Our boy is growing into a man!

 

Just for 💩's and 😂 I clicked on YouTube to watch some of his Wyoming highlights yesterday.

 

Now I know these clips are always generated with positive plays only but I gotta tell you. After watching this clip (Just Bombs) I had to ask myself why wasn't this kid higher on other teams radar? All the physical traits we are enjoying now we're more than evident during his college career.

Just thanking the football gods he was!

Because everyone wants as close to a guaranteed bet as possible.

Wait.  That's WYO!  Like the actual Wyo.  Robyn.

Tap the WEEI link halfway down the article for the Pats* fan’s reaction to the game, Allen, ‘NoodleArm’ & Belichek.

Pure GOLD!

I watched three games , which isn't a lot but thats all i could get to , and he had one great game, one solid game and then one bad game and so i wasnt sold on him because he was inconsistent, even in the good games. So i thought hes ok in Podunk college ball but the chances of him excelling in the NFL were slim. Then i saw him play in an all star game and he was totally clutch when he needed to be and with his insane physical talent i thought maybe he could , but i still didn't want him. At that time i was all about Baker Mayfield, thankfully McBeane made the right choice.

 

I am curious if he was ranked number one on the Bills board or were Mayfield and Darnold ranked higher?

Nice read … there was something different about Josh this past Sunday.  He seemed to be in a calmer place as did the Bills.

Million dollar question I doubt we’ll ever know. Terry & Kim went to Wyoming with Brandon & Co. before the Draft, so he was certainly high on their board.

Like Trevor Lawrence 😂 Yeah, I know, the Jags are awful, and Meyer was a joke. I’m just making the point that I’m not certain sure things exist, but NFL teams keep fooling themselves into believing so. Allen had all the physical tools, but I didn’t believe either. It’s hard to overcome the small school bias. There’s no telling how good someone is when they don’t face high end competition. It is unfair to guys like Allen though.

You mean like Tua and Mac Jones?😏

It seemed from the “experts” that the Bills targeted Josh.  Kind of crazy how fortunate we have been. Just read about a DB on the Browns, who was out injured, tweeting during the game “Run the damn ball” after Baker’s 2nd int

never would happen with Josh and his teammates because a) he can throw the ball; and more importantly b) they respect Josh

Because you can’t coach accuracy….supposedly

WYO was a frequent poster (and mod) on the BBMB - and she was very good at both, BTW. Maybe a year or two before they shut it down, she stopped going there, due to the increased incivility that was pervading the boards. I can't blame her. Glad to see she's still writing about the Bills, though.

Either that or they're too impatient to take on a "project." I think Beane and McD planned for a somewhat long development period before he'd be a solid starter, based on their whole "long-term sustainability" philosophy.

 

I'm guessing most people, including people who believed in him, were surprised at how quickly he progressed.

One thing that some may know and some may not is when Seattle was negotiating a contract extension with Russell Wilson…

 They called Cleveland to see if they would be interested in trading the number 1 pick in the 2018 draft for Russell but Cleveland had their mind made up and decided to keep the pick so they turned them down…

 John Schneider and Pete Carroll had come to the consensus that they had their eye on a guy who could replace a guy who had already gone to to two Super Bowls that guy was Josh Allen 

 So Josh was known by a few but luckily enough he was looked at negatively enough for the Bills to swoop in and nab him and the rest is history.

WYO from BBMB?

Yeah, Robyn is the best. She tweets pretty frequently too, she’s a great follow.
