Josh was the most incredible QB to watch in college. For Wyoming fans at war memorial I don’t know if we will ever feel like that about a player again. Talking about him literally brings my grandparents to tears. It was so incredible to be a part of that group that rallied behind him. We all just felt so lucky because we know players like him don’t come around ever for Wyoming.

I went camping with Josh Allen as a kid, met his whole family. He told my dad on that camping trip “one day I’ll play in the Super Bowl”. He may just do it!!

Hes a really easy guy to cheer for. This is the kind of guy I cant help but wish great success for year after year.

Josh grew up in Firebaugh, California. Firebaugh is 47 miles and almost a straight shot to Fresno State. Josh wanted to play for Fresno State and they would not even consider him. Quite a few coaches got fired over that.

shit kind of blows my mind sometimes how fkn great josh allen can be. just goes to show you that hard work and dedication are the biggest indicators of greatness, not raw talent. i hope the bills make the playoffs again and make another run for the lombardi.

Just shows how wrong scouts can be… Brock Purdy too is a great example of a recent Qb that scouts dismissed

I went camping with Josh Allen as a kid and met his whole family. He told my dad on that camping trip “One day I’ll play in the Super Bowl”. He may just do it!! 6 months ago Josh was the most incredible QB to watch in college. For Wyoming fans at War Memorial, I don’t know if we will ever feel like that about a player again. Talking about him literally brings my grandparents to tears. It was so incredible to be a part of that group that rallied behind him. We all just felt so lucky because we know players like him don’t come around ever for Wyoming. He's a really easy guy to cheer for. This is the kind of guy I can't help but wish great success for year after year. Josh was a tremendous talent. He could bull his way through a defensive line like a star high school QB should. It's just that the NFL QB does that regularly unless he wants an early medical retirement. He could also throw the football into the next zip code. It's just it wasn't the zip code with the receiver in it. Josh's great strength is that he takes coaching well. A lot of new QBs think the entire NFL reality will warp itself around their talent. Example: Johnny Football. Josh didn't do that. Instead, he grew up and grew more accurate and more discerning. It's not all wine and roses. Under pressure he still makes some rookie mistakes trying to make things happen when the Bills get stymied. Hence his appalling interception record. But he's slowly growing out of that. This goes to show you the rating coming out of HS doesn't mean that much. Imagine if the Bills had drafted Josh Rosen instead of him... I watched him play here in Reedley. I never realized he would make the pros. GREAT THUMBNAIL! Thinking of making my own YouTube video on Josh Allen. I've started my own channel and loved how he self-advocated for himself. Would you mind if I used some of your videos mostly highlights? Derek Carr and Josh Allen are Central Cali legends. Work with people who played ball with and against Josh Allen. They say he has always been a good guy. Helping old high school teammates load up his truck's bed to just get them to practice and home. Never heard anything negative about him. Heck yes. Josh Allen is proving all the haters wrong with his zero Super Bowl rings.
Talented just needs to have a good coach/system around him. Otherwise, he tries to carry the team behind his back I watched the Bills lose 4 Super Bowls in a row. I hope they can win just one, but I won’t hold my breath and I don’t get my hopes up like in those days. Stats are for losers. Championships are for winners. You wonder about scouts. They whiffed on Aaron Rodgers early on also. It doesn’t matter, he was the 7th overall pick and was projected to go 1st the second the 2017 draft was over. Any QB that was given a projection like that is fully expected to be great. Didn’t matter Carson Wentz was a D2 QB, he was taken 2nd overall and that means you are 1000% expected to be the franchise QB.
As a Fins fan.. it goes against everything I stand for when I say that I hope he gets a ring one day. hopefully not with the Bills...22 Jan 2024. It didn't happen for him today. Chiefs did it to the Bills again. Maybe next year. Buffalo Bills Full 2023 Regular Season Mini Movie Recap | Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs, & More Buffalo Bills Thank God he didn’t go to Cleveland The Halftime Show 2 replies Im not a Bills fan but I cheer for them when they play because of Josh. o yea...scouts know shit. lol Please. He’s a sandlot player in a fixed league The new INT king Eastern Michigan withdrew their offer after he visited Wyoming? Are they friggin serious? Who the hell do they think they are? I guess we know why they're one worst programs in d1 history. I did not know he was a ZERO star recruit. Maybe because he has ZERO High School State Championships, ZERO College National Championships, and ZERO NFL Championships. Someone got it right. He can throw the ball with the best of them. He can turn over the ball with the best of them but he does not and never will have the "IT" factor needed to be a CHAMPION. We’ll find out tomorrow. Way too many mistakes "Superstar"? He hasn't won a Super Bowl or even been to a Super Bowl! I'm sorry to say... If you want a Superbowl championship the Bills need to move to another city. Buffalo is cursed. Believe it! Buffalonians deserve a championship whether it be Football or Hockey. It just ain't gonna happen. It's my hometown. No, don't live there anymore. Elfin's taxes and bad weather were too much.
Superstar that has not won a Superbowl. I guess everybody gets a trophy! He’s good, but what has he won?

It’s crazy that Josh allen literally gave me his game worn hat against the chiefs, it’s on my recent video too

[WNYXeb]

Love my Quarterback!
Stay happy n healthy kid and take no prisoners.

[johnloving]

Thanks - great story, great player. Note: Tim Couch's career was cut short by shoulder injuries - an injustice to compare him to Johnny Football, who did nothing as a pro.

[GöstaHöstasson]

Would love to watch Bills and Allen live some day. International games would be my chance..one day!

[tray]

Hilarious comment section with seething kids and fans of other AFC East teams calling him talentless. So far this season he has broken 3 records, he does this every year. Guy is amazing. Hope he can bring the Bills a ring one day. Go Saints

[lottoguy]

4 years as a starter in d1 is big experience.

[jefferyfortais]

Nice job some great video clips! GO BILLS!

[iaretyler]

@9:49 is randomly a clip of Philip Rivers throwing an incomplete pass to Michael Pittman Jr? Lol
