I said months ago the Patriots will try and get up the board for Allen, If he drops that helps them does it not? Heck of a response though. I have thought for awhile that the ONLY thing that will change perception of Allen is if he goes to the Pats. The flip will be so hard it will be heard around the world.

I feel like they are serious about getting a replacement for Brady and they aren’t going to sit idle if a guy like Allen is available. I’m limiting myself to one hot take for tonight, Allen is a Bill or Patriot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a coincidence that this came out the day before the draft. Why would he just stumble on it then? Coincidence?? LOL ? NO !! but it wouldn’t be bad idea for the DemocRATS to try and hire Benjamin Allbright !!!

If somebody else screen captures it 3 years ago, right after you post it, scrubbing your Twitter won't remove it from wherever it was retweeted from. Right, if someone screen captured it 3 years ago there's obviously nothing you can do. I would think, however, that with a big event like the NFL draft in your future the chances that someone goes fishing for something like this increases exponentially and it's in your best interest to not make it easy for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People said it was a result of mechanical problems. Now he's fixed the mechanics and his accuracy has improved a great deal. He absolutely can accurately throw a football. Still more to see, but this is far more than most guys with mechanical problems are able to do before they're even drafted. They said the same thing about Tim Tebow. And????

Allen's tools are elite...They are like top-tier elite...Mayock said it last night...Highest upside of anyone in this Draft, and it's not even close...

Blokestradamus Posted April 26, 2018 Share Posted April 26, 2018 3 hours ago, SouthNYfan said: The bolded thing was prob the only one that made me gasp. I was like "oh dude, no, just no" A lot of teenagers don't grasp the concept of that that word really means though, and they've grown up in a world that it's used in mainstream music frequently, same with the N word. The words have definitely expanded their use in society, and while I'm not saying I agree with them, the frequency and instances they have been used in Allen's lifetime has grown to much higher than ever. 3 I've been on the receiving end of that word a few times. It typically comes from a place of sheer ignorance instead of bigotry. There's a couple of occasions where I've tried to work out why that person said it and try to approach it from their point of view. After all, if they choose to stay ignorant after I've tried to enlighten them, that's on them. I'm not the thought police I've never been hurt by it but I know people who have. It'll probably irk me until the day I die because of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
