You couldn’t look at his measurables, intangibles and interviews are not want to draft the kid….
Big Miss by Denver
Low completion percentage in college usually doesn’t translate well to the NFL. Yes, he had a lot of “measurable” in college but he just wasn’t all that great of a QB. There were plenty of reasons to be wary of him, particularly after blowing it on Paxton Lynch.

It’s really deflating to think not only did a Lynch suck, but also may have biased us against a generational talent.

Yeah, but again, I think being biased against him was very rational. He wasn’t a very good college QB, wasn’t anything special in the Mountain West, and had major accuracy issues. Two years into his NFL career it looked like he’d be replacement level at best. And then, against all odds, he became a top 5 level talent in year 3. I really think he was a massive gamble, one that certainly paid off.

I disagree with this narrative. Allen was being talked about a top QB talent in 2016 (his RS sophomore year) so there was something people/scout were seeing early. Second when you watched him play you saw the flash of talent. Chris Simms called out the so-called accuracy issue when he had has #2 QB in that draft.
In his NFL rookie and sophomore year, if you watched the games and not the stat line you saw that he was making the right reads on time. Yes there was learning curve but you saw that he was improving. Things did real click for him in his third year but that was because you knew he had the work ethic and drive to lead him to being elite.

I agree. I was all in. Look at Cardinals. The canned Rosen after 1 year. We missed out on a generational talent.
