Who does Josh Allen remind you of...

[Jmac]

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.

They must all be fired.

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.

McD would’ve won us the SB in 2015

Y’all been real disrespectful to Cam lately and that poo needs to stop. 

[Mr. Scot]

I was gonna say Brett Favre, but to be fair, Newton reminds me of Brett Favre too.

I know I heard Romo compare him to Cam Newton at one point during the game.

not sure how comparing the 2 is disrespectful. josh allen was compared to cam coming out of college. he also looks pretty good right now.

We can build and move forward too. Clean house. Tepper didn't want to do that in the off-season when he should have.

careful or you’ll get your account deleted

He’s probably the most similar to Cam than any other player in the NFL, but to try and say he’s “more accurate” than Cam is completely false. Allen is pretty mobile and has a cannon but he wasn’t great all of last year and early this year. Starting to improved though.

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.
