In the moment he gets fired up, but that is more of a competitive trash talking thing. He does that for fun more than cockiness. He doesn't demand the spotlight like Diggs (or lots of wide receivers). This Bills team as a whole isn't cocky, they put in the leg work and stay down to earth, which I really like.

[@answeris4217]

@@quinnjackson9252 i bet Allen gets more taunting calls than any other QB in the league. As for your point on Rodgers...he never was a guy who was a clear leader.

[@answeris4217]

He needs to win an MVP or go to the Superbowl this year to have a realistic shot at the HoF. There's 5 HoF QBs that didn't win the MVP or get to the SB before the end of the season where they turned 28. 3 of those maybe 4 weren't In the league or played much before that. Jim Kelly, Roger Staughbach, Warren Moon and Steve Young comes to mind. I think the only other one is Frank Tarkenton

@trazz407 yet he has accomplished nothing. Cam Newton won an MVP and went to the SB the year he turned 28. He is a HoFer...Allen hasn't done that... and most HoFers at his position have.

[@trazz407]

@@answeris4217 so every MVP and SB winner should be in the HoF? think about that for a second. Lamar Jackson had the two weakest MVP seasons ever, he has never won anything aside of a popularity contest twice. Josh Allen is more deserving of the HoF than Lamar and it's not close. Cam is also not going in the HoF lol he does not belong there. take a look at the list of QBs that's made it to the SB, let alone won it. you are reaching kid.

[@answeris4217]

@trazz407 no all but a handfull has ether won an MVP or has been to the SuperBowl at 28 or earlier. There's plenty who haven't won that got a gold jacket. The key thing is early in a career getting to the big game or winning an MVP

[@suscon1140]

Yep, I still remember the feeling when he came into the Baltimore game - his first regular season game in 2018. I knew the Bills had their guy pretty much immediately. The game just felt different - the entire Offense felt different in a very positive way. In watching that game, you just knew he was going to be good for Buffalo - even so, those initial expectations have been achieved and greatly surpassed by Allen....

I find it funny how Josh Allen is more of a 49ers fan than a Raiders even though at the time both the 49ers and Raiders played in the Bay area. Oakland Raiders played in Oakland during Josh Allen's childhood years yet, Josh Allen chose the 49ers in San Fran rather than the Raiders in Oakland.

It may have to do with who his parents & family grew up rooting for. If he was surrounded by Niners fans, it probably would explain why he became one

It will truly be a travesty if he doesn't win at least one super bowl. I truly can't think of a better fit than Josh Allen being the quarterback for the bills.
