ghostwriter Posted May 26, 2018 Posted May 26, 2018 If he wins it in an HONEST battle, there should be no downside at ALL to start him week 1. 2

Hard to believe he wasn't drafted till the 6th... Someone said something about red flags, didn't they? 5 minutes ago, NewDayBills said: If he wins it in an HONEST battle, there should be no downside at ALL to start him week 1. To me, winning the start means he's the guy who gives us the best chance to win games NOW... Like I said, 7 wins is my bar....3+ game winning drives would also help in converting me. 1

Anything less than that and I'm going to start getting really worried and I may question my faith in him.

Chicharito Posted May 26, 2018 Posted May 26, 2018 5 wins due to our defense shutting some teams down, and I’m completely ok with it! I have a good feeling allen will be a good one for a a lot of years!

Next year, when we'll have a boatload of money in FA, surround him with legitimate offensive threats and take the training wheels off. Pretty much hit the nail on the head. 1

Win or lose, I think it's most important what Allen looks like than how he plays. By week 12, does he start looking more comfortable? Does he start grasping the offense? Does he make decisions for the right reason (not necessarily the right result)? Most importantly, is he aggressive? I don't care if we're 1-11, when there's 4 minutes left in a one score game, does he try to win? Does he attack a defense? Does he trust his arm in a tough throw in a big spot? I'm a firm believer that a rookie who plays their whole or almost their whole first year, you see their ceiling by the end. You see what they will be. Derek Carr in his 15th game already looked like Derek Carr. Russell Wilson was the Russell Wilson by the 2013 postseason. If I can see the vision by the end of year one, its on. If Allen is skittish, uncomfortable, unaggressive, we're in trouble. You can make an aggressive QB tone down the mistakes, you CANNOT make a conservative QB trust themselves and their arm. 2

Thurmal34 Posted May 27, 2018 Posted May 27, 2018 A rough to mediocre 2018, a competitive 2019, and a winning 2020.
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted May 27, 2018 Posted May 27, 2018 What else would one expect from our starter. Play smart, stretche the field and Win games.
klos63 Posted May 27, 2018 Posted May 27, 2018 Since we made the playoffs last season and I think our defense will be significantly better, I'm expecting the playoffs. If he wins the job out of training camp it means he gives us the best chance to win. He'll be Offensive ROY.

The Wiz Posted May 27, 2018 Posted May 27, 2018 I expect someone to offer the opinion to play Peterman if he has a few bad games.
Lfod Posted May 27, 2018 Posted May 27, 2018 (edited) My expectations is that is he starts the experiment begins and Allen stays the starter until the experiment is over regulardless of the outcome. If you start him and he gets killed I won't be listening to excuses because I wanted the team to be patient and not start him until everything around him was ready as well as him being fully ready for the NFL.
