Don't worry, Kyle Allen won't be lights out.

If Allen plays well, Cam would need to be 100% healthy and participating in every practice making all the throws to get his job back. No need to rush him if Allen plays good and starts getting wins.

Play the hot hand, give Cam time to heal for once in his career.

We keep finding reasons to excuse Cam---and it is not personal---but if we are blaming the symptoms and not the central problem, then it is possible that we are not living in reality.

For example, if Cam is banged up--like a used car---there will always be something wrong.  He was taken off road and four wheeling a lot-more than most Mercedes Benz sedans have been.  He was pushed even though the "service engine soon" light was on.  He is dented and dinged, with a few spots that have been sanded and repainted.  Sure, he looks pretty good, but is he?   How long until he blows a motor?

Just a thought---but he has been through enough "rub some dirt on it."  He has taken a beating--that gets to you mentally.  When I see Cam not screaming for the ball at the 1 yard line, I worry that this is more than a foot injury,  The head coach does not pull you in for a long talk over a re-injured foot.

If Ron allows Allen to REALLY play. . .if the defense doesn't have to win the game. . .if CMC is not the bulk of the offense. . .if Allen plays mistake free quarterbacking and spreads the ball around to multiple players for multiple completions and multiple TD's. . .

. . .then you go with the hot hand.

 

(What if the Oline shows up and shows out?  Did they get good all of the sudden?  Did Allen inspire them?  Or did they really just didn't have the warm and fuzzies for Cam and had no desire to protect him? Hmmm.)

The suggestion here is something that has entered my mind. I saw Cam stare at Williams a time or two; but I sense the tension is between Cam and Coach. If there is a rift between Ron and Cam--If Cam realizes that he has been abused by daddy--there should be conflict.  If there is conflict, it could be a bad thing for RR.  Just speculation, but it is really starting to smell like there is more here than meets the eye (or nose).

With the Texans next on the schedule I’d probably roll with Allen to protect Cam. I can’t imagine Cam would be completely ready that quickly either. I suppose I’d start Allen but he would be on a short leash and how the protection holds up would determine who would spell him if needed.

If Allen plays well against the Cards, then he will get another shot against Houston.  If he plays well against Houston then there will be a QB controversy. If he plays bad against the Cards then he will probably not start against Houston.

I am reading and listening to the very strident and loud crowd denigrating Hurney/Rivera and I guess by extension Turner since I think he has been given the offense lock stock and barrel. That's fun, yeah.

I saw Allen in preseason and I also have seen Cam. I don't know if I have a feeling for real or if just wanting him to turn down all this noise so bad it is the source for my expectation... which is that Allen might justify his place on the team.

Of course, Williams could repeat his act and the rest of the OL could continue to be made to look horrible, Allen could fold and give the ball away multiple times but it would be hard to be worse than what we have seen this year. Fingers crossed.

If you are not hoping for him to do well, I question your fan card.

It'd be ugly.

If Kyle Allen balls out then he's the next Brady, cause that offensive line is complete garbage.

[jtm]

The Cam I’ve seen the first two weeks of this year and the second half of last year does not give this team any chance to win. You play the hot hand, whoever it may be until Cam can show he’s ready.

Hopefully HIS lights aren’t taken out playing behind this trash OL
