Quote:Not really.  Brandon Allen could be the young development player in the scenario that I presented.  The thing is, a Dak Prescott type of QB isn't the "norm" at all.  Most of the "great" or better QB's spent some time on the bench and/or on a practice squad.

 

A lot of people don't get it that it's a big difference between the college game and the professional game.  The speed is faster, the rules are different and you have the best college players and veterans playing the game.  A good college QB learning on the sidelines is not a bad thing.

 

Oh, OK, Thanks for the explanation. So let me see if I understand you correctly, with the resigning of Henne as backup to Bortles, that means Allen will be able to spend even more time on the bench behind Bortles and Henne, and by spending more time on the bench, or on the practice squad, behind those 2 he will have a much better chance to become "great" or even just a "better QB, then he would have otherwise? Is that right?
