Remember when Drew Bledsoe got replace by Tom Brady?

Not saying that Kyle Allen will be Tom Brady, but...remember that?  The Patriots were done without Bledose.  Brady was a 6th round pick out of Michigan.  NOBDODY predicted his success.  He's pretty much the GOAT now.  Hell, I remember myself talking to other people saying the Pats were dead. And btw, at that time the Pats weren't poo, kind of like we are now.

Kyle Allen has had a couple of pretty damn good games. And I'll be the first to admit that the Saints game last year was bullshit in my mind.  But if he can keep this up, then count me in.

And in how many rose bowls did Allen threw for over 300 and 4 touchdowns? 

Brady was miss-scouted by an conservative coor still thinking the deep ball was the number one, two and three priority. 

No knock on Allen (we can always hope), just saying chill a little.

I think all the Brady talk is nuts. 

But I do remember an UDFA balling out and taking us to the Super Bowl at QB. 

If he has a career like Jake, I will take it.  I think he's more accurate and has a stronger arm than Jake tho.

negative spin #237,082 from Linville

I mean, he has a point. I doubt he is displeased with Allen. 

Allen looked great but let's see him this week, next week, the week after, etc.

Let's especially see him when our opponents get more tape on him. That will be a big indicator, IMO.

    • Maybe, but a player can also bust for a lot of reasons.  And I'm not about to go look up the stats of all the 1st round WR busts, but I'd be surprised if they had the sustained output and success in college that T-Mac had.  Those early WR busts are usually guys who had one breakout season and then were highly drafted because of physical potential, not already built out ability. I'm not even saying T-Mac is 100% going to have a better career than Chark (although I obviously think he will). I'm just saying that right now, his skill level and ability is better than Chark's ever was, and I don't understand how anyone is arguing against that, not because of T-Mac, but because of who Chark himself was.   If you want to take the argument that you can't say ANY player who hasn't played a down yet can't be considered better than someone who has, then so be it (even though I'd say that's a dumb stance anyways). At his peak ability, Chark was more like a #3 WR than anything else, he was the definition of a league average WR.  If you don't think a Top 10 selected WR with his tape is better than that just because they haven't played in the NFL yet, then you're just stuck on the "he hasn't played a down yet" idea and can't evaluate them as players and abilities.
    • And you would've probably said the same thing about a lot of highly drafted WRs who busted.
    • dude..........   You are way to emotional here
