Josh Allen

The only thing Bohl can take credit for is recruiting Wentz. Some are just extrapolating the Bohl-Wentz connection to pump up Allen.

And let's face it... Carson wanted to play here and he wasn't flooded with offers so that's really not some ingenious move to offer an instate guy who is 6-5 and super athletic a scholarship. Carson was recruited and worked his ass off.

Also these recruiting people always try to make comparisons... kind of like the kid from Montana. Predictably he was compared to Wentz and the only comparison between them was he was tall.

From Sports Illustrated Monday Morning Quarterback:
[Wyoming’s] Josh Allen: I can’t buy into him. When he goes up in competition, his numbers fall off. Look at his Iowa game this year, his Nebraska game, his big games. [Against his three biggest foes—Nebraska, Oregon, Iowa—Allen had an NFL passer rating of 31.0, with one TD and eight interceptions.] He doesn’t feel the rush well. He’s a retreater. Great arm, great size, great athlete. Nobody with as low a completion percentage as him in college [56.2 percent] has had great success in the NFL. He should be seven, eight, 10 percent higher.

Yeah I got a kick out of that one.

I believe Bortles was still a few levels ahead of Allen in college, especially in big games.

Again, I believe Bohl and Vigen are getting too much credit for Wentz's development and that is being projected on Allen. Experts should be looking at what Klieman and Co. (especially Hedberg) did with Wentz and give Stick a more serious look next year.

Just comparing Stick's game against a better Iowa team last year than the one Allen faced this year is enough proof for me of who can lead a team better.

And Allen had FBS talented players and coaches surrounding him against The Hawks. Cough, cough

Review from Pat Forde is not good at all.

"Tuesday afternoon, there was practice. And let’s just say that he did very little to dispel concerns about his ability to throw the football accurately."

The other thing that would concern me is his demeanor. Watching his interview session yesterday he came off as kind of passive and a type B personality. Those types are good backup QB's but generally not franchise guys. I think he should have stayed at WYO another year, he's got a lot to work on IMO.

Yep. Plays big time competition and he freezes. Plays catch with receivers in front of all the NFL execs and he freezes. Good luck doing it with NFL D-lineman trying to crush you on National TV with 20 million people watching and fans wondering why they spent a high pick on you

He played outdoors in the cold and it is cold in Cleveland. That should be good enough for them to add him to their long list of QB busts.

The true test will be how he throws a football that has been drenched with a water bottle seconds before he releases it.... because in Cleveland you routinely throw footballs that are literally dripping wet.

Although Cleveland doesn't have that OC anymore (Pep Hamilton) and brought in Pittsburgh castoff Todd Haley who had numerous clashes with Big Ben there.... should be a great situation for a young QB on a team that's gone 1-31 over the last two years.

Hey, give the Browns the benefit of the doubt. Yes, their winning percentage is 3% over the past two years, but if you go back over the last nine years it rises to a whopping 26%!
