Alphadawg7 Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 I am surprised I had not heard about this from a few days ago and I don't see it on the main page, so not sure if its been shared here. To call him not only overrated, but one of the MORE overrated players in the NFL goes beyond stupid. https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2024/7/15/24199160/nfl-exec-considers-bills-qb-josh-allen-overrated-despite-espn-top-3-rank “One of the more overrated players in the NFL,” a veteran NFL executive said. “Immense talent but he makes a lot of mistakes. He’s underdeveloped at winning at the line of scrimmage, tends to lock on to targets, more of a thrower than precision passer, forces throws into traffic.” You want to have some critiques...fair, all players have things they can improve. But the overrated nonsense is comically stupid...which is why they were too much of a wuss to put their name on it. I love it though...just more fuel for the beast Josh Allen! Almost everyone in sports media came to his defense (except Nick Wright who I wont even bother to post here).

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Even if all those things are true, at the end of the day it is about results. Allen has proven both on the stat sheet and win/loss column that he is undoubtably a top 3 QB in the league. You don't play at a top 3 QB level for four straight seasons by accident. Underdeveloped at the line of scrimmage. Umm okay, we know he isn't Brady or Peyton at the line. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underdeveloped at the line of scrimmage. Umm okay, we know he isn't Brady or Peyton at the line. The LOS doesn't jive either...Allen I believe was the least sacked QB last year...not because we have the most dominant line in the NFL, but because Allen is elite at identifying where the pressure is coming from and escaping it and exploiting it. So he can't be that "underdeveloped at the line" lol. I think that is a lazy take because it is assumed due to the turnovers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 I don’t think he’s overrated, per se … but none of this (below) is incorrect. Josh Allen has been Josh Allen’s biggest enemy. I don’t think that can be denied. “Immense talent but he makes a lot of mistakes.

eball Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 It’s probably a guy who had Baker, Darnold, Rosen, and Jackson ranked higher in the 2018 draft and will die on that hill. The only QB in the NFL more GMs would take over Josh is Mahomes. That’s it. ”NFL Exec” could mean some dude who shines the GM’s shoes, for all we know. 2 minutes ago, Gugny said: I don’t think he’s overrated, per se … but none of this (below) is incorrect.

Everybody can get better. These comments are stupid. There are multiple film breakdowns of Allen manipulating defenses at the LOS. This guy sounds like someone who believes the QB position should be played only the way Brady played it. He probably loves Brock Purdy. 5 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSBill Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Not that he needs it, but it's good these people are coming to his defense. Nevertheless, win it all, and this will all go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably loves Brock Purdy. I am firmly in the “Josh Allen is a top 3 QB” camp. But I also believe that he could be closer to the best in the NFL if he could keep his head on for an entire season. I think he lacks maturity and mental strength. My only knocks on him since day one. That level of maturity and mental toughness is what separates Mahomes from Allen. Mahomes matured more quickly than Allen. Hence the rings. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he had lacked a HC that could keep his **** together for even 13 seconds. And hold a lead when Allen give him one the last time Allen was on the field. Allen is this Generations Elway/ Manning,but more talent and better stats. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason Mahomes has rings and Allen doesn't, is Andy Reid and Steve Spagnuolo. Meanwhile our defensive HC would give up 20 points to a peewee football team in the playoffs. 7 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
