Without a doubt, Josh Allen has established himself as a real danger to the AFC convention. With a rather strong showing in his freshman season, both the Bills and Allen are now perfectly put together. Allen joined the NFL as one of the league’s most raw yet naturally gifted quarterbacks in quite a while. However, his entry hasn’t been as fruitful as one would expect.

Back in 2018, the Buffalo Bills completed the first deal of the NFL Draft, sending the 12th overall selection and two second-round choices to Tampa Bay in order to get former Wyoming standout, Josh Allen, as the next starting quarterback. Little would they know, they receive a player with such strong potential, someone who has been expected to be the No. 1 overall draft pick by many analysts.

Following the acquisition, the Buffalo Bills announces on Twitter that they had selected Allen with the seventh overall selection.

Several Bills Mafia members on Twitter, though, have been dissatisfied with the team’s decision to choose Allen over all the other eligible prospects, notably UCLA’s Josh Rosen.

The Buffalo Bills led the AFC East with an 11-6-0 record, owing to QB Allen and his play-calling abilities. During his 2021 season, he passed for 4407 yards, 15 interceptions, a 63.3 pass completion rate, and 36 passing touchdowns. Above everything else, his passing skills on short and medium-range throws have clearly improved since entering the Bills organization.

Despite all the hate, Josh Allen made his statement clear: To make the Bills a winning franchise. Positive signs in a quarterback’s technique are significant since they represent the definite prospect of potential development. The Bills Mafia now absolutely adores Josh Allen. That’s not just because he dominates, has a bullet for an arm, and plays like a true veteran. It’s because everyone believes in him. Be it the fans, the roster, or GM Brandon Beane.
