A guy like josh Allen has some tools but with lacking accuracy that’s a tough sell. But if he can get paired with a good head coach and organization that puts him in a good spot, he could workout.
That would be my issue with Elway if I were a bronco fan. Do we currently have a good enough staff that can teach and develop a young qb?

I completely agree, it's not always about the QB you draft as much as it is about who drafts the QB. That's why Mahomes was my #1 guy last year. Highest ceiling, I thought we could provide him the proper setting and development to perhaps reach that ceiling.
I don't think Watson will be bad by any means. But I questioned his frame and knee injury susceptibility coming into the draft, and since then he's torn another ACL. His stats were padded heavily by heaving up garbage time prayers, whether it be from ahead or behind. I do like Bill O'Brien but the supporting cast there is below average outside of Hopkins and Fuller (who also struggles to stay healthy).
If I'm buying long term stock, he's my third guy of the bunch.
