Tom Brady’s decision to leave New England leaves the AFC East open for the Bills. Josh Allen can lead Buffalo to a division title in 2020.
2020 is shaping up to be a make or break season for Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills. For the first time in ages, the Patriots look vulnerable which leaves the AFC East there for the taking. The question is whether or not Allen can play well enough to lead Buffalo to the promised land.
Allen clearly has the physical tools to be a high-level NFL starter. His running ability makes him a nightmare for opposing defenses to gameplan against. He also has the arm strength required to make every throw in the playbook.
Allen’s inaccuracy is what has held him back during his young career. He only completed a shade over 58 percent of his passes in 2019. That isn’t good enoguh to build an efficient offense. Fortunately, there are plenty of reasons to believe Allen can take a step forward in 2020. Read on to discover the top five reasons why Allen can lead the Bills to a special season.
5 reasons Josh Allen can lead the Bills to wins in 2020
5. An underrated head coach
Sean McDermott might be the most underrated head coach in the NFL. His talent has been somewhat obscured by coaching in the same division as Bill Belichick. All that should change in 2020.
More than anyone, McDermott is familiar with what Allen can and cannot do at the quarterback position. He’s not going to turn his young signal caller into a game manager, but he’s also not going to require him to become Joe Montana in terms of accuracy. Week in and week out, the Bills are going to construct an offensive scheme that puts Allen in the best possible position to succeed.
McDermott understands that Allen has to be really good for the Bills to make a long postseason run. He won’t overwhelm the talented, but flawed quarterback. Allen has the perfect head coach to get the best out of his unique skill set.
