Accuracy will be his downfall. I think the absolute best Bills fans can hope for is Cam Newton, who I compare his tools to, and who I think his ceiling is. But odds of him reaching it are slim imo...

His accuracy issues are not in the same vein as Russell though. He's usually inaccurate vertically rather than horizontally which means with dedication and hard work he can improve on it if he addresses it early (as in this offseason) otherwise what you say about accuracy holds true. I agree with the Newton comparison though as it stands right now Allen looks to run first whereas Newton has matured enough to try and get the ball out of his hands first.

One thing i've noticed is this, Allen is a hard worker. If you compare his play before his injury and when he's come back you'll see that he's improved quite a bit. In a perfect world Allen is the type of guy who should've sat out his first year and soak in the experience and learn under a veteran QB. He's already very good at reading keys for his option runs so fundamentally he's shown he can handle defenses.

We'll see how it goes but Allen IMO will at the very least be an upper middle tier QB.

I’m not worried about Allen. He’s inconsistent yes but I’ve seen him make enough elite level throws and know his work ethic to believe he’ll be just fine. Get more snaps under his belt get some talent around him and he’s going to be a good player. At this point he just needs to play and continue to work hard.

The Jets are really out here letting Josh Allen break Mike Vick records.

How is that Bobby Wagner FG block not a penalty? Hands on two players
shoulders. LOL. The horrible year for officiating continues.

Even worse, they threw the flag and decided to pick it up.

The poor and subjective officiating is frequent enough to make some degree of "fixing" seem plausible.

I don't understand it either. Jones should be getting no less than 20 touches a game.
