Tell that to Brett Farve

Are you suggesting Favre didn’t know how to play the game? That he was just a strong armed dummy? If so, I can’t agree with that at all. Players, especially QBs, don’t last that long and set records along the way if they aren’t smart enough about the game.

Farve knew the game, he just didn't care. Not supposed to throw it over the middle into triple coverage? He's throwing it anyway.

That’s because he had a cannon and was cocky about it. Josh has done it numerous times himself, including twice just this past Sunday. I cringe every time until the play is over. There are only a few guys who can do that successfully more often than not. It’s not advisable for good reason.

Check this out...

 

Here are a couple examples

 

"He scrambles. He's just the latest qb to scramble well. Granted he's no RG III kind of disaster waiting to happen, but he's no Russel Wilson or Aaron Rodgers either. I'm not sure he ever wins a ring."

 

"They haven't shown anything else than the fact that they are going to be an one and out playoff team. They don't have that killer instinct; they let us hang around all game long and never bothered to put us away with a kill shot."

 

page-53

Loll they never led in the game…do they now think their team is a layup that we should obliterate every time?

Hot take: their coach letting him throw only 3 times because it was windy outside may have undermined his confidence and the confidence his teammates had in him.  They’re 0-2 since.

 

Maybe. Or it could be that they played 2 of the top 3 teams in the AFC.

Been saying the same thing as well. The kid processes the game at a high level already. I’ll just put it this way, smarts will always get you thru times of no arm more than an arm will get you thru times of no smarts. 
 

The world is littered with strong armed QBs who didn’t know how to play the game.

I think that’s less and less frequent these days with defensive linemen being the absolute freak athletes they are.  You don’t see many classic pocket passers anymore.  Need someone mobile that can make all the throws on the run.

He didn't realize the kill shot was dropped by Sanders in the end zone. This game shouldn't have been close

But the league is ruled by players with both.

In reality they scored a TD in that sequence, they forced a 3 and out and then drove and scored on a short field, TD to Diggs.  It is interesting how close the game stayed even though the Bills kept driving and scoring.

Fanbases are nothing more than bias fanatics who wouldn’t know how to be objective if an object hit them squarely in the face.  I’m not sure why this was even posted here.  Certain fans think that certain hall of fame players were bums because they played well against a team they root for.  Excuses are made for players we like and we throw stones at players we hate.  
 

Until Josh Allen wins a few playoff games at least, there will be critics who continue to hound him about winning big games.  That’s the way it has always been.  Fan bases will be fan bases.  There’s no reason to it whatsoever just a bunch of blowhards.

That was the difference in this game because our defence did not do much but Allen and our offence just kept responding even after Pats would score.  Y

 

The defense held a team that recently had been putting up 50 burgers in their own house to 21 points. What do you want?

But it’s not ruled at all by just a strong arm. Gotta have the smarts first and foremost. 
 

But damn, it’s nice to have a QB that has both to make defenses defend the entire field.

How many is a few?  Dude won two last year alone.  He’s also won big regular-season games on the road in Dallas, Pittsburgh, Kansas City, and New England.

The only thing worse than a Pats fan trolling our board is a Pats fan trolling our board who pretends he is not.

His arm was weak when he started his career, if I remember correctly. It got stronger as he hit his prime. 


correct.  I remember not even taking him seriously even after the first Super Bowl win.  We would constantly throw up ducks into the secondary from 2001-2003. He really worked on his lower body motion for more power on his throws. Aside from that it’s very strange that he seemed to always get stronger the older he got.
