Regardless of our opinions on ROR, I think most agreed this offseason made the most sense to make a trade if one were to happen

Only if the rift between him & Jack was deemed unfixable

Assuming he’d drop off this year or get hurt is just conjecture with zero supporting facts

I went to the driving range during the first half. Missed both Peterman and McCarron. Allen looked exactly as he sounded. He's got big play ability, but a lot of consistency issues. It's only the first game of the preseason, but if he doesn't start a game until 2019, I won't lose any sleep.

I came away with the same sense, but it’s clear he’s enthusiastic and he appears willing to learn. He is reportedly very bright, so the question in my mind is whether he has the ability to actually apply the technique lessons he will get as he’s getting coached up and pair those more sophisticated techniques with his raw physical skill set.

They also threw the ball more times in the first half than in 13 games last season, combined.

They also had two quarterbacks playing who will actually throw the ball instead of just running with it - in the first half of this game, than in 13 games last season, combined. 😉

Very ugly sunken eye dude in the brown shirt in the background looks like Kaiser circa 1984.

Great arm, good legs, bad accuracy.

He could have thrown 3 long TDs yesterday but overthrew his intended receiver. Foster has the blame on one, but that first one he put out of bounds and no one was catching the other.

Honestly, I am not impressed or disappointed, he's actually what they pegged him as. I'm hoping we got Phillip Rivers or Big Ben here, but could just as well be another EJ.

Allen had 2 bad passes


driving home, I was listening on xm, and the fantasy guys were ripping allen (2 of them) because of his play. my guess is they were looking at the box score as the 3rd one must have watched the game as he had sound reasons to back up how allen looked decent.


you see nate 9/10
aj 7/10


allen below 50%



haters are gonna have a field day with that box score




after saying that, when you throw the deep balls, the % will drop and to be honest an average nfl wr would have caught at least one of those bombs



I am very happy to be here

The most impressive ball of the night was the 25 - 35 yard completion down the middle. Thing was a farking ROPE.

The 35 yard dart off his back foot while falling backwards was a throw that maybe 2-3 guys in the league could make. His arm strength is unreal.
