Fans are always warned not to get too high or too low while reading reports during OTAs and minicamps, especially when they involve your team's second-year hopeful franchise quarterback. Tuesday was a day that Bills fans might do just that.
That's because Josh Allen was really good.
Really, really good.
Sure, I'm the team's radio sideline reporter and work for the flagship station. So maybe you don't want to just take my word for it. That's fine. If that's the case, here's a sampling of other media members' observations while we were all out on the field watching No. 17 sling it around during the fourth of 10 organized team activities:
Take it with a grain of salt because it's just spring practices, but Josh Allen has been even better on the practice field today. Maybe his best practice as a Bill that we've seen. https://t.co/4T5LKtmAll
— Mark Ludwiczak (@marklud12) May 28, 2019Josh Allen with a crazy good touchdown (on a slant between two defenders) to Zay Jones. Three of us on the sidelines just turned to each other shaking our heads in unison. He's having a great day.
— Mark Ludwiczak (@marklud12) May 28, 2019First play of team drills working fringe red zone, Josh Allen tossed a touchdown to John Brown. Good start to the afternoon for 17.
— Matthew Fairburn (@MatthewFairburn) May 28, 2019Two plays later, another touchdown from Josh Allen to Dawson Knox. Three plays, two touchdowns.
— Matthew Fairburn (@MatthewFairburn) May 28, 2019Josh Allen looks really sharp in team drills, hitting 5 of 6 passes and one was picked by Poyer but should've been caught by Knox. Great start for him. #Bills
— Andy Young (@AndyYoungTV) May 28, 2019Josh Allen really is having a hell of a day. Just hit Zay Jones in stride over the middle between two DBs for a TD. Poyer did have another pick where it looks like McCloud might've slipped, but Allen has been mostly on time and on target. #Bills
— Andy Young (@AndyYoungTV) May 28, 2019Here's a look at a couple of the early throws Allen made. One was a terrific back-shoulder connection to running back Devin Singletary. The next play was a strike down the sideline to running back LeSean McCoy, who couldn't hold on to it.

— Matthew Bové (@Matt_Bove) May 28, 2019It wasn't a completely perfect day for Allen. He did overthrow an open Ray-Ray McCloud in the back of the end zone and was also picked off by Jordan Poyer at the goal line on another ball intended for McCloud. Those were his first - and maybe only - true misses of the day, and neither happened until the third red zone series of the afternoon.
Don't get too high and don't get too low, but if you're a Bills fan and want a reason to feel good and hopeful about Allen, the quarterback gave you plenty of reason to do that Tuesday.
