Bakin Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 I am a homer. And I really love the kid. So I’m an emphatic YES. I have no doubt that he is crushed right now - and he believes the loss is on him. Sure, he makes boneheaded plays now and again... BUT He has the arm, the legs, the heart...between the ears remains a work in progress and I’m confident he will only get better. Thoughts? 1
SoCal Deek Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 Josh Allen is not a franchise QB, at least not now anyway. He may be a nice kid, but come on! 4 1 2 2 1
Beast Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 Can he grow a brain this off-season? He certainly has the physical talent. 2 1 1
EmotionallyUnstable Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 That lateral with 1:04 left in regulation lol ? 1 1 1
Southern Bills Fan Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 Y’all are way overreacting. Let him learn how to win. Let the whole team and the coaching staff learn to win. 5
Warren Zevon Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) Need to plan for the future like he isn't but hope like hell that he is. It's tough to pick a franchise QB - almost 50% in the 1st round. Beane and McDermott have this team on the right track regardless of Josh IMO Edited January 5, 2020 by Gary Busey
Reader Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 Are you basing this on his play today in his first playoff spot ever or on the trajectory and improvement he has shown since entering the league. You've given us a binary question for something that does not deserve a binary answer. If he plateaus, no. If he continues to improve, yes. 2
Franco_92 Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 Obviously not yet. I'm pretty certain I'll know this time next year whether or not I want him around the following one. 1
Nuncha Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 Why is this even a question? If you can't see his ability, and the fire he plays with then you are blind. 4 1
wvbillsfan Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 If he improves in his third year as much as he did his second year there is no question. As it stands now another playmaker or two and he can be good without improvement. Imagine if he improves and gets a weapon or two 6
TwistofFate Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 His first half performance nearly had me convinced, but, sadly, he went back to being Josh Allen. Inconsistent, terrible ball security, and flat out bone headed plays. The loss isnt solely on him, plenty of blame to go around. Duke Williams underwhelming performance, critical mistakes by the oline in key moments, errors by Brown, and questionable play calling in OT. Sadly, Allen is what I hoped he wouldn't be, a Fitzpatrick. 1 1
tcampbell104 Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 jesus give the guy a break he is still improving. i think or hope next year is his year 2

Or if he had a guy like hopkins he could just throw it to fully covered? 1
Buffalo Boy Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 He’s a second year kid who still has a lot of learning to do. He is also, hands down, the best QB talent we have had since Kelly. He will be our starter for the next 10 -15 years and he will win us multiple playoff games. Hopefully there is a SB win in there somewhere. 4 1
loveorhatembillsfan4life Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 A better poll would be: Who will be with the Buffalo Bills longer? Josh Allen or Some posters on here if Josh is. 5 1
Nextmanup Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 6 minutes ago, EmotionallyUnstable said: That lateral with 1:04 left in regulation lol ? I find it hilarious that no one has created a thread about that single play. Or perhaps his "Hail Mary" pass he threw up for grabs while in OT in a playoff game. That is "can't happen" stuff and it's still happening from him. And then the late throws, the fumble problems, the blitz problem, the reading defenses problem, the accuracy problem, the long ball problem.... How long does he get?! 3 1
No_Matter_What Posted January 5, 2020 Posted January 5, 2020 I hope he is, and believe in him, but nobody knows obviously. However, it is actually completely irelevant what anybody, including our front office, thinks right now. They took him at 7 just two years ago as a project QB. Unless there is 100% certainty he is a bust NOBODY SANE gives up on him after two years. And in my mind nobody sane can be sure he is a bust. So he is our only option at least for another complete season. Which, again, is fine with me, since I love him and expect him to be franchise for next 15 years. 1
