Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is absolutely on fire, kicking off the season like a guy with an MVP trophy already in his sights. Through just two games, Allen has led the Bills to a perfect 2-0 start and put up some of the strongest statistical numbers of his career, throwing for 582 yards and five touchdowns. He’s also a beast on the ground, adding 92 rushing yards and another four scores. What’s truly wild is these incredible numbers come with zero interceptions.
Tom Brady Breaks Down Allen’s Early Season Fire
Seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady, speaking with Colin Cowherd on “The Herd,” was quick to point to Allen’s development under former offensive coordinator Brian Daboll. Brady believes Allen really learned the system during that time. “I thought there was a lot of development that took place when he had Brian Daboll as his [offensive] coordinator,” Brady said. “I think he learned the system. He’s got an awesome ability to improvise and we’ve seen that for a long time.” His physical talents are obvious, but Brady emphasized that something deeper has matured.
The Secret Sauce: Eliminating Negative Plays
Brady zeroed in on Allen’s biggest area of growth: his ability to avoid negative plays. Early in his career, turnovers were a huge knock, but now Allen is playing like a far more disciplined decision-maker. “He’s got the big arm, the legs and can kind of run the big plays,” Brady noted. “It’s always been ‘how can he eliminate the negative plays?’ The bonehead fumbles, the bonehead sacks and those plays are the ones that put your team behind the eight ball.” As a Hall of Fame passer known for protecting the football, Brady recognized this growth immediately. He called eliminating negative plays the single biggest sign of Allen’s development and maturity. “Sometimes the best play is throwing the ball away,” Brady added. “Playing for a second down and staying in those situations. Eliminating the negative plays. I think for him, that’s where I’ve seen his game mature the most.”
This kind of disciplined, explosive play early in the season? That’s exactly what you want to see from a guy leading his team, especially when a legendary passer like Brady spots that maturity.
