People can make all the excuses they want, but he was a risky pick who plays a position where most 1st round picks at that position aren't successful. You will eat these words

Forgot about the trade. Point still is you cant go into a season with 2 unknowns. If your plan was to let Allen sit and learn then let him sit. McCarron was a cheap enough option.

The truth is that fewer than 50% of 1st round QBs are successful, and when you take away the guys who go #1 overall, their success rate drops to around 30%. History clearly shows Allen has about a 1 in 3 chance of working out. That's the reality we face.
ddaryl Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 I hope Allen gets it..... that's all I can do at this point is hope the lights come on soon. Its just hard to endure after 2+ decades of subpar QB play. Patience is one thing but 2 decades is beyond reasonable expectation IMO
buffalobloodfloridahome Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 Only thing I'm worried about is him seeing ghosts and bailing out of the Pocket too early on a few plays. Which actually put him In harm's way. Plus he needs to keep his footwork to be accurate. I don't want to see him sacrifice his body for a bad season either. I do wanna see playcalling that gets the ball out quicker.
CountDorkula Posted October 4, 2018 Posted October 4, 2018 I'm rooting for him to be the best QB in the league. That said I have concerns about his pocket presence/awareness. I don't know how much that can be learned/corrected.

That's the reality we face. i think if they surround him with talent he will be good . when he has had time in the pocket he hasn't looked bad, give him more experience he will be alright.
