Thurman Thomas sees Bills’ Allen developing into true leader

Associated Press  

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Thurman Thomas has seen enough in Josh Allen’s development to become a big believer in the Buffalo Bills’ third-year quarterback. “Showing maturity, confidence and now some touch in his passes, looking like an MVP candidate for years to come.” Informed how Allen joined Thomas’ long-time Bills teammate and Hall of Famer, Jim Kelly, in becoming the second Buffalo player to top 300 yards passing in three consecutive games, Thomas responded by writing: “He will blow Jim’s numbers away easily, if he stays healthy.” So far, there’s been no stopping Allen’s dynamic start to the season. “He’s got a lot of fire in him, and that spreads throughout the team,” said receiver Cole Beasley, whose 17- and 22-yard catches on third downs extended Buffalo’s decisive 11-play, 75-yard drive. “Any time you’ve got a guy like that, you’re going to run through a wall for him.” In getting Buffalo off to a 3-0 start in consecutive seasons for just the third time in team history, and first since 1991 and ’92, Allen’s blemishes have been easier to overlook.
