Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has left something to be desired with his arm at times in 2019.
But the second-year pro has undoubtedly made strides in his sophomore season and has the Bills primed for a postseason berth this year.
Forecasting forward, Touchdown Wire sees a bright future for Allen and the Bills under center, as Buffalo’s situation was ranked the eighth-best in the NFL in terms of their future potential.
Here’s why:
Two of our panelists said Josh Allen is the most underrated of the new wave of quarterbacks. He’s efficient as a passer, dangerous as a runner and has the Bills in playoff contention. In just his second season, Allen, 23, has thrown for 2,175 yards and 13 touchdowns and rushed for 331 yards and seven touchdowns. Allen already is a solid quarterback. But all four of our panelists agreed he could become elite within a couple of years.
The big concern for Allen might be his longevity. He still has several years under his belt that he will have elite athletic ability. But how long can Allen last taking hits like the ones he has? The Patriots haven’t had Tom Brady for two decades because of his excellent ability to take hits. It’s his ability to get rid of the ball quickly and keep himself standing upright.
Speaking of the Patriots, the Bills at No. 8 are the top team in the AFC East. The Patriots land at No. 14 with the Jets and Dolphins clocking in at No. 23 and dead last, respectively.
The Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes lead the list as the top dog. The Seahawks and Cowboys land in second and third, respectively.
