Bing Bong Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 He's Cam or even Brett Favre maybe. But the Cam comparison is obvious. Tough sell on this board cause people don't like Cam for some reason. Funnily enough Panthers fans think of Cam just as highly as we do of our Josh. Anyways even if Josh Allen is superior to Cam in every way that's still what a player comp is. Think of Cam as proto-Josh if it makes you feel better about it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mango Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 45 minutes ago, Sammy Watkins' Rib said: The first 50 minutes of this game felt like the coaching staff told Josh "Whatever you do. Do not feel like you have to make every play today. Just get rid of the ball." If this were a playoff game Josh probably would have had 50 yards rushing by halftime. I think it is becoming clear Josh needs to run like a MOFO in these bad weather home games. If he doesn't do it in the regular season that is one thing but when the stakes are the highest let it him run. I agree with this but there is some nuance. Josh needs to sometimes run like a MOFO, because sometimes he has games or stretches of games where he isn’t a good passer. Getting Josh moving is a stop gap. The fix is actually having the valleys be less often and/or less deep. If he can become a bit more efficient/consistent, the sky is the limit for him and this team.

Steve was shorter 6'-1/2"and lighter 205 than Josh, but had more footspeed (4.55 which is serious quicks for a QB of his era). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southern_Bills Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 It was a good comp when he was coming out of college, at this point he has surpassed Cam in ability at the position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SectionC3 Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 55 minutes ago, Sammy Watkins' Rib said: I always struggle with the right comparison for Allen. Similarities to many. Allen has more big play running ability then Newton had. In Allen's four years he has two years of 7.1 ypc (rookie year) and 6.3 ypc. Cam has never been over 5.8ypc in a season. Steve Young had a bunch of seasons over 6.0 ypc but at about half the number of attempts that Cam and Allen typically get in a season. But Young did have big play ability running the ball like Allen. The arm angle reminds me of Rogers. The size … Big Ben. The running ability reminds me of young just because of the explosion. Much mor young than Newton to me. And the pocket escapability is Russell Wilson. 1 hour ago, Brennan Huff said: A lot of his incompletions were drops. And throwing into that wind was a big factor. This is why Kelly never put up huge numbers. The wind in Buffalo is no joke. Allen is an elite QB and there’s nothing anybody can say to make me think otherwise The wind was huge. 34 points in one end of the stadium. 3 in the other. Says it all.

Sure, he's had a couple down games passing. That sucks. But when he gets a full head of steam and uses his legs, he is the second best mobile QB threat in the game. Today and against Atlanta the passing game was kinda crappy. But Josh has the unique ability (outside of Lamar) to become a one man offense and will drives to continue. Make no mistake, Josh decided to end this game today. Let's get back on track passing the football next week and keep some of those scrambles or sweeps in our back pocket for when we need them. Hyde said wind gusts were insane...so he did just fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
y2zipper Posted January 10, 2022 Share Posted January 10, 2022 Allen is way too good of a passer to be compared to Favre or Newton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
