Many, many of JFF's plays were made by his ability to abandon the pocket and use his legs to make a great play. How effective will any new QB be with limited experience? A QB with 4.9 speed will have a difficult time using his legs to consistently improvise a successful running play.
I am certain Allen will be a good QB. Just do not expect too much too soon. JFF was a very special QB. QBs like him do not come along very often and aTm will be extremely fortunate to have two such QBs back-to-back. The odds are against that occurring.

Yeah it will be a major transition for him. In high school he was playing against 200 pound defensive linemen, the SEC West gauntlet will be a rude awakening.

Yes, but much of the reason he had to do that is because JFF would basically "quit" a play if his first or second read was covered.
If we have a more traditional QB that can go through all his progressions and accurately pass to the fourth WR or to the RB as a safety value then we can lose the QB scrambling and still have an effective offense.
JFF was a freak and we molded our offense for a while to match his talents. Case is a much better example of our QB position going forward.
