The bottom line is this -- if Allen learns not to make "dumb" mistakes (like the 4th down play) he is going to make a number of these sorts of throws each game. DBs will have a hard time picking him off because the ball is there so quickly.

But now I'm definitely not a fan of how they are managing Allen. You invest all this draft capital in him, say you might red shirt him, he's the future. Then you play him behind an oline of all guys you're going to cut. If you're going to red shirt him, red shirt him. I don't want him out their behind a bunch of bums taking hits for no reason. It's pointless. He had little to no help tonight, I'm not even sure how you can evaluate a lot of what he did tonight given what he's working with. Remember when Rex was ridiculed for playing Sanchez behind a bunch of bums and got hurt? How about that going for it on 4th down play? That had that bs written all over it. But whatever, it's McDermott, not Ryan. So it can't be the same. Right now they're trying to figure out who starts opening day. Allen is not in that race. His time will come.

You CAN blame him for running around like a Keystone Kop and then hurling the ball into trouble as he's going down.

He didn't have many options, especially if you believe (as I do) that he wrote off Foster as a receiving option after two alligator arms efforts.

Meh essentially was trying to throw it away. He’s lucky that wasn’t picked off. He was probably told never to do that again. Hope he learns from these mistakes

An incompletion in that scenario is the same as a turnover.

Nobody said he had good options on a busted play, just that what he chose to do could have been a much worse result (pick-6) than eating the ball or truly throwing it out of bounds. It's not a huge deal in a preseason game, obviously, but he can't make that decision in a game that matters.
