That is what I thought...Isn’t upside and potential the same thing?

This is not what you said, now it's potential??? You said he has the most upside, and I say that is not a fact.
Is this better? I have changed the word "potential" with the word "upside" even though I believe they are fairly interchangeable.
So, if a player has higher limits to his UPSIDE, it would seem a factual statement that he would have the most UPSIDE.
If you differentiate upside and potential and ceiling that is for you to do. In whatever framework I put it in, I believe that because Allen is bigger, has a stronger arm, and has plus speed for his size, he has the highest potential, ceiling, and/or upside in this class. The levels he can reach are higher than anyone else in the class if he is able to maximize all of that talent.I don't agree that the bolded statement is a fact though. How do you measure upside? I would agree that JA has the greatest potential, but I would not agree that he has the most upside. Maybe it's just semantics, but IMO LJ has the most upside, I think he has the talent to be as good as Mike Vick, and his floor is Mariota/Winston. I think JA has the ceiling of Ben Roethlisberger but the floor of Derek Anderson. Again these are all just my opinion. I personally think that JA is fools gold, he looks like Tarzan, but will end up playing like Jane.

Where I give him an edge over Jackson is that Jackson will never be 247 lbs. It isn't in his DNA. That extra mass will serve Allen better when coupled with 4.7 speed than Jackson with 4.4 speed and 220 lbs as a QB.
