Like I said, it's just my opinion.
But when i review film on these two, I still see Allen staring down receivers, being unsure of where his hot route is if Diggs isn't on the field, and just not throwing with good anticipation/timing.
Not on every passing snap, but it still happens a few times in nearly every game, that I've watched the Bills play.
Baker came into the league with a solid understanding of throwing on time/in rhythm, and throwing with anticipation. In short, Baker hits most of his receivers on time and in the breadbasket or where the defender can't do much about it. Allen is still throwing "at" receivers a lot, so sometimes the ball is located poorly, and his timing isn't consistent.
Of course, the question remains, can Baker continue to play at the level he's been performing at over the last couple games.
And let's be clear: I'm not saying that Baker is a better starting QB than Allen.
I'm taking a specific slice of QB play and ignoring (for the sake of argument) all other facets of QB play.
On the whole, Allen has been far better than Baker the last two seasons.
