From nobody to the top of the first round of the draft - Josh Allen
-
I guess I should not be so harsh on Allen. I really don't know if he will be any better or worse than the other QB candidates. I guess it is just the drool factor by Cal that has me somewhat opposed to the Browns taking him. Same with Barkley and PoG.
If the Browns actually take these guys I would hope they become the second coming of John Elway and Walter Payton. I don't think that will happen...but if they Browns get them...then we can only hope so.

Maybe I shouldn't be so harsh either. But my dislike of Allen as a prospect has nothing to do with Cal. It involves watching 5 complete games of his, and a hard view of the stats saying the odds are stacked against Josh to be another Elway. If he gets there, great. But the possibility of him winding up in the Boller or Ponder class of busts is far higher.

From the "Darnold is like a cow on ice" guy...
As for Allen, Wyoming’s strapping, strong-armed quarterback, ask Shonka about him and duck for cover. He does not buy into him, at all.
“Zero,’’ Shonka said. “I saw Allen live this year at Iowa and he looks pretty. If you want a guy on the sidelines warming up, he looks pretty good. At the Senior Bowl, he did not have a good week in practice. He hit a few routes, but there’s nobody really covering. I think Josh Allen is like driving a covered wagon on the Autobahn. When he gets out there with all that speed and all the changing defenses, he can’t see it. He can’t process things fast enough. It doesn’t ever slow down for him. Everything’s so fast. He’s never thrown for a high percentage. If I hear one more time about Josh Allen’s strong arm — he can’t read defenses or make plays.”

^^^ THIS Tour. If us schmucks can see it, why in the hell are guys with 10X more football cred saying- Oh, that Josh Allen, GREAT PROSPECT. In the third round? MHO? If anyone deserves to free fall in the first round- the Wyoming Wonder should be it.

Funny you should say that because the NFL Radio guys had a 3rd round darkhorse they thought might end up being the best QB of the whole bunch. And I chose him as Denver's new QB @ # 113 overall. Luke Falk, Wash.St. They compared him favorably to Nick Foles who came out of a similar air-raid college system, some of which was adapted in the last SB according to them.

I have said all along that I would not be surprised if it is one of the quarterbacks down the list that actually becomes the best quarterback of this class and not one of these "" top five.

OverviewTall, rhythm passer with good natural accuracy and years of quality production who is much more comfortable working the perimeter and against man coverage. Falk's lack of protection and average mobility has lead to a tremendous amount of sacks and quarterback hits that may have taken a toll on him. While he can throw with touch and accuracy, his deep and intermediate accuracy dipped this season. There are some holes that could be hard to correct in Falk's game and "average starter" may be his ceiling.
Weaknesses
- Quick release disguises inconsistent arm strength
- Field side throws and attempts to deep middle will float allowing defenders time to close
- Needs to work on driving ball with lower trajectory between the hash
- Too willing to make ill-advised, off-balance throws down the field
- Inconsistency with anticipatory throws is a concern
- Waits too long to cut it loose leading receivers into oncoming traffic
- Slow to see blitzers and misses hot routes
- Mobility is below average
- Sacked 125 times in his career
- Pocket poise took downturns at various points during season
- Decision making stalls out after getting through early reads
- Majority of interceptions came against zone
- Nonchalant short touch throws defaulting to back foot releases
- Must prove he can win beyond his system
- Almost 74 percent of his pass attempts were less than 10 yards

that's why he's about a 3rd round/4th/5th round pick. He doesn't have the huge upside - more like a dark hole pick. lol
