Josh Allen is garbage and will continue to be garbage in the NFL. At best he is a mid round prospect who will flame out like almost every other mid round QB prospect. Cody Kessler is going to have a longer career 

Ok, let me channel my inner Bonanza... WHERE IS YOUR 10000 kagillian percent concrete proof!

His college tape

College tape doesn't equate to 10000000 trillion certainty about NFL performance, that said, I was just busting a certain goofball's chops demanding proof for an opinion about future performance that is impossible to produce.

Yeah, Duke is dead on. It's because you can't cherry pick one guy from 35 years ago as a case for a modern QB. The game has changed sooooo much.

The reason you can say it for Mayfield is that there are guys, right now, succeeding in the NFL despite size issues. There is no active, successful QB who was as bad in college as Allen, and he was that bad at freaking Wyoming. Imagine if he had had to play SEC or BIG10 defenses regularly.

Here’s a modern day example:

 

Matthew Stafford

Stafford has slightly higher numbers because he played his freshmen year and Allen didn’t. Stafford played with ELITE talent too. 

Year Completions Attempts Yards Percentage Y/A TD Int Rating   Attempts Yards Avg TD
2006 135 256 1,749 52.7 6.8 7 13 109.0   47 191 4.1 3
2007 194 348 2,523 55.7 7.3 19 10 128.9   39 −18 −0.5 2
2008 235 383 3,459 61.5 9.0 25 10 153.5   55 40 0.7 1
Totals 564 987 7,731 57.2 7.4 51 33 133.4   141 207 1.5 6

The biggest difference I can find is Stafford also played AGAINST elite competition....Every game Allen played against a halfway respectable team (Nebraska, Iowa, Oregon, BYU and Boise State) he layed a goose egg...

In total 77 of 155 (49.7%) 765 Yards (191 per game & 4.9 per attempt) with 4 TD's and 12 INT's...

I know his players were power 5 conference type players, but an NFL QB needs to be able to at least look acceptable against good competition and he just does not...

Why? If your teammates suck, your teammates suck. Stafford was throwing to AJ Green and Knowshon Moreno.

Are you saying these numbers don't scare you at all? that it was his bad receivers that caused him to throw 12 interceptions?  and not just being bad against better competition? or that this does not worry you at all about him playing against NFL competition?

More power to you if not.  At the very least ya have to admit that this would be a risky pick at #1 overall because at the very least we don't know if he can play against elite competition.  And the browns are certainly not in a position to take a huge risk at the most important position in the game that we have missed on  so many times....

Did you just ignore Stafford's junior year for kicks and giggles? Or that he was throwing against SEC defenses at the height of the SEC's defensive wizardry?

If Stafford had the same year his junior season as his sophomore, he probably isn't the #1 pick. And Allen's last year was WORSE than Stafford's sophomore year, let alone his junior year.
