Bob in STL Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 There simply is no correct answer. If he is not ready then he should not play, it should not matter what slot he was drafted. Allen is ready only by default, we have no one else. The kid is gamer, he is courageous, and his leadership skills are there. However, he misses a lot of plays due to lack of experience and he accuracy is not good when under constant duress. He gets little help from a subpar receiving corps. He just earned a well deserved come from behind win. Maybe it will build his confidence. The game day experience should help his decision making as time goes on but expect some more rough days ahead. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get very good olinemen in FA and in 2nd-5th rounds of draft: I expect Beane to pick up at least 3 quality linemen to help protect Allen for next year. Allen playing this year is a good thing.
