The real depth chart at WR might look more like...

  • WR1 (split end): ARob, Benn, Dede
  • WR2  (flanker): Lee, Hurns, Cole
  • WR3 (slot): Hurns, Dede



Of the three QBs, you could make the argument that Allen has the best deep arm. Blake's deep passes are just so darn wobbly and lately have been wildly inaccurate. Henne can throw a deep strike, but we all know in games he's checking down instead. Allen is accustomed to often throwing deep, and at least in the preseason, he seems to handle himself in the pocket just fine. I'd at least like to see what he's got throwing to our starters.

I haven't seen it with Allen. He's thrown deep with success because of the game situation. Dede is eating defenses alive and Allen is just getting it within the zip code. His deep passes have been caught because Westbrook is getting so wide open, that's it. If Marrone is really opening things up and isn't seriously considering Allen after what we've seen from Bortles and all we know about Henne then that says a lot about the guy's true current level.


Allen's deep passes have been right on the money as far as deep passes go. They're certainly more accurate than Blake's ever has been, and this goes back to last year's Preseason when he kept throwing deep strikes. Allen can throw. I don't know what all of his issues are, but I'm convinced that any issues he does have are not related to his arm.
