He's a weird dude...how can someone so inherently inaccurate ever be considered a franchise QB...yet, all his 4th quarter comebacks are not typical of someone who is an outright bust.
Anyway, this paragraph from nfl.com pretty much sums him up.
1. Sixty minutes of Josh Allen playing football is an adventure. With a rarely accurate rocket for an arm that could dial up an in-stride receiver as easily as an unsuspecting fan in the first row, Allen struggled early before leading a full-speed comeback that resulted in the Bills avoiding an embarrassing loss with a 31-21 victory over the winless Dolphins on Sunday. Buffalo, off to a 5-1 opening for the first time since 2008, scored on each of its first three drives, but they were all Stephen Hauschka field goals. Often missing by a mile with touchless throws, Allen continued to play the only way he seemingly knows how: rearing back and throwing his hardest, running with no fear and ultimately playing with reckless abandon. Two touchdowns, a two-point rush, 202 yards passing and a 111.4 QB rating stood as Allen's final tally. But it's the fearless way in which Allen plays that makes every outing an adventure and has made him a leader of a promising Buffalo team.
Am I sold on him? Not without an accurate arm. But he does have some intangibles, which is what I liked about him in the first place. He is benefiting from an iteration of an NFL with a LOT of historically bad teams.
