Could Allen eventually surpass Kelly?
Let’s not get ahead of ourselves. Way too soon to be saying stuff like that. At this point, he seems to be getting better and better. If he stays healthy and keeps his head on straight, there’s no telling what he could do. I’m excited to find out. First, he needs a playoff win. Then a trip to the Big Dance. Then another. THEN we can start talking about all-time stuff.

Josh Allen has already done things that Jim Kelly has never done regarding rushing touchdowns and passing touchdowns through the same number of games. Although no one loves Jim Kelly better than me I believe this kid is going to be better when it’s all said and done. Does not have to go to four straight Super Bowls to be considered as great as Kelly.

What Josh Allen is doing by making receivers want to come here from other teams — Diggs, Brown, and Beasley — is showing what a great QB he is ... still hasn’t lead the NFL in INTs yet. Kelly did that right dab smack in the prime of his career. And he still doesn’t have a Thurman yet for support. They look very similar throwing the ball.
Allen is faster and has great running instincts. But now he has clearly shown he can throw crisp pass after pass. Hitting receivers in stride.

I agree, it’s very much more an aerial league AND Josh has one thing Jim didn’t ... legs as a weapon. I think he WILL win a Super Bowl here, and I DO think that if he stays healthy, he will be all-time leader in many if not all passing categories. I said what I said.

ALLEN GETS HISTORIC DEAL
Bills QB now under contract through 2028
Right back in the swing of things
It’s fair to say that this year’s Bills training camp looks wildly different from those of the past.
1st & Ten with STEFON DIGGS
Stefon Diggs had one of the best seasons ever by a Bills receiver in 2020, and he’s looking for an encore. Diggs was clearly amped up and ready to go as the Bills began their preparations for the new season, leading the huddle and supporting his teammates as they kicked off training camp in Orchard Park. Diggs recently touched on his goals for the upcoming season for both himself and the team in an informative discussion with members of the media. Here are the highlights from that discussion.
RUNNING BACKS: TOP AVAILABLE FREE AGENTS
Aaron Jones, Packers 5-9 • 208 pounds • 27 years old A fifth-round steal in the 2017 draft out of UTEP, Jones is equally proficient in the running and passing games. He rushed for more than 1,000 yards the last two years, and caught 49 and 47 passes, respectively. He’s also a touchdown machine with 30 TDs the last two years (25 rushing and 5 receiving). The son of two career Army officers, he’s a tough, driven player and the kind of guy players want on their team.
THE RIGHT STUFF?
Keeping two important starters is a priority as the right side of the O-line hits free agency
QUARTERBACKS: TOP AVAILABLE FREE AGENTS
Dak Prescott, Cowboys 6-2 • 235 pounds • 27 years old A solid starter who has a nice TD-INT ratio over his first five seasons (104-40), Prescott is an accurate thrower and very mobile. However, he’s coming off a compound fracture and dislocation of his right ankle, so it remains to be seen if this will impact his game moving forward.
TIGHT ENDS: TOP AVAILABLE FREE AGENTS
Hunter Henry, Chargers 6-5 • 250 pounds • 29 years old A very talented player, Henry has had issues staying healthy, unable to complete an NFL season, including missing the entire 2018 season with a torn ACL. But when healthy, he’s a terrific all-around tight end who really connected with Justin Herbert in 2020 with 60 catches. Henry is very good at finding holes in zone coverage.
