People can make all the excuses they want, but he was a risky pick who plays a position where most 1st round picks at that position aren't successful.

Forgot about the trade. Point still is you cant go into a season with 2 unknowns. If your plan was to let Allen sit and learn then let him sit. McCarron was a cheap enough option.

The truth is that fewer than 50% of 1st round QBs are successful, and when you take away the guys who go #1 overall, their success rate drops to around 30%. History clearly shows Allen has about a 1 in 3 chance of working out. That's the reality we face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddaryl Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I hope Allen gets it..... that's all I can do at this point is hope the lights come on soon. Its just hard to endure after 2+ decades of subpar QB play. Patience is one thing but 2 decades is beyond reasonable expectation IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalobloodfloridahome Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 Only thing I'm worried about is him seeing ghosts and bailing out of the Pocket too early on a few plays. Which actually put him In harm's way. Plus he needs to keep his footwork to be accurate. I don't want to see him sacrifice his body for a bad season either. I do wanna see playcalling that gets the ball out quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountDorkula Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 I'm rooting for him to be the best QB in the league. That said I have concerns about his pocket presence/awareness. I don't know how much that can be learned/corrected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
