When EJ was drafted, I can remember turning (as we all did) to YouTube to get a sense of his abilities. I was instantly dismayed. I'll say it like that and leave it at that.
When Allen was drafted, I again turned to YouTube to see what Beane had brought us. (As you might surmise, I am no college football/draft fanatic.) The reaction I have to Allen is the polar opposite of the reaction I had to E.J. This kid has the IT, the WOW, the ways and the means.
Since then I continue to read (on this most enlightened forum) how he sucks. I am not seeing, at all, what my more enlightened fellow posters are seeing.
Trusting my own two eyes, I am thankful we have a QB with such possibilities.
