No need for the hostility, bro, I've never disliked Josh Allen or anything. I was neutral on him two years ago, recognized his improvement last season and am acknowledging his progression each season is undeniable at this point. I'm old (not really, but kinda) and still believe developing a young quarterback is better for most younger players than throwing them to the wolves. Sometimes starting too early hurts young quarterbacks and my general outlook on Allen in 2018 was he was a talented guy not likely to get the full chance he would need, because he was starting too early. We all know how fickle fans are today and how much pressure there is for some rookies to have an immediate and winning impact. I think a lot of potential is being lost because of this mentality. Maybe I'm just too sympathetic.
This kind of makes the point, though. Even with loaded offenses and Reid's offensive mind, Smith (I like Alex Smith) couldn't quite get the Chiefs all the way. Not only did Mahomes do that (very quickly), the difference between Smith's Chiefs and Mahomes's Chiefs offensively has been massive. We also watch this kid weekly make throws only Aaron and Russell can make.
This just sounds like ahistorical hate.
I dislike Tom Brady as much as anybody outside Massachusetts, but come on. I've never liked the "It's ALL the head coach/coordinator" or the "It's ALL the quarterback" positions people take, especially when that position is switched up based on like and dislike. I could just as easily attribute the entirety of Josh Allen's success to Brian Daboll. It doesn't have to be either-or, it can be both.
