The Westbrook TD was perfect, it's a shame he doesn't have the arm strength to do things like that more consistently where he hits a WR in time... 

Allen doesn't have the elite arm strength to put the ball where he want's...

While I didn't agree with all of your points in that post from months back, I have noticed that he does have a tendency to "heave" the ball (on deeper throws) as you suggested, and his velocity is sometimes sub-par when he doesn't do that. 
 
Nonetheless, he's had some success with that "heaving" motion when he's got protection and a guy like Westbrook to heave it to. 

He's got enough velocity on the short stuff, and can heave it effectively on the deeper stuff. 

It's his lack of velocity on intermediate throws that stand out as a weakness to me. He'll need a clean pocket and great timing on his pass to complete those IMO. 
For instance, the throw to Westbrook over the middle last week that was nearly picked, and the out route to the TE last night that was picked. One he just barely squeaked by on, and the second should have been thrown away as he couldn't step into it. (he should have just thrown that pass to Ellis out of bounds.)
I see it as a problem that can be mitigated with the right playbook and coaching.

Alas - we don't need to hash out the semantics of your insult.  
I was merely attempting to keep it civil after a rash of PMs and mod reports received on such matters. You didn't receive a formal warning, so just let it go and stay on topic.

Fair enough.  Just call it even across the board, including mod and admins.  I've seen much, much worse from many of them without warning.

Will do. Thank you.
