Insiders Believe Josh Allen Goes #1 Overall To Browns

[Sharkonabicycle]

lol Josh Allen needs to sit for a while and whoever takes him needs to pray they can fix his football IQ (his pocket presence/vision is God awful). It's a sexy dreamers pick IMO (oooh ahhh the arm strength and athleticism!) but that can translate terribly for a QB as we more often see than not. The Browns just traded away Tim Tebow 2 without arm strength in Hogan so it'd be pretty hilarious if they replaced him with another messy QB that requires a lot of work on the mental part of the game.

The Browns are likely starting whoever they take #1 overall (or #2/#3) immediately so this would IMO spell disaster, lol. It'd be very Browns-esque. Take Josh Allen #1 overall (lol) and plan on starting him, and then trade #4 down and take like Fitzpatrick (lol) with a mid 1st. That would be Browns draft worthy and I'd be willing to bet that Allen would be taped on to that long list of last name QB fails on the Browns jersey.

Throwing them in is a mistake.

And that's why the Browns won't sit him.

Nope.

Also your scouting report is hardly accurate.

Nope.

Guess I did forget the Browns got Tyrod Taylor, so they can start him...

As for 'my scouting report', that's hardly mine.. I'm not an NFL scout, so what I'm saying is from what I've read and watched of Josh Allen (couple games here/there, and some highlights). He throws wildly inaccurate, makes questionable decisions looking for big play opportunities instead of scanning all options and making smart plays, which is pocket presence...

I mean this is an older article that I found just for one reference, but nothing changed dramatically in his 2017-18 collegiate season...
Josh Allen poses NFL dilemma; Round 1 look for Mason Rudolph

And another more recently talking about flawed mechanics:

Maybe add a little something more than 'nope' and a facepalm to a reply so we can actually have a discussion? Just a thought....

My inside sources tell me that everyone else's sources are full of shit if they think they know what is going to happen...

Well when you throw out a nugget like "The Browns will immediately start their rookie QB" when they traded for Tyrod and signed Drew Stanton for 2 yr/$6.5 mil, it's more than obvious that they have no intentions of starting a rookie, hence the facepalm.

Regarding your other comments, he's not "wildly inaccurate". Oddly enough, his college completion percentage was similar to Tyrod Taylor's. His offensive system also didn't do him any favors, as he put to much pressure on himself to make plays.

There's plenty to like about the kid, otherwise he wouldn't be considered a top 5 lock. Giving him a year in an actual pro system, sitting behind two veterans and getting to play with the talented weapons Cleveland has on offense will help his confidence I'm sure. Really, it's just maturing and becoming more disciplined on reads and continuing to improve his footwork. He's smart and has every physical tool you could ask for. You could make knocks on all the other first round QBs, as well, regarding why you'd take them #1.

 

[CaptainStubing]

so apparently Josh Allen is destined to be an epic failure in the NFL ...

 

[tducey]

That would be something the Browns would do. If I'm them I go Darnold or Barkley at 1.

 

[mcnabb7542]

I hope they do, that way when doesn't turn into the next Paxton Lynch, I can come back and make fun of you douche nozzles for saying the other two ass hats are better then Allen...

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Allen is arguably the worst QB to go in the 1st since 1958

 

[YankeeRebel]

Everything I read on the kid said he must sit a year, you don't do that with your overall #1. If you are going to take a QB you feel needs a year, take Chubb at one then best player of need avail at four, take your wait a year QB in RD 2. There will be guys there to choose from.

 

[Fountain City Blues]

Question for Allen People: What does Allen do that's better than Kizer besides throw it farther?

Not much, which is why Kizer never should've been thrown in last year. If Kizer had waited another year he'd be firmly in the running for #1 right now.

 

[JohnShadows]

When you're a QB and go to #1 on the Browns board, you fall on everyone else's, just based on history.

I'll wait until draft day

Drew Stanton still stealing money.

 

[Across The Field]

Drew Stanton still stealing money.

I would've taken him on the Browns last year for twice that amount.

 

[DefCONNOne]

That would be something the Browns would do. If I'm them I go Darnold or Barkley at 1.

You can stop with the "or Barkley at 1" BS. The day the Jets traded up to 3 is when the "or Barkley at 1" line of thinking ended. Or it should have, yet here you are still pushing that fantasy.

 

[DefCONNOne]

The ultimate Browns pick.

...is passing on a QB at 1. Again.

Amiright?
