I quite often keep the third down throw from the end zone to Cole Beasley v Dallas on Thanksgiving for a night the missus goes to bed early.

That TD pass to Shakir was incredible. Not sure I've seen anyone get that kind of zip on the ball with the kind of quick throwing motion and angle he threw it with.

I jumped out of my chair screaming and almost lost consciousness. Thank you Makers Mark and lack of sleep.

Me neither, but considering how rich he is, I might make an exception.

I had somebody in another thread tell me that other QB's (i.e. Kenny Pickett) make throws like that all the time.

In their dreams. Some people do gave difficulty with separating reality and their imaginations.  I can imagine many wonderful scenarios that are not likely to be seen in reality.  I can still be entertained by my imagination and the wild wacky I never would expect that plays that do occur from time to time are sufficient for my imaginings to be quite acceptable as likely to not occur.

That throw would be all over sports tv had Mahomes thrown it.

Mahomes can't make that throw, but there are throws he can make that Allen can't. Their arm talent is different from one another. With Allen it's the release and the velocity. With Mahomes it's the precise ball placement from crazy arm angles. They're both doing things I have never seen before.

Mahomes makes similar throws all of the time.  Maybe not with as much snap/downward trajectory but that throw reminded me of vintage Mahomes.

Yea he'd have made the same play but in a slightly different way, he'd have manouvered an arm angle and slung it. Josh got it there with pure velocity. 

[Gugny]

Is it just me (likely), or is Josh throwing sidearm a lot so far?

[Lazy]

Another great thing about that pass is when Crosby and Spillane are closing in on him, Morse(I think), drops off his block, turns and switches his attention to the 2 of them. Very nice awareness.

His release is rarely off my mind. He could do with a haircut though. The Hollywood hobo look doesn't work for him.

He does make some throws sometimes that just leave you speechless. The one to Diggs at the end of the Lions game last year and the TD pass to Kumerow in Denver a couple of years ago are two that immediately spring to mind. Incredible power mixed with a perectly finessed release. Guy is a rare talent.

Expand  

One of the days I was at training camp this year there was a throw he made to the sideline - a rocket - and I involuntarily exclaimed to no one "Oh My God".  It was unlike anything I had ever seen in real life

It's like every throw was a money shot...

Get your minds out of the gutter, creepers ; - )

 

During the first half of the Jest game, even when he wasn't playing particularly well, I remember remarking to myself that his release looked markedly improved from last year. Then during the Raiders game he cut loose several throws that actually had me goggling.

I don't know what he was doing or who he was working with in the offseason, or whether the speculation about his elbow was legitimate all last year, but I think he clearly worked on something that is showing up in his game now.

He is snapping it off like nobody else in the world right now. And maybe I'm just being a fanboy but I think I'm about two weeks from saying that Josh Allen now has the most wicked release of any QB that's ever played in the NFL.

 

 

Expand  

Josh's injury impacted his short game because it effected his quick release

 

Go back to his breakout 3-year and he was ripping up the short game with a lightning release

 

It's also a part of why Josh was maybe looking down field more last year because it didn't hurt as much to push it downfield.. it was the quick release throws that got effected 

 

The dart throws

It seemed to me he was using his hips and shoulders more.  But I agree, and hope, with the UCL issues he has worked with somone to be able to throw without putting the UCL under as much stress.

 

Come to think of it Brock Purdy looked better throwing when I watched him against the Steelers week 1.

 

I think you are on to something Simon.

And thanks to Andy Reid, the receiver would have been open with nobody around him for ten yards.

His field awareness was just as good but I agree that his arm looked better than it did last year.

Actually when I saw the play live I immediately thought that was a "Mahomes type throw".
