Quote:Back to Brandon Allen - so what if he sucked in the preseason? So did Wentz.  These days, it's not unheard of to let a rookie QB start right away.

 

Yes, you're probably right that at the moment, Allen is probably the third best QB on the roster. The big advantage that Allen may have over Bortles is that Allen might be able to learn from his mistakes. What's frustrating about Blake - and today was a prime example - is that he never seems to learn. He gets worse. Today, I gave up on him.  I don't think he's our QB of the future.

 

I'd like to put Allen in and see what we have.
 

I think the biggest advantage to having Allen over Bortles is that Allen can make the regular normal QB throws that Blake seems to be completely unable to make at this time. He may not have Blake's "wow" factor for big plays, but if defenses are going to take those away anyway, then we might as well try and move the ball methodically and see if that gets the offense going.

 

I don't think the time to bench Blake is here just yet. But I'd be lying if I said I'm not curious to see what the other weapons on this offense will look like under Allen. Let's keep in mind that since this was never a QB competition, Allen never really got to work with the kind of weapons that Blake has had the benefit of playing with during camp and preseason.
