Josh Allen - Potato Bowl game
-
Didn't disappoint. His teammates love him, the coaches love him, the fans love him, the media loves him...all the other folks associated with the team love him - and about last week, he had hurt his arm, said he could not play if the game was then, but trusted the process... he was good enough to play - he said he owed it to his teammates and his coaches, who were the only ones that gave him a scholarship - this kid is my pick for qb in this entire draft.
I mentioned I thought of John Elway when I watched him play. I suppose Elway thinks the same thing:
he can make throws not that many qb's in the NFL can make. Dynamic arm. And yes, once, he was running for a first down, and stumbled, falling flat on his face. He was laughing about in on the sideline. How embarrassing. But this kid - he said he owed it to his coaches to at least give them one more game.
He ended the game with only 19 passes - they had to be protecting his arm - but he was 11/19, 154 yards, 3 TDs, no ints. And that is with his arm not being 100 percent. It's easy to not throw much when it was 21-7 ? in the first quarter, and the Wyoming defense was playing lights with 8 turnovers.

the healing, recuperating from an injury...process.

It was Central Michigan, not OSU or OU.

Made some good throws. That early skinny he tossed was a rocket and right on the money. Made me want to go back and take a look at why he was having accuracy issues. His anticipation still worries me at times.

I'll watch more Saturday. Only got through 10 minutes of the game. Cal, that was Allen's NFL audition. Pregame even watched the puff stuff. OK, he has an NFL arm. Can throw 80 yards in the air. Duante Culpepper could do 90.Means he'll need about 5 seconds for Gordon to get that deep.
I need to see more than (at least so far) 100 mph rockets to his primary target. Hello, there's that thing called progressions.

He’s someone that needs a lot of time and coaching
We have neither

Whoever Cleveland drafts should sit out 1 year behind a Vet.
Allen is a lot closer to being ready than you think.
what if we cant sign a Vet and the Vet he sits behind is named Kizer?
-
What makes you think Kizer won't be much better next year. He has improved this year much as the games progressed. But with a full season behind him, you might be surprised. Also, just remember, he didn't have a Vet to teach him anything coming into this season.
-
So many of you just don't seem to get it that throwing a rookie into the fire with NFL players coming after them, they usually get destroyed. I would allow Kizer next season to see if he improves before throwing another QB in start. But i would agree, whoever we draft shouldn't start. We might have to pick up Alex Smith or AJ McCarren in FA and let whoever we draft sit on the bench along with Kizer.

Just watch.
When the combine rolls around and private work outs Allens stock is going to soar. This guy is going to be a stud with some talent around him and NFL coaching.
He will be able to work out without the pressure of a collapsing pocket, which is when he is at his worst. Pass on this guy.
-
but he will be able to work with real NFL type wr's. draft him. or, Drew Lock of Missouri. He's also terrific.

Because Kizer is exactly as advertised....He came out of college as a physically gifted QB with serious accuracy issues who consistently made bad decisions.
What have you seen from him this year that makes you think any of that is going to change next year?

Broncos have 9th pick- exactly where Allen will go (MHO). Ha, if Sashi was still around we'd swap Denver our 4th for their 9th and their first round in 2019.
Detailed report coming later tonight Cal. That was the best I've seen out of him, but I still have Wyoming Josh #4 on my qb pecking order.
& really no screwing around in April. Take the QB you think is best with the #1 overall, and don't go hoping somebody you like is going to fall into your lap with the Houston pick.

He had some struggles this year against some quality opponents he needed to play well against so I had my doubts too T. That said, he had a really good game yesterday. That first TD pass was an accurate rope! I like his accuracy throwing on the run too.
The questions I've heard was why the regression this year which Todd McShay explained pretty well that a program like Wyoming doesn't re-stock their lost talent (play makers in particular) like big time major programs consistently do. Sounded sensible.

Who ever we get just don't let Hue get his hands on him

Progression. He certainly hasn't won any games, but what makes you think Goff would've won any games in our situation in his rookie year especially with our offense? He was on a much better team last season with much better players, and still only won 4 games. Look at the whole picture guys.

He’s someone that needs a lot of time and coaching
We have neither

That's what they said about Carson Wentz, and Ben Roethlesbooger in 2004

Kizer will be out of the league next year selling cars.

I can buy that, he led the league in INT's. Sure.
