    The Fins had an awful defense and fired everyone after the game. 

     

    But yes, at this point, Allen owned Matt Burke and the Fins defense last year. 

     

    Well that has exactly nothing to do with the thread topic or my point, but sure. How many rookie QBs have ever scored 5 TDs in a single game? Do you think Allen is the only rookie to face a bad defense? Does the awful supporting cast around him offset that at all or can we only use that line of logic to downplay his performance?

     

    I'll tell you what, I didn't want Allen pre-draft and if the Jets had taken him at #3 overall I would have laughed at them. But if he scored 5 TDs the last game of the year that would open my eyes quite a bit. Similarly I thought Daniel Jones was a horrible pick but right now I'm not laughing at the Giants. I think Allen is in the same position as most QBs coming out of their rookie season, it's wait and see at this point. The only people still laughing are the ones that have to be right because their reputation as an analyst depends on it.

    But along with Singletary, I'm concerned about Knox. Very early to judge, but those are the two guys I'm concerned about.

     

    I'm actually very optimistic about Knox. He's an athletic freak and blocks very well in the run game. He had no role at Ole Miss, a terrible QB, and a bunch of NFL receivers around him. He was already developing good chemistry with Allen early in OTAs before the injury. I see him having a bigger year than people think.

    I also think people here are underrating the Jets.

     

    I remain very optimistic about Darnold becoming a great QB. Hate to say it but he was looking sharp at the end of last year and that continued into this preseason. But man their defense back 7 looks pretty rough and I have zero confidence in Gase. I think Jets will go like 8-8 and split with the Bills purely because of Darnold.

    I had heard reports throughout the preseason that Butler did not look good at all and there was even speculation that the Cardinals would use his hand injury as a way to stash him this season because he is not ready for the NFL yet. It was on the radio, so no link unfortunately. 

     

    This is correct. He can't separate and has very inconsistent hands. I never understood the fascination with him.
