I've been hearing the hype about Allen for awhile so about a week ago I took some time to watch some games and I was pretty impressed. He's raw, he is erratic, he does things that confound you but in terms of his overall traits for the NFL, he might have the greatest upside since Andrew Luck. He needs work but when he flashes, he is scary good. He has a very strong arm that can gun passes into the tightest of windows, he has outstanding size at 6'5" and 225+ pounds, he has terrific mobility and agility for a guy that big, most of the time he shows pretty good touch but like a lot of guys with very strong arms he tends to try and force passes when he shouldn't even attempt them, his footwork can be clunky but overall I'm pretty wowed by his level of skill. If he can improve on some of his weaknesses and be more consistent he has the potential to be an absolute monster of a quarterback.
Looking at his stats you won't be amazed, but watching him for a few games you can see his high level of talent, when he's hot he is like some crazy hybrid of Joe Flacco and Aaron Rodgers. If he puts it all together he has #1 pick potential, either next year or in 2018.
As a bonus he comes out of the same offense as Carson Wentz featuring a lot of snaps from under center. Like Wentz he is another big bodied passer that can get out and run but I actually think Allen's upside is higher.
Watching some of these plays you can see the upside that Allen possesses.
