Macaroni was shit, is shit and always will be shit.

We had an elite oline, elite receiver trio and Eifert being the best TE redzone threat in team history, not to mention insane TD production from our RBs.

He STILL struggled in wins (his best game being against a 5-11 49ers team that trotted out Blaine Gabbert as their starter) and still had issues that should have been easy to iron out in year 2.

Since his and Allen's best games of their careers came against similar teams in similar circumstances, let's compare:

Macaroni: 15/21 (71%), 9.14 YPA, 1 TD, 0 INTs, 2 carries, 2 yards, 115.6 rating
Allen: 29/37 (78%), 10.3 YPA, 2 TD, 0 INTs, 2 carries, 3 yards, 126.5 rating

And Macaroni leaned on his D for the win, Allen had to put the team on his shoulders to make the comeback.

Probably the only thing he has better than Allen is accuracy, but outside of that, they are similar QBs and one is fully-entrenched in our system, plus is well-liked by the staff and QB1.
