May 28, 201312 yr He must be mobile enough if Urban Meyer also wants him. Good point. Still, if you look at his offer list, they really do focus more on pro-style offences. tOSU and ND are the closest thing to spread teams, and after last year, I'd be hard pressed to call ND's offence a spread. Don't get me wrong, I'd love for him to commit, and I'm sure Kelly and Martin know what kind of runner he is, but no one's going to mistake him for Mariota/Miller/GA3 Jr.

So does UCLA. Even Ok St runs spread, just not as focused on QB run.
May 29, 201312 yr Kelly's system does not require a running quarterback. An accurate passer with a good arm is needed first and foremost, so the playmakers can do their thing. Don't get me wrong a guy with legs like Golson's give it another dimension but not required for it to succeed.
May 29, 201312 yr 9 out 10 QB's that are runners just aren't good passers. QBs need to be able to pass first and foremost, accuracy, touch and then arm strength. That's all thats needed to be great because being smart and knowing how to move within the pocket works better than scrambling just look at most if the greats. That said Allen isn't a stiff but he's not out and out runner and will never be mistaken as a dual threat QB. But they say he can hold his own and if it's there he can take it but he's going to be a guy that's going to stay in the pocket and sling it around.
May 29, 201312 yr Any questions on the guy can be answered here [ame] [/ame] He's not Malik Zaire speedwise but he has plenty of mobility to move around the pocket and move the chains when needed. Impressive film.
May 29, 201312 yr Sign the receiver wearing number 81. Impressive. That's Mark Andrews, one of the top WRs on their board.
May 29, 201312 yr ya, I dont know where you guys are getting this notion that Kyle Allen has no mobility. the first two plays of the video show than he can move if need be. Sometimes, the best scramblers are the ones that teams dont plan for and run only when they are out of options. Rees is scared to run, Kyle Allen is not afraid to move if under pressure.
May 30, 201312 yr Kelly has said it repeatedly: all he wants from a QB's feet is escapability. He doesn't need Tony Rice. Looks like Allen can check that one off.
June 3, 201312 yr ND is about to miss out om Allen, he's now deciding at 4PM EST Today, as in the next 5 minutes and it look like the 247 spots recruitniks are now mostly predicting a commit to TAMU.
June 3, 201312 yr Damn, he is an Aggie... and they all conveniently changed their predictions to TAMU today... to make it seem like they knew what they were talking about.

June 3, 201312 yr Well I'm kinda glad we didn't get him if his 40 speed is slow as rivals says it is. But still disapointing when he was supposed to visit next week so Texas AM persuaded him somehow really quick which is a little suspect.

The possibility that Johnny Football won't be there next year is a strong one. Look at our QB mess. I would say he made the right decision IMHO.
June 3, 201312 yr I'm glad he went to A&M. Better for him and ND. Not sure why Kelly recruits both types of QBs but the Golson / Zaire type fits this offense better.
June 3, 201312 yr Stunning development with Allen, but I hope this means we offer and put the full-court press on Kizer. Really like his upside.

Our luck with qbs, in general, has been terrible lately. Man, I didn't expect this. Suppose we move on to Kizer now and Dawkins. We HAVE to land, minimally, 1 qb in this class.
Why do we want him if he's not mobile?
