I would agree 1000% that Newton is a cautionary tale for the dangers of using your QB as a key component of your run game for Jackson, too. I wasn't comparing Allen to Newton - just saying that's the worry if you're running the QB a lot. But which player is Allen's running style like? More like Newton.
Allen does have a bigger arm than Jackson. But don't forget that Newton had an absolute cannon until he injured his shoulder... Running the football and taking on contact/using his physicality to improve the effectiveness of his running.
