I'm still not sold on Allen.

Wasn't pre draft.
10 games into the season or whatever he's got... I'm not impressed.
Granted... his team around him is trash. And his coaches might not be top tier... but a big arm only gets you so far.
We'll see how he develops. No one will really know how good these guys are until year 3-4.

Not too long ago everyone was all about some Jameis Winston and Marcus Mariota... now they don't really look all that great (especially as #1 and #2 overall)
Carr... shoot everyone was like "oh we should have got him" and then he had a real good year and everyone thought he was the next coming, then he got that massive contract and now behind a not so elite OL, he looks like average.

Yeah, you never really know how one will be until he gets a chance and a couple years down the road.  A lot of factors come in to play with the success.  Do you think Mahomes would be the guy he is if we drafted him? He has Reid, one of the best WR votes, the 2nd best TE, a top 5 RB and a decent oline.  He would if been much better than Bortles but no where close to the QB he is today If we drafted him

Preach on about Mahomes/Reid. I've been saying it since early this year.
Beware the Reid QB lol the man knows how to scheme em up (see Kevin Kolb, Jeff Garcia, Nick Foles)
But...
I think if Mahomes had come here he could have possibly been successful, but he would have started right away instead of sitting behind Alex Smith (which he says benefited him greatly).
And he certainly wouldn't have as many weapons. But he'd have a better defense. But he'd have way different stats.
I wonder what Reid could have done with a rookie Blake Bortles sitting for a year behind Smith.
