You'll find out when they need him to put the team on his back at some point.
That's the one weakness of Shanahan's offenses...they are schemed incredibly well but rely on QBs that cannot put the team on their back when needed. Those are the games there for the taking but lost due to QB play.
Not necessarily. They are in a key 3rd and manageable situation at 3rd and 5th. The odds of convering. 3rd and 5 are significantly higher than a 3rd and 10.
Also since they are in fringe FG range they might have went for it if they didn't convert on 3rd and 5. No way they are going to go for it on 4rd and 10.
Like most rookies, I'll reserve judgment until next season once teams have more time to break things down in the offseason and then someone finds something that works against him and everyone else copies it.
Let's see what his counter to that is. That's where a lot of these stories come to an end. Once they get figured out, they have no effective counter to it.
I can say if we end up playing the 49ers and they try and pass rush like that against Allen, he is going to have well over 100 yards rushing...the middle of the field is wide open
He may be a bad fit for they are asking him to do. I mean the 49ers have played like 6 QBs over the past 3 years and all of them to varying degrees have looked capable.
Now imagine if that was Allen out there one on one with him...he might still be running. It's shocking to watch how easily other QBs go down after you are used to seeing Allen.
