Is Allen a legit starting qb

Allen has four games under his belt, and yes he hasn’t lost a game yet. 
 

But watching him in the pocket makes me nervous, he has horrible pocket presence and he’s still losing the ball. Has had two rough games against the Texans and Jags, teams are getting tape on him and know what he can/can’t do. Pretty easy to say Minshew outplayed him today.

So I’m wondering if Allen is the answer if we move on from Cam. Can he improve his play in the pocket? Probably.

Can he fix his fumbling issues? Probably.

Will he be a threat to throw deep? Haven’t seen much of this, maybe he will.

We’re 3-2 without Cam, three straight wins with Kyle this season. Probably not enough to say one way or the other but do you guys think we can consistently win with Allen as a starter?

we would have a better idea with a better line.   cam would have gotten killed behind that line today.  he holds the ball waiting for better options.   anyone wanting cam coming in behind this line, the way he plays, is nuts

To early to tell.  At the least a decent backup.  
We have faced 2 good pass rushing teams in the Texans and the Jags.  Both in the top 10 in pass rush.  
 

He has looked rattled, but many young guys look shacks under pressure to start.  

But to early to tell.  Need more games to figure that out.  
 

Be interesting what he does in London.

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
