Bills quarterback Josh Allen waves after the Patriots game.

Josh Allen was on his way to being a bust at the end of 2019.

There have been 98 quarterbacks this century to start at least 10 games over their first two seasons. Compared to them, the Bills quarterback was nothing special. His passer rating ranked 54th among two-year quarterbacks. He was 38th in touchdown passes, 69th in completion percentage and 63th in passing yards per game.

Statistically, Mitch Trubisky had a better first two seasons. So did a lot of players.
