Anyone saying that has to be a pundit who panned Allen during the Draft process and wants to defend themselves.  I literally don’t see any other way someone could objectively watch his performance and not be impressed.

Baker and Darnold both ran with the 2nd string.  Allen had the 3rd strong OL, and 3rd string receivers in Khari Lee, Robert Foster, Brandon Reilly and Ray Ray McCloud to throw to.

He had one terrible play on 4th down where the pass rush came unblocked, a couple miscommunications with receivers and his first deep throw was 3 yards out of bounds which didnt allow Foster to have a chance when he had his man beat.  That’s it for the “bad”.

Most analysts were impressed but I have heard some reference his under 50% completion percentage.  If I hear that from anyone, I know it’s bias.  Reilly dropped a 1st down catch. Foster dropped a catch.  Foster gave up/misplayed two deep balls that could’ve been TDs with WRs that are actually making the team.

I thought all Baker, Darnold and Allen all looked good in their preseason debuts.
