Quote: On the other hand, a large number of Arkansas fans couldn't stand Brandon Allen as a QB. To the point that some burned his truck as you described. The good news for the Jaguars is Allen went in the 6th Round, not the 1st Round and will be playing the position he played in college. Expectations for Allen are going to be much more realistic, which can only help him. Especially, after what he went through in college in his home state.

A lot of that stems from his first year when he played with a separated shoulder all year and was pretty terrible. There wasn't much talent on the roster and it was a transition with the new coach coming in. His first ever start was on the road against #1 Alabama and he took a beating. But he got better in 2014 and last year with more talent around him he was great. Pretty much the anti-Hackenberg.


The problem was as good as our offense was in a lot of games the secondary was just as bad and so he got blamed for losing games 53-52 for not being "clutch" even after throwing for 400 yards. It is what it is. Our fanbase can be brutal but Matt Jones was known for being clutch and a 6'6 guy that can run a 4.3 will always be a fan favorite lol
