Just curious, how much "tape" have you seen on Josh Allen? What makes you smarter than the talking heads? I will give you the argument the talking heads don't know shit most of the time. For them it is more about getting people to read their blogs or tweets etc. Trying to break in to the media world. Like I asked AZ, what were you saying about Wentz, before and after he got drafted?
In the college game the QB is usually slotted into a system and he either does well in that system or doesn't. Ohio State is a good one to look at for that. I have followed Urban Meyers career as he is one of the better offensive minds in college football. Urban likes to use a QB that can run the ball, he even did it with Smith at Utah. Tebow at Florida. Most pro teams shudder at their qb's running the ball. Too much money invested in them. Pro qb's mostly manage games if they have all the parts in place. Look at Dallas last year and then look at them one year later missing a few pieces to the puzzle. Night and day. Every now and then you have a Brett Favre come along, but not very often. A lot of qb's are like Manning of the Giants. He manages games, if he has the right pieces. Even Peyton won a title with Denver , hurt to the point where he looked like a 3rd string qb. He managed that game.
Not saying Allen is a Favre, but he has a lot of the traits and a lot of announcers used them as comparisons during televised games. But Allen can throw any pass out there. His biggest knock was he had no touch. He dispelled that at the Senior Bowl. I like Mayfield after watching him practice for 3 days at the Senior Bowl. He is a natural leader. But most people are hating on him comparing him to Manziel. His height might catch up to him every now and then, as I saw it happen in the Senior Bowl. But his playmaking ability and leadership might overtake that. I have seen Darnold and Rosen on tv, but hard to tell from that small of a sample. It helps that Rosen played in a Pro offense like Allen. Allen has some catching up to do, but physically he has all the tools and then some.
I just shake my head when us fans say the NFL people are idiots. They have all the numbers and video plus seeing in person and interviews with the prospects and still miss out on players. And their job is on the line. We can just sit back and second guess all day. The great part of being on a fan board I guess. If we are wrong someone on the board might remember it down the road and throw it in our face. Big whoop. I remember when Wentz got drafted and most everyone said the same thing, he is not even playing in D1. They were pretty much saying the same thing you are right now. Funny how few come back and eat crow.
