That doesn't address my point. How many Drew Allars have panned out in the past 20 years? I can't think of one. All the QBs who drafted outside of the top 40 or 50 picks who panned out were either extremely mobile (ex. Russell Wilson, Dak Prescott, and Jalen Hurts) or high IQ QBs who had physical limitations (ex. Brock Purdy and Kirk Cousins).
As for that dude's complaint, it's nonsense imo. You can't gripe about supporting cast when Allar in 2024 had a great OL, two NFL HBs, a first round pick at TE (who made an immediate NFL impact), and Tre Wallace at WR (who likely gets drafted this year). The Steelers are welcome to have him on Day 2. Would be doing us a favor.
Well, for one, Prescott is not extremely mobile.
Two, you forgot Brady again.
And those guys you mentioned are not much different in terms of these guys all had pluses and minuses. Again, I am just saying the talk of him being a 7th rd pick is just silly.
1. I didn't forget Brady. I said in the past 20 years. Brady was drafted 26 years ago. And Brady isn't remotely similar to Drew Allar. He'd fall into the second category (high IQ QBs who had physical limitations).
2. Dak Prescott averaged around 800 rushing yards and 12 rushing TDs per year in his three years as a starting QB in college. I'm quite comfortable including him with Russell Wilson and Jalen Hurts in the extremely mobile QB category.
Every prospect has pluses and minuses. The point I'm making is that Allar falls in that category of QBs who have the physical look (6'4+ 225+), the cannon for an arm, and functional mobility who aren't good at playing the position. Just about every year, a team talks themselves into drafting a QB like that in the mid rounds, and I can't think of the last guy who actually panned out. But I certainly remember the Christian Hackenbergs, Zach Mettenbergers, Bryce Pettys, Ryan Malletts, Jacob Easons, Cardale Joneses, and Davis Webbs of the world.
I guess Joe Milton looked promising in that one start with the Patriots, so we'll see what happens if he ever gets a real shot. At least he netted the Patriots a pick.

I've made my thoughts known that I'm cool with taking Allar in the mid rounds if the Rams feel like he was held back by the lack of QB tutelage in college but in all fairness, gotta show the good and bad and this made me laugh:

Only thing I'd give him is I've never liked James Franklin. So I don't think Allar has had the kind of offensive coaching he'd have in LA.
I mean I don't like Sark either for that matter, and at least he's a guy who knows how to attack underneath to move the chains. Franklin is one of those coaches where I don't know wtf people see in him.
Did that affect Allar? Maybe. But he still strikes me as a dull minded MFer.
One thing we can bet, though, is that if the Rams take him it means McVay vetted him and thinks he can do something with him. And I do trust him with the QBs.
