One think Allen really lacked was a big arm.  If you recall, the big knock on Allen was his mediocre arm strength coming out of HS.  However, he was a very accurate thrower of the football.

Marrone's offensive philosophy his last year here can be somewhat characterized as a hurried up version of the west coast offense run out of the gun.  The WCO lives on the ability of the short to intermediate passing game and the QB to make quick decisions and ability to get rid of the ball.  It has major emphasis on QB accuracy above all else.

I've only watched a handful of TCU football since the offense changed, but it appears it is an air raid offense based upon the vertical game, especially the quarterback's ability to attack the vertical seams of a zone defense, with a little read option mixed in.

I'm not sure that really is up Allen's alley to be honest.  He was recruited for TCU's prior offensive set, not this one.  Too bad.  Success at this level is part luck too.
