TE, and where the coaches can really work with him and develop the offense around his skills and you will see, everyone will see. The microscope on him because of his pre-draft accuracy concerns are skewing peoples judgment on him. He is never going to be the most accurate but there are a lot of accurate, great QB's that make some very inaccurate passes. The difference is when Allen does it, people are falling over themselves to say "see, I told you he isn't accurate." I think it is sad that some are letting their Bills pessimism because of what we have all endured in the past as fans is getting in the way of seeing what could be a very special player at the QB position for the Bills for years to come. Allen is a baller and he is going to win a lot of games in the NFL. Edited December 2, 2018 by K-GunJimKelly12

One of the things I am impressed with He is throwing the ball away and not playing hero ball with it......he will by himself time.....but when it has to be thrown away it is being thrown away
DuckyBoys Posted December 2, 2018 Posted December 2, 2018 He is getting better I hope he soon learns to take some check downs on early downs instead of always looking deep I think he will add that to his game soon I have my fingers crossed they figure out how to get him difference maker to throw it to. Zay is coming along nicely. Maybe we get lucky and land a fast physical #1 or a match up nightmare TE I sincerely hope Clay and KB are no longer on the team after 2018
Kelly the Dog Posted December 2, 2018 Posted December 2, 2018 It's very encouraging that he is getting better and doing different things. He's throwing the ball away right at the last half-second. He's going through progressions. He's changing his velocity and lobbing the ball instead of gunning it when necessary (although not always but he is doing it more). He threw some bad passes today but also threw a ton of good if not great ones. And a lot of times we don't really know what was the real reason for the incompletion. I thought it was a bad pass to Zay in the endzone when he was wide open, but it turns out that Zay was supposed to sit on the pattern not continue it. Josh threw it exactly where he was supposed to and it would have been an easy TD. It looked like he misfired and people will B word about his inaccuracy but that wasnt the case. It was a great throw.

Get a couple of receivers in the offseason and we are in business. Better find some real lineman, a big concern I think people miss
The Virginian Posted December 3, 2018 Posted December 3, 2018 2 hours ago, Returntoglory said: He also had one of the worst WR Ensembles in College Football. If you cannot see the talent this kid has, you best stick with beer league soccer. In 2017, yes. His 2016 receivers were fantastic. Check out Tanner Gentry, for example, at Wyoming. You need those kind of receivers in Buffalo.

jlgarsh Posted December 3, 2018 Posted December 3, 2018 3 hours ago, HappyDays said: Yep he's gotten much better in the intermediate passing game. He had a few really outstanding throws in the 2nd half that gave his receivers plenty of room for YAC. The 3 passes on the last drive to get us to the red zone were huge plays. His pass to DiMarco was gorgeous. 1
