I was joking but yes 100%. Allen's motion was what I liked about him once we drafted him, it was a little long but not wasted motion that couldn't be corrected and stay powerful/repeatable
Now guys like Lamar can make it work but it's still not an efficient release plus I think it puts more pressure on your elbow
It's also worth mentioning skill players in this offense are going to have outsize TD numbers relative to their actual talent...which is how Dawson Knox found himself among top TEs for touchdowns two years ago
If you go by the traditional yards measurement you bring in more guys above Davis
Whether Beane/McDermott is responsible for this year's result kind of misses the point imo
I believe Allen's floor is minimum wildcard round... unfortunately we've seen our ceiling and it's well short of the super bowl, with good rosters and lesser ones. Basically Allen establishes our baseline and the coaches/FO cap it.
I didn't watch a ton of him at Clemson
But in the pros he looked like a Reggie Bush type where the athleticism to dominate college kids just doesn't translate to the pros. Succeeding in the NFL takes a lot more than just unique physical abilities
I need to see more from Cook
I'm close to calling him a real weapon but there are a few too many got to have downs where we handoff to him and get punished for it
He had Roethlisberger, Bell, AB, JuJu, AND Martavis Bryant all in the same locker room at the same time iirc
Just for that he deserves a Nobel peace prize
There really shouldn't be any confusion as to why the guy who insisted Nate Peterman was a starting NFL quarterback doesn't get a lot of credit for developing Allen
