What does the team actually have to lose by giving Allen a single series with the ones in the third quarter on the 24th of this month? 

That's NOT going to create some mutinous discord among the players. If anything, it sends a message that open competition is real and not just lip service from the coaches.

 How is it a meaningful competition if Allen gets a shot when he hasn't earned it? They've seen Allen ever since he's arrived and yet Marrone still doesn't even considering him worth mentioning at the post game press conference until asked. He said both his QBs. You're basically arguing for Marrone and the staff to ignore everything they have seen and give him a chance anyway. We'll find out in game 3 whether Allen is really in the mix. I expect him to be the third guy. It wouldn't shock me if they brought in a vet to be the backup if BB5 is cut.
