He's got some Mark Sanchez in him that's for sure
I wonder if Josh Allen is like the contemporary version of Joe Kapp. Kind of slogs/wills his team down the field, but not very accurate and somewhat erratic in his decision making. I thought the impromptu lateral to his TE late in the game was something Kapp would have done. That said, Allen is interesting to watch. I've seen him multiple times get stuffed on 4th and 1 QB sneaks, and on second-effort plow his way through the entire defense for the 1st down. He is definitely not a typical QB. I thought the broadcasters in the game went way overboard in their praise of Allen, but he still almost won the game for Buffalo.
very apt comparison and one that didn't come to mind right away. He's a football player who happens to be a QB but doesn't, and may never have a QB mentality...but has brilliant athletic gifts (arm, legs, size etc) that are poorly woven together
