Awwufelloff Posted July 9, 2022 Posted July 9, 2022 He is but I want a lot less running this year than the last few. The NFL takes no prisoners, one hit and his career could be over. Stay in the pocket and use your best asset, longevity is everything. 1 1 Quote
The Wiz Posted July 9, 2022 Posted July 9, 2022 Whether he is or isn't, I'm sure we can all agree it's great that the question is even being asked about our QB. 3 Quote

You were REALLY upset about that pick. I think we are all surprised.........not even the biggest Josh Allen fan saw him turning into a GREAT running QB in addition to his arm talent...........but the people who hated the choice to select Allen gotta' be questioning their reality. So let’s bring something up from 4 years ago even tho I’ve admitted multiple times how much crow I’ve ate and it tastes so good? Ive never been so happy to be wrong. Quote

ColoradoBills Posted July 9, 2022 Posted July 9, 2022 (edited) I never like threads that resemble "my father can beat up your father" discussions but it's like this for me. 1. Josh Allen is the best QB the Buffalo Bills have ever had. 2. If I was starting a team TODAY and had the pick of any QB in the league I would go with Josh and not look back. 3. No one knows what JA's ceiling is yet. 4. I can't predict what JA can and will accomplish in the rest of his career, but I love that I'm along for the ride. I still am amazed that we have Josh Allen as our Bills QB. As for the topic of "best", "greatest", "most talented" or any other term, I'll just wait until his career is over before I judge his status among the other QBs.

I did say that but didn’t want to bring it up cuz I own not wanting him predraft. My take was awful on him and I couldn’t be more happier to be wrong lol. Hes my favorite Bill of all time just after 4 years. Hard not to love the kid. Quote

I didn't want him either and made that known at the time. But like you I was also willing to give him a chance. I don't think there's anything wrong in saying you were wrong. It's those who definitively said he would be a bust and those who left as a result... 1 1 Quote

Yes they should limit the designed runs, but the best thing is Josh has become one of the faces of the NFL and you can best believe that he won't be getting cheap spotted by other players either, Allen has earned alot of respect amongst players across the league so that helps. I trust his instincts when to move the pocket or just to take off. 2 Quote
Andy1 Posted July 10, 2022 Posted July 10, 2022 I’m proud to say I was on the Allen train since the beginning. Outside of my family, watching Josh play gives me the most joy. I’m just glad I’m able to watch, and someday, when I’m old remember his performances on the field. What a joy. 1 Quote

Maybe in the regular season, but in the playoffs you do whatever it takes. We saw this last year and I’d expect no different going forward. Winning the SuperBowl is everything. 1 Quote
Rigby Posted July 10, 2022 Posted July 10, 2022 I will hold my hand up and say I was not 100 percent on board the Allen train when we picked him. Boy, how happy I am now to eat crow. He just makes the game look so easy and he seems like a great person off the field also. Very proud for a lot of reasons that he is a Bill. Quote

Every time someone posts one of these threads I check to see what I said and find nothing. All I know is that I was NOT on the Allen train. Maybe I took a break from the board for a while after the draft, Idk. Quote

Considering our franchises past with developing QBs, i preferred to take the qb I thought was more Nfl ready as opposed to a project. I quickly came around to the thought of having the best arm I had ever seen be our next hope for success. McB + Josh’s hard work have changed our lives as Bills fans. Quote
finn Posted July 10, 2022 Posted July 10, 2022 I think it's clear he's the most physically talented quarterback in league history. But he also has a powerful desire to improve and intense competitiveness. He deserves to be in the conversation with athletes like Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan, who were both super-talented AND worked harder than anyone else. Quote
Big Turk Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 Media members are starting to get in on the hype... A TB reporter? lists Allen second only to Aaron Donald on his Top 100 players list. https://mobile.twitter.com/StevenCheah/status/1546129313396924417 Quote

C.Biscuit97 Posted July 11, 2022 Posted July 11, 2022 If he has one more good season, I may be ready to officially declare Allen as being the right choice over Rosen. A lot of insecure people won’t admit to be being wrong but I am that secure. Still needs one more year to prove it though. 😉 3 Quote
