thelawlorfaithful Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 Josh Allen is the new conference realignment. Screw him. We’re all sitting in the dugout. Thinking we should pitch. How you gonna throw a shutout when all you do is bitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cherrycrush Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 This is the number #1 QB going into next years draft and the 49ers next franchise QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthWestCowboy Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 That article makes for a good read and seems to lay out the scenario for Josh's decision to stay at Wyoming. I can't imagine what it would be like at 20 years old sitting in your living room with a bunch of agents promising you the moon if you sign with them. Knowing deep down that you need more experience to refine your craft but that even a second or third round selection is automatic money not to mention a potential payday of a chance first round pick. I just hope Josh will be up to all the media attention and hype that's coming his way. The story line will be a very attractive one to the sports media just as the article is titled from no one to # 1 and a small town farm kid to boot. The underdog appeal is pretty high on this one.

But not Josh Allen. No way, no howdy! Boom goes the dynamite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pokebball Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 https://www.si.com/vault/2017/05/09/no-one-no-1# Honestly, i feel these kind of stories, about any of our MWC kids are inspiring. I don't want to beat the horse about Allen but anytime any of our kids can get this kind of press and interest, it helps out the entire conference, right? The World Needs More Cowboys!

Headbutt Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 Is a cool story, and does reflect well on the MWC. Lil John is going to freaking LOVE Cleveland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthWestCowboy Posted May 11, 2017 Share Posted May 11, 2017 The size of the town/city you're from has no bearing on how you may or may not handle media attention/expectations. It's just something one is able or unable to handle based on personality and upbringing. If Josh is anything like most farm/ranch raised kids I know including myself he had a helluva lot more responsibility and expectations placed on him growing up than your average kid.
