Big Turk Posted December 3, 2018 Posted December 3, 2018 I was a little surprised by all the positive coverage of Allen after the game(which I thought was by far his best to date), but I have to say I was shocked that 2 Dolphin beat writers went out of their way to say Allen is basically the QB they wish they had. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/spt-columns-blogs/armando-salguero/article222521360.html http://www.palmbeachpost.com/sports/20181202/lieser-buffalo-bills-josh-allen-is-qb-miami-dolphins-wish-they-had Dolphin players were also very impressed and said they think he is going to be a really good player and were surprised at how poised he was for a rookie. 3 2
dlonce Posted December 3, 2018 Posted December 3, 2018 The Miami Herald writer, Armando Salguero, was on WGR earlier this week proclaiming this. This game validates it. Its no surprise in this case.

Thanks for sharing. I know people want to point out his flaws, and there are a lot of things he needs to work on, but this is the guy we have been looking for and waiting for all of these years. He's a gamer, with guts, a huge arm, super smart. hard worker, and his teammates love him. Plus he has the size, big hands and all that stuff. He stands tall in the pocket and made some big throws with people all over him. He's special. 13 1

For my part, I'm typically depressed after a Bills loss, turn off football the rest of the day and avoiding online articles the morning after. While not wishing for any losing at any time, I kept watching football yesterday to see how some other QBs looked. BTW, Ben Roethlisberger throws some inaccurate passes as well. Also I've been looking for stories since I woke up. Two words... Josh Allen! 3
Juice_32 Posted December 3, 2018 Posted December 3, 2018 This is the byproduct of actually watching the kid play vs looking at the box score. Eventually the national media types will come around too. The way he plays the game makes it damn fun to watch. 2
ChronicAndKnuckles Posted December 3, 2018 Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) I was pretty impressed by the Dolphins performance as well. They are a tough team and it was a great game win or loss. Allen is a gamer and he's going to be a superstar just based on his toughness and the way he plays even if he doesn't put up monster stats every year. Other players around the league are starting to take notice. Edited December 3, 2018 by ChronicAndKnuckles

Other players around the league are starting to take notice. I'm still in shock over just how fast he is. Dude pulls away from LBs chasing him like they are stuck in quicksand. It almost mitigates the ability of a team to put a spy on him...they can spy him but he can simply still just outrun the player like he did a few times yesterday. 3

Jerome007 Posted December 3, 2018 Posted December 3, 2018 Well I have asked the questions to the eternal "Allen is a bust" posters. Would you rather have Tannehill or Josh as your QB? My answer is clearly the player actually on the Bills roster.

flmike Posted December 3, 2018 Posted December 3, 2018 I had to listen to the Miami coverage of the game while driving yesterday. First, they are really terrible. You have wait a long time to find out what happened on the field while they bloviate about what happened 10 minutes ago. Three guys in the booth doesn't work, btw. That said, they were constantly amazed by Allen - and their reaction when they though Clay had caught the ball was priceless. 1 hour ago, \GoBillsInDallas/ said: Yeah, but she leaves perfectly good AR-15s in rental cars.
Big Turk Posted December 3, 2018 Author Posted December 3, 2018 I'd like to give her a few good "stiff"-arms while she is playing wide receiver or tight end....
Magox Posted December 3, 2018 Posted December 3, 2018 So multiple Miami players, coaches and beat writers were showering praise of Allen. They all believed he has a very bright future. I cant remember a game after a loss that I felt as good of the future of the Bill's as this last one. 5

LeGOATski Posted December 3, 2018 Posted December 3, 2018 They noted during the broadcast that Miami probably would've drafted Allen if he was available, so this has been a sentiment in Miami for a while, apparently.
DJB Posted December 3, 2018 Posted December 3, 2018 A couple of my Dolphins buddies were saying the same thing that Allen looks like the real deal.

The Bills are definitely closer to being successful. As a Miami fan I would be worried another elite QB was coming into the division. They may have lucked in to a win but there is a good chance we knock them out of the playoff hunt next time we play them. Next year we should be set up to win the division and they are stuck with Tannehill.
