5th year senior
2 years of starting experience
The talent around him is better than he's ever had
New OC/QB coach should be an upgrade
Better speed/elusiveness than anyone gives him credit for (see: LINK)

Sounds like an elite short list

Speed and elusiveness vs texas Tech
C'mon you can't seriously be using that to base your argument on

So one out of every four starting QB's is on the watch list?

He always fricks up in 4th quarter though

Seriously??? Jim Chaney is one hell of a QB coach. What would make you say that Enos would be a better QB coach than Chaney? Heck...Chaney has been pretty damn successful as an OC, too.

I like Brandon Allen. He's a throwback to an era that doesn't ask much more from a QB than not turning the ball over.
But he's not going to light up a stat sheet. His completion percentage is bad and I don't think he has big play ability.

He really beefed his numbers up vs a weak OOC
OOC:
60 % CP
10 TD 0 INT
8.63 YPA
171.3 Rating
SEC:
54.5 %
10 TD 5 INT
6.10 YPA
114.5 Rating
He's decent at best.

He'll be one of the better QBs in the conference this year. It can't be understated how much QB experience matters in the SEC.

Doesn't Arkansas have a whole new WR group?

Hate to burst your bubble, but Chris Relf was once named to the Manning Award watch list.

If you are a returning starter, you are on that list. Winners in the past have not even start on the watch list at the beginning of the season. Call me back in November.

Isn't this list just naming the 30 QBs who returned after playing in a bowl game in 2014?
I mean, there were 39 bowls last season and (at least for the SEC) every single SEC team that made a bowl and returns a QB is represented in this list (Allen, Dobbs, Prescott, Mauk).
I would imagine there are very few returning bowl starters that aren't represented on this list.

I don't think I have heard many saying that?
Most people think he is a non-factor. Won't win games for them, also won't cost them either. One of those +1 -1 = 0 type things.

BA will be all-sec when the dust settles

I think Bama could win the west with him.

So, in Allen's best season, he lost six times. Reality check coming your way
