I know he at times can hit a deep pass, but it's far too inconsistent because most of his passes are him heaving as hard as he can. This is not because he doesn't posses velocity from the rotatory cuff, but because of weakness in his wrists, and overall small hands. The end result is what you see, some good deeper throws but mostly throws that pull or don't spin very well toward the target and so you have to hide him in a sense by limiting deeps throws. Even at that, he can't drive a ball into those tight windows like McCarron or Garropolo do, which gives them more of a starters appeal. This makes for a QB that looks like a solid back-up at best, but if want him to start someday and be the next Tom Brady story, you might want to look elsewhere. 

 

I agree it doesn't take long to see if someone can play will say, I feel like I can see it within 10-15 throws. I will also agree that it seems the coaching staff agrees with you since they made little effort to acquire any new arms. I still see Allen as a bubble player and career outlook potential as trusty back-up/journeyman.
