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.
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.
It's funny, I said that to myself after I typed it. However, I do think that style of argument has merit. If someone is so much better, then why don't they win the job? Hell, maybe Browning is better at playing, but that isn't the only thing that matters for being a back-up QB and he isn't better at whatever that is.
At the end of the day, if someone is genuinely so much better than another player, then why can't they beat him out? Or, in this case, that player above him has not been retained yet Cincinnati is still looking for a back-up QB. It's a valid question and the reality of those situations should make us question our analysis if it doesn't align.
