Foster published an article comparing Allen to Farve, and I have a tendency to agree. Growing up a Viking fan through the 90s I watched more than my fair share of Brett.
Watching Josh today, I get the same anxiety when I watch plays develop with our QB. An out of control but focused mentality. Same physical gifts, with the most important being hand size. It's damn remarkable really, the similarities.
The high touchdown and interception rate. The varying yardage numbers that grow throughout the season. Late play heroics, scrambling, vocal leadership and jovial celebration.
I watched some YouTube on Farve this morning. I recommend doing so. The Steve maricucci commentary is good stuff.
It makes me sorta wonder if Josh is really going to change into an high efficiency guy, or stay the way he is. If Josh had completed that byu game winner? Josh will complete those passes in the future, and miss as well.
The highs you get from watching gunslingers as a fan are insurmountable, and the loathing from other fanbases is huge.
Can't wait to make the trek this fall to watch my first game in over 12 years.
