I guess like 20? He played at a higher level than Palmer did in the early years, but like Palmer, Luck's injury may stunt him and/or leave his future in doubt. If he fully rebounds then it's a zero obviously.

Discuss.
In 2016 he had a WR, RB, TE, and center who all went on to NFL squads. Despite this, he only completed 56% of his passes in the Mountain West conference and his team went 8-6.
In 2017, he had a defense that was ranked in the top ten FBS defenses by most metrics. With that behind him, he led the team to an 8-5 record while again completing 56% of his passes.
A player who's supposed to be an NFL franchise QB prospect should dominate at that level, especially with that kind of supporting talent. That
was a good situation, and he did not flourish.

Yeah, and that's the thing, Josh Allen had a lot of good talent around him in a soft conference generally known for poor defense, and he couldn't lead the team to better than fourth in the conference. Wyoming's scoring dropped off 12 points per game with those NFL guys gone. Almost like they carried Allen rather than the other way around.
