He had a great rookie year and our roster around him hasn't gotten better.

I will say Hock is looking great and probably is even better with a different QB. Goff is not good.

Everybody has perfect 20/20 hindsight.  Nobody could believe Allen was there and were ecstatic when we got him.

Would Hockenson look close to as good with the crap we've had at QB?  I doubt it.

Yeah who knows. Hock seems to be trying to break out with Goff at QB, if he had Lawrence he'd probably be having a better year. 
But I still take elite pass rush possibility over possible great TE.

With Campbell and Yannick and that DL Allen was ballin. Then we purge our roster he gets an injury and then switch to a 34... I'm not giving up on Allen.
Even though he isn't getting a bunch of sacks he's still getting a lot of pressure and affecting plays. 
I believe with better play on the back end and/or more help from other rushers/DL he can and will get back to double digit sack guy.
He already matched his sack total from last year in 2 fewer games played and has more tackles. People talking like he's a bust really make me question their football knowledge
