It comes from Palmer, the QB guru who is training Allen and Darnold.
If the Browns take Darnold first, I'm leaning toward Allen at 2 over Rosen. I like Rosen too, but no one has Allen's arm, not even C.Wentz. If the Giants draft Allen, they might end up with a better QB than Carson Wentz and that will be crucial for the Giants success going forward. At present, the Giants can't seriously compete against the Eagles with an old, bottom half NFL QB like Eli Manning.
The Jets made a smart move in trading up. Even the third guy is going to be a stud QB IMO.
For all of those who think that Sam Darnold to the Browns at No. 1 is a done deal, not so fast. Jordan Palmer, who trains both Darnold and Josh Allen, believes the Browns will also be blown away by Allen during his Pro Day Friday at Wyoming.
"I've never seen anybody like him,'' Palmer, a former NFL quarterback, told cleveland.com at the NFL Combine earlier this month.
Palmer, who will run Allen's Pro Day like he did Darnold's on Wednesday, is on record as saying that 'both will be studs' and 'franchise dudes' the Browns can't go wrong with either one.
He also thinks that Allen will make it very hard for the Browns to pass on him at No. 1.
Allen has "got the craziest arm I've ever seen and there's a chance he runs 4.6 (in the 40 -- he ran 4.75 the combine). He's 6-5, 6-6-ish.''
Palmer, who played for the Redskins, Bengals, Jaguars, Bears, and Titans, compared Allen's potential to that of Houston's Deshaun Watson. . .also believes Allen compares to 2016 No. 2 overall pick Carson Wentz. . ."In terms of competitive temperament I think it's really similar,'' said Palmer. "Size, athleticism, arm talent, I don't know that Carson throws it as well as Josh does in terms of velocity and arm strength, and I think that Carson Wentz is the MVP of the league, it's not an indictment. But the way that they approach the game I think is similar. They're obsessed with it, which you've got to be at this young age especially. And so yeah, I think there are some comparisons there.''
Of course, the big question with Allen is his accuracy and his 56.2 completion percentage, which scares the heck out of offensive coaches. But guess what? "We've fixed it,'' said Palmer. . .He said he didn't tinker much with Allen's cannon arm, which continues to amaze him. Instead, he corrected his overstriding and everything fell into place from there. The improvement was evident at the combine, where Allen dazzled coaches and scouts with his arm talent.
"A lot of confidence, very, very cerebral,'' said Palmer of Darnold and Allen. "They didn't run pro style systems and all of that stuff, and so they're not coming from years of doing it, but I have introduced them to a lot of it and we've installed an entire offense as a digit system and as a concept system and they learn really, really quickly.
