    Yep, exactly correct.  And if one watches that highlight film, one can't help (at least I can't help) but be impressed by the abilities of the WR he's throwing to.  There are some real circus catches complete with pointed-toe drags to stay inbounds, that wouldn't have to be with a bit better ball placement.

     

     But I also saw balls thrown to all levels of the fields and all types of throws made. Deep passes, back shoulder, sideline, and middle of the field. I mean he actually threw some great passes deep. Not sure how that happened with such a weak arm. There wasn't a throw he didnt make. The negative nancies like to point out the fact that the Bengals lost to Pittsburgh but it wasn't because of AJ. AJ had the game won. The Bengals were also without their starting tightend, Tyler whomever, and only had two receivers, Aj Green and Sanu. 

  2. Whew only one team paying players out there. That's good news. Well Clemson has been to the playoffs 3 years in a row they must be paying players....of course there is Oklahoma they've been in the playoffs a bunch they must be paying. Guess all the teams that suck must not be paying players. Their coaches are better than Saban. Bama is known for being the state with the most money in it. Must not be any crooked rich people in NY. Otherwise Syracuse would be awesome! According to your theory.

    Honest question. All over the boards I've seen it repeated over and over since the draft that Allen has the highest ceiling. What exactly does that mean and how are people getting to that conclusion? What QB does he look like if he gets there? How does he win games? What are his losses like? Why can't Mayfield be the next Drew Brees? Why can't Darnold be the next Marino, Rosen the next Eli, Rudolph the next Roethlisberger?

     

    If Allen becomes the next Favre, is that the pinnacle of quarterbacking?


    How EXACTLY does Allen have the "highest ceiling" when he's never played better than any of his peers going back to pee-wee?

    I think people are confusing highest ceiling with largest amount of growth to do to reach his ceiling. I don't think his ceiling is any higher than Darnolds or Mayfields. They are just more NFL ready than he is.

    Here we go. 

     

    Lets all all fall in love with a career backup hold him up on a pedestal and inflate expectations only to be disappointed.  Rinse and repeat every 3 years. 

     

    The cycle provides slight entertainment to those that go from home to work to home to work to home boring people. 

    I'm guessing AJ will be day one starter and you don't want him to succeed???

  5. So if you had to pick between Darnold and McCarron who would you take? 

     

    Comparing their college stats AJ out performed Darnold in every stat. Besides yardage he was better than Lamar Jackson. He doesn't turn the ball over. Which means he isn't going to cost your team wins. He isn't scared to throw the ball, something tt was afraid to do. He can throw a wide receiver open. He'll surprise many on here. Don't think we lose as many games as people think with AJ as qb.

    I've read other commentators that Allen has unlimited upside and could have been the best QB in the draft.  Only time will tell.

     

     

    At this point he is a bill so you pull for him but why is everyone saying he has an unlimited upside or highest ceiling? He has the most to do to even get where Baker Mayfield or Darnold are at. I don't think he has the highest ceiling. I think he has the biggest gap to get to his ceiling. Not saying his ceiling isn't on par with Mayfield or Darnold just has the longest way to go to get there.

    I want to draft Rosen (or Darnold or Mayfield), but I think Lamar will have immediate impact.

    What do you see in Lamar that made that kind of impression on you? Did you watch him in college? I think of all the qbs he'd be the biggest project. He makes some really bad throws. Are you thinking he would have the biggest upside or potential? I don't think he could come in and start. He'd need a year or two.
