From nobody to the top of the first round of the draft - Josh Allen

SD_Tom

Here are some stats to think about when mesmerized by his big arm- Josh Allen had only FOUR games with 2+ TD passes in 2017. The opponents? The combined 9-37 forces of Texas State, New Mexico, Central Michigan and Gardner-Webb (whatever that is). Outside of Central Michigan, the other three schools COMBINED have four players active in the NFL today. CMU has a good player once in a while - they have 8 in the NFL, including Antonio Brown.

So, if we were to remove those four games against abysmal talent, his stats against non-miserable competition would be:

89/167 (53.3%) for 877 yards and 4 TD with 6 picks. In seven games. With the most passing yards at 208 in ANY game. 125 yards a game passing against quality competition.

Since we have been giving PoG a hard time for going on and on, should we here with CaC.

PS- I like Allen, he would be my 2nd choice if I were choosing, and I certainly like him more at 1 than Superman.

Josh Allen is Brandon Wee-done 2.0, minus the Golden Buckeye card. A cannon for an arm that throws to everyone but his own receivers.

If you think this is delusional, try that "other" board.

EDIT: And is there any truth to the rumor that Wyoming really is the mythical "deep state"?🥷

"Since Josh Allen has already proven to scouts that he can read defenses, call plays and perform three, five and seven-step drops, he is leagues ahead of his peers, and is ultimately a much safer bet to have a successful pro career. "

His throws are effortless.

Like throwing darts. He has great mobility but needs to work on footwork.

Browns fans have seen this movie a few times and it sucks.

Have no fear, those with frail heart, (and TexVag with frail mind), Allen has the highest upside.

So he has stuff to work on - so does every one of the qb's in this draft. He doesn't throw like Kizer or wheedumb.

He throws like nobody else - and he IS a ***Football*** player. I assume, and have read by experts in listening to experts, lol,

that footwork is far easier to coach/fix than delivery. And even TexAggrated knows that you can't fix stupid, he suffers from it.

Coaches like Norv Turner know better than any of us - and here is what he said about fixing a qb's accuracy:

http://www.sportingnews.com/ca/nfl/news/norv-turner-carolina-panthers-offense-cam-newton-accuracy/h8e2suhs97i19wf0pmrb7ebi

Published on Jan. 23, 2018

And help for the quarterback is exactly what Carolina needs. One of Newton’s biggest knocks against him has been his accuracy issues, which Turner says can be fixed more ways than one.

"I think there’s some technical things in the drop, in the vision, where you’re looking, when you’re looking that we can help and get the ball out quicker," Turner said. "We can help with his accuracy and then continue to find the things he does best and let him do those."

Hey, it's good to read - you learn stuff. Well, except for TexAgg - he has serious trouble with that.

Oh, and just for Tour:

about this article - note the date, your heinous.

When the Panthers hired Norv Turner as their new offensive coordinator, they did so with the idea that he could inject some life into Cam Newton’s career and Carolina’s offense.

While there are plenty of improvements to make to a unit that has lacked consistency over recent seasons, Turner, in an interview for the team’s official website, said there’s a lot that can be built upon."To be successful in this league, I think it’s proven that you have to be able to run the ball," Turner said Monday. “Whether it's a power run or a finesse run, you need to be able to run the football.

"If you can do that, it makes life a lot easier on the quarterback; it helps your defense, it helps your team."

And help for the quarterback is exactly what Carolina needs. One of Newton’s biggest knocks against him has been his accuracy issues, which Turner says can be fixed more ways than one.

"I think there’s some technical things in the drop, in the vision, where you’re looking, when you’re looking that we can help and get the ball out quicker," Turner said. "We can help with his accuracy and then continue to find the things he does best and let him do those."

Getting the ball out quicker is one way the Panthers have tried to help their quarterback, and it was one of the principals that led to the team drafting running back Christian McCaffrey in the first round of last years' draft.

McCaffrey and a reliable target like Greg Olsen are keys to what Turner wants to do and will help with the transition to the new offense.

"He had an unbelievable rookie year and did a lot more than a lot of people would be asked to do and handled them all," Turner said of McCaffrey. "He lined up everywhere you could line up, which is hard for a rookie.

"He’s got such talent, you’re just going to keep finding ways to get him the ball and try to create more space for him."

Turner also mentioned receivers Devin Funchess and Curtis Samuel as players who already have a solid base of talent to improve upon, and they will have opportunities to fill vital roles in the offense. The key for them will be utilizing their speed and getting the ball into their hands.

Although the broad offensive philosophy won't be drastically changing, the new ideas coming in with Turner could be just what Carolina’s offense needs to push it over the top and provide some much-needed consistency.

Jblewrosen and TexAggravated can't keep their forums straight. Limited vision and short term memory problems?

I'd give up a 2nd, a 3rd, and a first round pick next year if you'd come and replace jblew. He doesn't know anything about anything.

Thanks Cal for you post. I really appreciate your highlighting (in Bold Red) the updated stats above. As you know, I've been pushing for either Allen or Darnold as my favorites (but Allen first). I also see you posted they were roommates above, nice. I'll be a Browns fan regardless of whether they pick one of these QBs at 1, but it would make my day if they do. Let Taylor start the first 2 years so they can learn, then bring that QB in. **Something Kizer never got** * (Sorry Dawg fans, just what I believe).

Exactly right.

Taylor is the guy playing this season unless he is lying in the hospital. The 1 or 4 pick will see limited regular season action and not be thrown to the wolves in his first NFL season. Barkley is there at 1 and Allen will be there at 4. You can win now and prepare for the future when Allen is ready.

Things are great over in the Allen camp.

How is it over at the Rosen camp? Did he get his gold jacket yet?
