london_bills Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 Best development for Allen is to stay in the pocket and throw.

LSHMEAB Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 Yeah. A little. I was never really on board to begin with, but seeing the same mistakes in year 2 is concerning. He's also going to continue to get banged up if he continues to run the way he does and that is his calling card. If he can't become more efficient, it's just not going to happen. Love the kid. Love his moxie. He's really grown on me as a human being. But I just don't know at this point. 1

Say what you will, but I am an Allen fan. I want to see him succeed. But I’m at the point where I need to see more progress. There’s no way he should have played as poorly as he did yesterday Just now, LSHMEAB said: Yeah. A little.

Boatdrinks Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 8 minutes ago, Phil The Thrill said: You are correct - I never compared EJ to Allen and I never thought Barkley should be played over Allen. But to be fair....I don’t think anyone is hailing the NE defense as being THAT good. That’s a bit of an exaggeration Have you listened to sports talk radio, watched NFLN or ESPN ? They are unabashedly gushing over NE on a daily basis. They’re wrong, but they are saying it.

Slide!! I found that more frustrating than the interceptions Slide. You need to be there for the next play. 1
Bongo Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 6 minutes ago, Phil The Thrill said: Why? Because I think he’s young and still learning. Was it frustrating when he would look for the hero pass downfield vs. taking the short play? Yes. Has he also led us back for wins? Yes. The talent is there. The leadership is there. It’s too early, in my opinion, to give up on him. I still think he’ll be the answer and one loss to a great defense after he has been knocked out of it by a bull#### hit before he could potentially complete yet another comeback doesn’t change my mind. I think that is way too emotionally kneejerk.

There’s no way he should have played as poorly as he did yesterday Nicely said - I’m in the same boat as you. Obviously 4 turnovers a game cannot continue. It will be the end of JA if it does so no use in worrying. He will be replaced if it does. If the Bills HC and GM are ok with his progress, that’s what matters. Winning games matters most. Even with his mistakes, It was very possible that Allen pulls that game out. I didn’t get that sense with Barkley, but that’s just me. Anyway, it’s hardly shocking he had a bad outing vs a BB defense. If you had asked NFL media types if they would be surprised if Allen had his worst game to date in yesterday’s matchup, they invariably would have said “ not at all”. His track record vs young QBs is great. Allen absolutely needs to cut way down on the unforced errors. Throw it away, and live to fight another down.

A cheap hit doesn’t mean you don’t fight for a key first down. I hear you but his health as the franchise QB is more important than diving head first for a first down. His coach would say the same thing. Its symptomatic of his moment to moment thinking which can be brilliant but can also be haphazard. Easy to say after the event but weren't you concerned he would get injured at some point? He was getting hit alot and put himself in harm's way too much. I understand the game is about 'toughness' but if you keep running head first as a QB your going to get your head smashed sooner or later.
