Productive use of your time Just now, the skycap said: I'd like to see him move better in the pocket. Manipulate it so that he can have more time to throw the ball as opposed to taking off and running. Certainly if he can run to get a 1st down and keep the chains moving fine, but I'd like to see him get to the level of Rodgers, Mahomes, Watson manipulation of the pocket I believe that he will. I think his path to the NFL has left his QB skills undeveloped. It'll take time but he'll get there, he's highly coachable. 1

He needs to learn when to trust the line when they are actually giving him the extra time he needs. I think he will continue to improve in this area.
Jobot Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 Allen has got the tools. He has the ability to make every NFL throw as well as elite running ability. It takes repetition for the game to slow down and the offense to become second nature. New O-line New Recievers New TE New RBs 2nd YEAR QB! ...all things considered, there's no guarantee that Bellichick would have this team at 6-2 had he replaced McDermott! 2
dakrider Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 He's static and has hit a wall. He'll never be better than 52% completion rate, 56% completion rate, 61% completion rate. 15 2

Do you think hes going to get even better? Yes. I would imagine that the vast majority of NFL-caliber players in general and QBs specifically don't peak midway through year 2. If this is as good as he'll ever get, then the pick was a bust. But I don't see why so many people seem to think that a player with his age & experience wouldn't get better going forward.

CLTbills Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 I don't think anybody that has actually watched our games could possibly say no. But this is TBD, after all. 1 1
Captain Hindsight Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 70% completion on sunday. That number would have been impossible last year. Josh Allen is boring now. He just completes passes efficiently and accurately. Jump over a dude man! 16
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 (edited) Yes has improved alot. He has tremendous upside still and will likely continue to move towards that because of his makeup, barring serious injury of course. I want to know who the bums are that said no? I could probably guess. I mean there is still the 300 yard crew around, you know the ones who evaluate QB play based on total yards. There is actually a guy on Bills Wire who thought Sam Darnold had a better game than Josh on Sunday. LMFAO. One guy had a111.6 rating another 85.4, guess who? Nick Wojton-"It’s hard to say Allen had a bad game. He did what was asked. But his game still wasn’t good. A push seems right. Allen finished the game 14-for-20 passing for 160 yards and a touchdown. He also had eight carries for 12 yards and a rushing score. For comparison sake, the Jets lost to the Dolphins but quarterback Sam Darnold was still 27-for-39 passing for 260 yards with a touchdown and interception. OK, he didn’t win, but that stat line is much better." Edited November 6, 2019 by D. L. Hot-Flamethrower 3
Buffalophil1948 Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 Overall passing has improved greatly but seems to have lost the touch on the deep ball. Once he puts it all together, watch out.
BuffaninSarasota Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 Is this another bye week question .... errrr, poll ?

Buffalo Boy Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 Since the beginning of the season we have watched him grow. The short throw accuracy is improved through mechanics and not putting too much zip( thought he still has some work to do on the zip) The hero ball and decision making are where i see the most improvement. He’s throwing the ball away in situations that he would force last year and earlier this year. By my count it’s three games in a row where he hasn’t done something completely boneheaded . The O as a whole is still very much a work in progress.

Figster Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 Over 94% Now ask yourself, do you think Daboll might deserve a little credit? 2

Had a better 3rd down conversion rate, were better in the Red zone, better yards per completion, no picks, got sacked less... They ran it 39 times because they were winning basically the entire game. 1

RiotAct Posted November 6, 2019 Posted November 6, 2019 yes. He’s making better decisions with the football and is really good now with the short to intermediate stuff.
