Allen has the ability to extend plays with his scrambling. I've been impressed with how Brown, Beasley and Sweeney/Knox have found the open space when Allen scrambles. The Pats haven't defended anything like that yet this year.
I don't disagree with you that Jones did a great job. I like the kid. I meant 20yds, but 10yds probably works just as well,. The greater point is that as distance of pass increases, accuracy decreases. Always has, always will.
Jones was good QB in college, there really is no arguing that. He looked good last week. I think he could be a great NFL QB. He's certainly got to earn that and he hasn't yet.
Every single player on the roster has to believe they can take the field and take the game. These young guys don't know better. They're going to do this.
I think there are some deep plays in the playbook that have been called...given Allen gets the time for them to develop. Otherwise he's looking elsewhere. We've seen the "elsewhere".
There is a balance here. It isn't one or the other. Josh throws pretty hard which makes it more difficult for defenders to actually make the catch/interception. They might get their hand in to tip the pass, but to actually make the interception is harder. We've got to use Josh's skill to our advantage. Bill's WR and TEs should be at the receiving end of a jugs machine every day. Use Josh's arm strength to our advantage, don't remove it.
If the O line doesn't take that next step vs. a solid pass rush this team might not make the playoffs. In my opinion, that's the most critical factor to address on offense. You don't want Josh scrambling, find him another second or two of protection.
