Strengths
Josh Allen has his flaws, but no one can deny the talent that he possesses, which easily gives him the highest ceiling out of any QB in the draft. So the potential is there. The first thing that stands out when watching Allen is his arm strength. It is absurd. He easily has the arm to make every throw, and he falls into the category of “special” arm strength. Along with his ridiculous arm strength, he has ideal size for a QB. He is built like big ben, and he has the athleticism to move around in the pocket. He is clean off the field and has shown to have a strong work ethic. His 2016 tape was really good,where he showed solid field vision and good accuracy in the short to intermediate part of the field. He also does a really good job throwing on the run. So what can he improve upon?
Weakness
So what can he improve upon? Literally everything else. His mechanics are okay but need serious work, his footwork is all over the place, his accuracy can be a mess, he tends to stare down his receivers, and he has no feel within the pocket. He can have a perfectly clean pocket and abandon it for no reason. All of this is concerning. But the two things that worry me the most are lack of touch and decision making. He seems to fire every throw instead of understanding touch passes. And the last thing is decision making. I want to throw my computer across the room whenever I see him roll out and throw across his body, overthrow his target and throw an interception. The guy has a ton of talent, but he doesn’t seem to have a feel for the game. I see the talent, but I am going to need to see it to believe it.
