Why is Josh Allen an outlier? ALL the tools were there- size, mobility, arm strength, you name it. The kid also is a hard worker, to boot, so it's not like we're talking about JaMarcus Russell here.
Clearly, people got too hung up on his completion percentage in college. In reality, it looks like this was a guy who had a poor supporting cast at Wyoming, who was trying to do too much, in an effort to help his team win. Don't get me wrong, he has had some good coaching and has learned to harness that big arm of his & develop touch.
There were factions in the 2018 draft. Most people went with the Darnold faction. The others were spread amongst the Rosen, Mayfield, Allen, & Jackson factions. The leadup to the 2018 draft got very nasty, as people argued for their candidate, while, at the same time, disparaging other candidates, namely Allen, in an effort to elevate 'their guy.' No candidate was more divisive than Allen and I wonder if Browns fans would've even given him a fair shot had he been drafted in 2018. That really says something about our fanbase, how desperate we are, and how we think we hold all the answers.
Josh Allen deserved better than to be drafted by the Browns, where he would've been hated from day 1, and he's in a much better place. I, for one, am happy for him. Meanwhile, the dysfunction in Cleveland continues..
