I don't know about the Kaepernick comparison but Allen has a lot of plays that just 'get away' from him. I think he is as raw as Blaine Gabbert and Joe Flacco coming out. Flacco career accuracy right now is 61% in the NFL and Blaine Gabberts is 56%. I think Allen can make enough plays with his arm to be maybe closer to Flacco but thats not something Id be optimistic about in a franchise QB. I don't think Allen's deep ball is any good right now despite how far he can throw it in shorts.
Allen being a good NFL QB would be basically unprecedented. I'm not saying it won't happen but he needs to go to a stable team that can actually develop a QB like New Orleans or maybe Pittsburgh. I'd give him about a 20% chance of making it in Cleveland or with the Jets.
Maybe Pittsburgh, but I think a team wrapping up with Brees is going to want a prospect with more accuracy to start with.
