Its pretty worrying that a guy has never been an upper tier player at any point in his football career. I mean even some of the worst QBs we've seen in the NFL have dominated in high school or in lesser conferences. Allen didn't at all.

It's a very relevant point you're making. 

I think there are clearly scouts/GMs/coaches coming away from his work-outs and interviews feeling like he's coachable/fixable and probably hasn't received proper coaching to this point. 

Otherwise, he's basically another Jamarcus Russell.  I'm more optimistic on him than most folks around here, but I'm really curious to see who spends a pick on him and when. Rather polarizing prospect.

Whatever happens, it will be very interesting to follow his career.  

It's clear his raw arm talent and size are special. As the process has gone on I've been kind of set on saying that if he was in the 3rd he'd fine as a flier.  

From the NFLs side, if you are taking him in the 3rd then why not the 2nd? Which is fair, and to expand again, if you NEED a QB and he's your guy, you don't wait until the 2nd, you take him in the first.  

I don't necessarily agree with it, but thays the thought process.
