A month or so ago, I was in favor of giving Allen some time.  But, now, with four weeks to go, and since we are gonna give Bortles one more year (what's the point of cutting him?), just let Bortles finish it out and let's not risk screwing up whatever ability Allen has.

 

Right now, Hackett is trying to turn BB into a poor man's version (I mean, very poor man's version) of Steve Young.  He wants him running more.........which, really, is the only thing Hackett could do at this point.  "Hey Blake, unless you're sure you can complete the pass, just take off and run."  And, I mean, he's got good wheels, so I get it.  Let's just spend the last four weeks, and training camp, etc., allowing for the maybe 1% chance that this has in becoming a successful long-term system.......and, also not screw up Allen.

 

Next year in camp, it'll be Bortles and his good wheels and piss-poor mechanics, Allen, and whichever kid we draft or sign/trade in free agency.
