I think some of the Wentz comparisons come from that pigeon toe throwing and lack of touch (also bc he is white and a similar size and he runs). Wentz couldn't fix his issue, Allen did, does he have the work ethic to do it?
He was also hurt last season including a turf toe which kills your mobility and your throwing depending on the leg.

He also processes his reads fine but is able to, for example in the video, skip the open underneath out route and instead fire from the opposite hash to the numbers on a 10-yard hitch for a good gain.
However, he mentions that it's one of the biggest concerns about him as well. Because of the strength and talent, he makes some bad decisions as well as missing some throws even without pressure. As McCown says, you have to find out if he has a governor on this Ferrari or are you going to be one of those guys that's always going to fire a cannon.
For me, the Wentz comparison is about the mechanics and inconsistent accuracy + the toughness + the really strong arm that can lead to both awesome plays and bad decisions. It's like that awesome throw Wentz made against Arizona right before he was clobbered... that's great. But it also came in a package deal that included all the other shit he did that drove us nuts.
Depending on if he takes to coaching, Levis gives me the same worries.

These are the concerns. His mechanics are flawed, he seems to think he's a finished product, he only seems to have a fastball, and he plays hero ball way too often, leading to poor decisions and mistakes.

WHY would you automatically assume that trading up helps them?
You = bag of hammer. No chance of even a spark from clanging around.

Until you define what "under pressure" means, that's an irrelevant statistic. Who cares if Levis can stand in the pocket and take a shot better? That sounds like higher injury risk to me. Stroud's way of dealing with pressure typically is to roll away from it and find an open receiver downfield.
