Tom Brady’s Take on Allen’s Growth
Speaking with Colin Cowherd on “The Herd,” seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady broke down Allen’s development.

Brady said he thought there was a lot of development that took place when Allen had Brian Daboll as his offensive coordinator.
Allen’s Improved Decision-Making
Brady pointed out that Allen’s ability to avoid negative plays has been his biggest area of growth. Early in his career, turnovers were a frequent criticism, but Allen has turned his play on the field into a far more disciplined decision-maker. Brady said he saw Allen’s game mature the most in eliminating negative plays.
Brady’s Perspective on Protecting the Ball
As a Hall of Fame passer renowned for protecting the football, Brady recognized the same growth in Allen. In fact, Brady pointed to eliminating negative plays as the single biggest sign of Allen’s development and maturity. Brady said sometimes the best play is throwing the ball away, and Allen is learning that.
Allen’s Maturity on the Field
