Quote:Get rid of him... The Patriots prove year end and year out you dont need a 8 yr vet to be your backup... Chad Henne sucks anyway... So how much worst would a 6th rounder be?

The Patriots also have a guy named Tom Brady and they also drafted his backup in the 2nd round 2 years ago, who happens to be an extremely exciting prospect. Little different than drafting a guy in the 6th and expecting him to be a future star. Cant really cut a guy you drafted in the 2nd round. Where I will agree is I think Dave Caldwell sees potential in Allen, if he did not, I dont think the Jaguars would of actually wasted a draft pick on him. Do I think its enough potential to let go of one of the better backup QB's in the league when you finally have a chance to compete in the NFL? No, the risk is too big. Henne is a very reliable and capable backup, whether fans want to admit that or not. If Henne was cut, he would not have to last too long before we was snatched up. I think ideally, the Jaguars would want to practice squad Allen, but if he shows enough potential in training camp and pre season, then they may no choice but to waste a roster spot on him. One way or another, Allen will be given a fair chance and potentially one day, he could be the backup to Bortles.
