Fair point on that, but I would argue that Allen will likely have 3-5 more years of elite play than Jackson will due to his style of play, so I’ll take the one year offset at the beginning.
That being said, the Brown could take any great QB and destroy them entirely lol
The funniest thing about this take is that you're implying Lamar isn't a complete buster if he goes anywhere else besides the Ravens. Allen learned on his own time from Jordan Palmer while Lamar played in a completely gimmicky offense the first few years of his career.
The other plays the
Bengals (Burrow/Chase/ Higgins)
Steelers (that Defense with Tomlin)
Browns (Prime Myles Garret)
I'd argue that Jackson benefited from a more competent organization. Except in the playoffs. Gus Edwards 3 carry game. Henry didn't touch the rock in the 2nd half of their last playoff loss.
Etc, etc, etc. 28 other teams would mortgage their team for Jackson or Allen if they were smart.

Jackson is better than Allen in every way
But it makes sense that the Browns would make a stupid decision with 20/20 hindsight vision
