From the episode

Josh Allen being a, when he got into the league, he was just kind of a wild horse. And then his second year, he really did learn to throw the one to 10 yard area...And then the last two or three years, it's been like, we need to slow down the heartbeat of the offense.

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Allen evolved through four distinct offensive iterations before mastering both styles at age 28+.

Josh Allen went through multiple iterations of his quarterback style: early in his career as a wild horse, year two learning to throw the 1-10 yard area, then several years in a high-volume Stefan Diggs passing offense, and the last 2-3 years slowing the heartbeat with run-heavy, downfield-focused approach; he's now at the point where he can weaponize both worlds, but this took until age 28-31.
