Reader Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 Here's hoping that Brown and Beasley can improve this. PFF twitter post. Allen is tied for 2nd at 6.3%. 2 1
Billsfansinceday1 Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 Benji helped those stats a lot. So did Josh’s 99 mph fastball from 5 yards away. With Benji (and a new group of WRs) gone and a year under Josh’s belt I am pretty confident things will be different this year...I hope. 2
TroutDog Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 I’m content with who they brought in this year in the WR room. All of the FA’s have proven hands and with Josh, hopefully, working on touch in his short game, we should see an uptick. The separation that Beasley can get, alone, will help. 1
papazoid Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 immediately the charles clay endzone drop comes to mind 3 2 2
HansLanda Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 I wouldn't be shocked if Daboll puts Allen in position to make many more high-percentage check down throws with Cole in the mix to balance homerun shots.
Augie Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) Imagine if we could also stop getting big plays called back on penalties! Maybe I’m going too far......but a guy can hope! It did seem like an unusual number of poorly timed penalties. I know, there’s never a goood time, but..... . Edited May 2, 2019 by Augie 9 3
CountryCletus Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) That’s exactly how I had him graded... and within 2 picks of where I assumed he would go... I’m not shocked at all... oh wait... wrong thread... Edited May 2, 2019 by CountryCletus

We all agree Josh needs to be better at taking the "short stuff" to improve, but how many times did what's bolded above actually happen last year? I'll hang up and listen. 2 2

I'll hang up and listen. You are correct. Sarcastic hyperbole is difficult. Josh needs to do a better job of controlling his velocity on short passes. Does that work for you? 1
aristocrat Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 i hope allen was just working on his screens and slants all off season. If he hits those this team will be fun to watch. 1
wppete Posted May 2, 2019 Posted May 2, 2019 Couple the drops with all the pressure and sacks the oline gave up, Josh Allen didn’t even have a chance last year and he seemed to look like a great QB in the making. This year should be a lot different. 1

I hope Allen can make that kind of throw then. That's was his biggest weakness, from college and last year...

Having multiple new receivers and tight ends who can catch is one on my greatest reasons for optimism this year. That and competent O line coaching AND talent.

He does need to work on his ball placement a bit. 3

I think this was almost worse than the drops. Not just having first down plays called back, but man it seemed like we were starting 1st and 2nd and 15+ more than starting with only 10 to go. Josh actually threw down field to help counter it, but with our last several QB’s we would have given up on the drive before it began 1

Velocity wasn’t the issue in most cases...particularly after he returned from injury. He simply was too sporadic with his short throws. Edited May 2, 2019 by TroutDog

A lot of people point to Josh’s only bad game after injury being there patriots (who are known to destroy rookie qb’s) but there were three dropped TD passes in that game, assuming you include the one Foster lost in the sun. The bullet through Logan’s hands in back right side of end zone really frustrated me especially, it was a great tough throw with perfect ball placement away from DB 1
