The stats say so, yes Truck.
But when watching the two play, Browning impressed me a touch and Allen was really disappointing especially in pocket awareness.
We can definitely do better than both.

If you genuinely believe that Browning is far better than Allen, then there is obviously something wrong with your assessment because no one in the industry agrees with you. Allen, while not great, has never been on a practice squad and has served as a backup for four different teams. He is flat out better than Browning.
Eh, this sounds like a Fredtoast argument. Like Livings getting paid big money by the Cowboys after he left made him a good OL...
The Cowboys obviously saw a good player in Livings and every single one of the fans besides Fred saw a poor player...
Who was right? Did you watch Allen and Browning play in TC and the Preseason last year KillerGoose? Allen continually in both TC and
the Preseason not only ran into sacks, he didn't feel pressure when it came, to move away from it. This is not a good sign in a QB.
At least Browning felt the pressure and evaded it and threw on the run in a decent fashion.
Looks like the Bengals are seeing the same thing we are seeing with Allen. He is smart, I will give him that and lucky on coin flips.
