If you watched Burrow first few games, you would come away with thinking he was injured. Because he was. That was the reason he sucked, it's very obvious
I've watched more than one game and am basing my judgment off of the last 2+ seasons.
Mahomes and Burrow are hands down better quarterbacks than Allen.
Allen is better at running, I'll give him that. He's also better at flopping and bitching to the refs than the other two.
The one game thing is referring to Allen fan boys like Sheriff Joe who call Burrow "average"
Lol bullshit.
He wouldn't know how to use those weapons. He'd start chucking the ball to Aiyuk 40 yards down the field with Kittle wide open over the middle or McCaffery in the flat. Or he'd start running wrecklessly. He'll throw a ball as hard as he can and break Deebo's hands
Allen is as good as he is statistically because he's allowed to roam free and make plays with his feet.
If he's asked to just sit in the pocket, get the ball out quick and not make mistakes, he's not good at all. Very average.
A guy like Burrow would be great in SF though.
That's not true. Allen can be great with quick release. That was the game plan last year vs. Aaron Donald. Allen has tools to play in any system or whatever the game plan calls for. Mia and SF can cover for bad QBs because of the system and weapons. It doesn't mean guys in other systems wouldn't thrive with Mia and SF.
Allen is not a top tier QB in the league if he's reduced to a pocket passer. He's improved his accuracy, but he isn't close to Burrow and Mahomes in that regard still. And he doesn't have the touch that those guys have.
You can only improve that so much, especially the touch part. Even some of his completions, it's like "WTF is he throwing that ball like a rocket for?".
He could "work" in any system because he has talent, but it's a waste of his strengths as a player. It's just not a good fit. Lamar would be the same.
Allen gets the stats he does because he plays loose and free and he can run. The 49ers won't let any quarterback do that
Don't put Mahomes in the same sentence as Burrow as far as pocket passers. Mahomes is not that accurate with great ball placement in the pocket. Mahomes makes his money extending plays. Mahomes and Allen play the same style. Burrow plays a totally different style. Allen is now more accurate with better ball placement than Mahomes. That wasn't the case their first few years when Allen was wild.
He's improved a lot from what he used to be, which is not saying much since he was so bad his first couple of years in that department
He's been close to the same for a few years now though
Puts too much on the ball, has pretty crappy touch on intermediate throws. That's hard to improve on though
And he still makes dumb decisions
