I have watched Iowa, Oregon, and Boise State and the common denominator is the guy is throwing on the run a heck of a lot more than he will anywhere in the NFL outside of Cincinnati haha. In the Iowa game I counted less than 10 of 40 drop backs he wasn't under pressure or on the run. He had plenty of big passes dropped in college and they weren't short routes he threw too hard, they were flat drops. The guy has a great feel for evading pressure and if he can get better at squaring up his shoulders on the run he can be a dangerous weapon when he escapes the pocket as he keeps his eyes down field.
I am simply saying, the accuracy stuff is over blown. He is a year two starter to me who could find himself starting late on a bad team already out of playoff hunt. A lot comes down to can a QB coach get him to reset his feet when things break down. The comparisons to Lynch are laughable though by some analysts, he is much closer to Big Ben coming out than Lynch.
In typing that....a move by Pitt to go up and get Allen if he were to fall to the 10th or so selection would be an amazing move by the Steelers organization.
