I am a TCUFan and assume you are talking about Killerfrogs (the free site).  Just like any free site, it is going to have its share of knuckleheads who are there to give their schtick rather than have intelligent discussions and opinions.  You have to go to the paid sites (Rivals, Scout, etc.) if you want to filter that stuff out and find the fans who actually know what they are talking about or you will get a mixed bag.  Knowledgeable TCU fans are excited that Allen has chosen TCU.  The TCU coaches also certainly want him as they could have offered about 4 other QBs.  Frankly, the door only opened for TCU with the coaching changes.  Plus, during that time, he was offered by two Big12 programs (none had offered previously I believe) which were close to home.  His father played at UT and he grew up watching the Big12.  Plus, Temple is only about 2 hours from TCU which makes it easier for family and friends to see his games.
 
As far as his talent, that is really hard to judge.  You really never know for sure how players will develop but TCU does have a pretty good track record at developing QBs and other players for that matter.  Allen will certainly have to work to get playing time at TCU but should have a solid supporting cast to play with on offense.  Based on his size, he should be redshirting his first year anyway to put on some weight.
