Where is the cite for Allen's Pop Warner career? Is it really relevant? There is more history on Allen as a 6 year old than there is on his high school career. Any help in this area would be appreciated (especially fleshing out Allen's high school career). Sundevilesq 23:04, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
I was watching the Labour Day Classic game on CBC Television when he surpassed Warren Moon's passing record. There were plenty of shots of him holding up his hand to the crowd with 1 finger indicating he was #1, and with the game ball. If someone could get a shot of this, I think it would be awesome to put into the article. -- Reaper X 01:55, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
Someone added a comment about the Pro Football HOF "refuses to mention" Damon Allen. I think this sentence and the one after it are awkward and untrue. I don't know the process for the PF HOF, but I don't think they've even been asked to consider Allen yet for the hall. I mean, he only broke the passing record a few weeks ago. As well the comment attributed to Moon doesn't really add anything to the article. I think those last two sentences should be removed.
It really doesn't make sense to conflate professional football with the NFL. Records applicable for leagues like the CFL cannot be compared to NFL records because of the dramatically higher level of the NFL. The CFL is not a destination league for those with NFL talent; it is a developmental league for players struggling to make NFL rosters or it is a place where they go when their level of competition is not up to the NFL level anymore. 2601:182:4381:E60:8D4D:2290:FB1A:3006 ( talk) 06:56, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
The Globe and Mail mentions that Allen is a grandfather. How many Football players are grandfathers? Should this be mentioned in the Personal Life section of the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.231.11.56 ( talk) 13:30, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm also torn between start and B-class! Without being sure, I chose start, because of the lack of citations and because it is not a very expanded article; the presence of many stubby sections that could be expanded or merged is another problematic factor. Maybe a second opinion would be helpful!-- Yannismarou 17:36, 17 January 2007 (UTC) |
