Josh Allen is not near the rusher that Cam is.
You may be right though that his accuracy could be correctable if it's really a footwork issue, but I feel he's easily a two-year project.
I wouldn't pull the trigger on that with a top 10 pick unless I had a veteran QB who might be retiring in 2-3 years and want to groom his replacement early.
Dak and Wentz had bad footwork aswel coming out, Dak still struggles with it at timesl. It is common in guys who did a lot of roll outs or did a lot of scrambling in college. Allen actually fits in the Wentz/Dak mold he can break tackles in the pocket and can run when he needs to. I like to use the Big Ben comparison but Wentz is a good comparison footwork wise. Wentz had issues over throwing guys when his footwork got bad and it was pretty inconsistent at times in college, but he had a better supporting cast around him to make up for it.
Go back and watch the tape, when Allen gets a chance to set his feet in the pocket accuracy isn't an issue. The problem was he didn't get that chance to throw from a clean pocket often in college. I was actually impressed his accuracy was as good as it was when he was on the run.
