I'm not going to launch into a spirited defense of Allen, because honestly I'm not confident in him. I do believe that he's better than you're giving him credit for, and not quite ready to give up on him.  Especially if the alternative is worse--throwing in an even less capable QB and hoping for the best.

Please note that I'm not saying that Hunt IS less capable, but I have to believe that there's a reason that the coaches gave the nod to Allen over Hunt.

Back to Allen: I agree with a lot of what you say--the batted balls are absurd for a 6-5 QB.  And the volume of INTs is simply unacceptable [understatement].  But we just played two pretty good teams--NW in particular--and Allen was starting his first games, with new teammates, in a new offense, etc.

This is going to sound funny given the INTs, but Allen DID play better Saturday than he did in the first game.  The question is: can he iron out the mistakes and continue to demonstrate improved play?  If so, then they should stick with him.  If not, then its time for a change.
