Not a cop out. I believe Allen’s leadership, competitiveness and intangibles are way beyond EJ’s. But all those things mean nothing unless he improves in year 2. I don’t believe they’ll bring in a QB in the draft or FA.
It will be interesting to see if Allen makes an actual statistical improvement in year 2.
There are arguments that can be made to support improvement, regression, or a plateau.
Can we all agree he must improve his completion percentage? Accuracy aside people need to start catching greater than 50% of his pass attempts.
