Who does Josh Allen remind you of...


Jmac

Recommended Posts

A young Cam Newton. Big with a strong arm and a very strong runner. Watching what Beene and J.M have done building the Bill's compared to this organization is depressing.

Difference being that I doubt they let Allen take a beating like Cam has. I doubt they will put a bunch of JAGS and lackeys in front of him. They gave him a decent Oline.

They chose Allen knowing that with a decent Oline, he could be in the mold of a player like Newton. They are moving foward as we tread water and move backwards.

Josh Allen doesn't remind me of Cam. Josh Allen plays the position behind a good offensive line. He runs when he has too or when it's open and gets down to avoid hits. Cam wants to run over defenders and flaunt it in their faces behind a poor offensive line. Allen is also more accurate using better mechanics.

How do you figure Josh is more accurate? After 2 years in the league, Cams completion % was better?

He reminds me of Cam, but I don't get more accurate.  Even the announcers were commenting about some of his accuracy issues with short balls, the same problem Cam had earlier in his career.

edit: he isn't nearly as good a runner as Cam, at least it didn't seem so.  but he's still fun to watch in the same way Cam is since you always felt he could scramble and both extend plays and throw ropes far down field.

Completion percentage isn't a great stat to go by.

Your receiver makes a circus catch of a lousy pass, you get credit.

Your receiver drops a ball that hit them right in the numbers, you get the blame.

For the record, I still see Allen as "general vicinity" accurate, same as Favre.

    • Same-ish here, 12 team league with only 1 TE spot, but we have a WR/TE flex spot as well.  Most teams carry 2 TE's with a few who actually carry 3, so yea, not easy to get quality TE production in my league. The Vikings weird usage of Hockenson is killing me, he's gone multiple games where he doesn't have a catch through 3 quarters.  Then when they're playing from behind in the 4th, they'll just dink and dunk to him a bunch of times for chunks of yards and end up getting close to 10 points in the end.  Why not just use him all game if he's so effective in the 4th? Gonna plays Taylor though, I figure they won't put Horn on him until/unless he is making a bunch of plays, at which point I'll probably have my points out of him by then anyways.
    • Agree with your premise basically completely, though I might move some people around - especially the vets at the end... Goff and Mayfield look like centerpiece players now, and Darnold I'd say is around the top of the complimentary. Daniel Jones is still unknown.
    • If I had to parse it out, there's still a good to bad scale for both the centerpiece QB and complimentary types.  The idea isn't that they're all elite, but have the traits so that the teams are built for them, rather than them just being inserted in.  Some just don't lift the team enough, others do (Allen/Mahomes/etc.). But it can be a gradual process (not always instant) where maybe they started as complimentary early and grew into a stud the team eventually built around. Centerpiece: Josh Allen Patrick Mahomes Matthew Stafford Lamar Jackson Joe Burrow Justin Herbert Jayden Daniels Drake Maye Dak Prescott CJ Stroud Trevor Lawrence  Caleb Williams Jordan Love Kyler Murray (worst of this bunch) Complimentary Brock Purdy Jalen Hurts Dillon Gabriel Tua    Unsure So-far: Jaxon Dart Michael Penix JJ McCarthy Bo Nix Cam Ward Vet who was inserted and then sorta built-around: Jared Goff Baker Mayfield Sam Darnold Daniel Jones
