Some random thoughts on Allen as I read this thread:
* Didn't Arizona make a big push to move up and take Allen over Rosen?
* The notion that Allen should have dropped into the 3rd or 4th round seems crazy to me.
* The Bills had a shot at two of the top 4 QB's unless you think we should have moved up ahead of the Jets to grab Darnold (which would have cost us a ton). And I've yet to see anything that makes me think Rosen would have been a better pick then Allen. Sure Rosen is ahead of Allen but his upside is way below Allen's.
* Like others have said, it would have been ideal for Allen to sit at least half the season. But that's water under the bridge now. Allen became the starter in week 2 and must now take his lumps and remain the starter for better or worse. To bench him for ANY reason other then injury would set his development back.
* I keep hearing folks talk about all these other QB's throwing for big yardage while the Bills & Allen struggle to top 100 yards. And I find this frustrating to. But what I see in these other games are RB's, TE's and WR's getting open all over the field. And I don't need a 360 degree review of every pass play to see how open they are. It's right there on my sort of big screen TV and you just don't see that when watching a Bills game. Sure, Allen owns some of this but with the exception of Shady how many of our skill players would see the field on almost any other NFL team?
