Allen was, in a solid QB class, a near consensus top10 lock. Absolutely nothing like the the players you mentioned.
He had (and has) all the physical tools. The knock was how raw he was. So he comes out his rookie year showing all the flaws he carried from Wyoming and a lot of the gifts that got him drafted @7th overall, then follows it up w/a sophomore campaign that improved nearly across the board...and people are mad at what exactly? That his development appears to be right on schedule?
FFS the kid said this as a junior in college- “The NFL will be there,” Allen says a day later. “I don’t want to be the guy that gets drafted in the first round, plays four years and then is out of the league. I want to be a guy that plays 15 years with the same organization and be one of the best quarterbacks to ever play the game.’’
But 2020 will definitely be the year that decides it for everyone lol right
