It was an incorrect, but not unreasonable take at the time to think Allen would be a bust. Yes he had the tools, but how many quarterbacks that raw have been developed the way he has by his teams? How were people to know how committed he would be in the future to working diligently each off-season to get better? The problem is with some not admitting their mistake (as I did, but no one would ever confuse me for a draft expert, nor would I claim to be), explain how he defied their expectations and moving on. To pretend they're still right and this is some kind of mirage, or that his success is solely due to this weapons, only serves to deteriorate their credibility in the future.
