Kyle Allen is an inexperienced but good backup qb who is learning!

Bro, PFF has Kyle Allen as the 2nd worst QB in the NFL

Maybe PFF isn't that great, but they're not THAT inaccurate

30. Kyle Allen, Carolina Panthers

While Allen’s story as an unexpected success story was a fine one, his 106.6 passer rating and zero interceptions in his four starts was fool’s gold. It caught up to him last week against the 49ers, and his current numbers (88.5 passer rating) are more in line with his actual performance. He must improve his pocket presence, as his 22.5 fumble grade is worst in the league and he ranks just 31st in adjusted completion percentage (71.3%) despite showing impressive flashes at times during Carolina’s winning streak.

 

5-1

so common that you’re doing it yourself? the obvious statistical outlier game was the arizona game. there’s your “shock event.” new starter, limited tape, extremely shitty defense. more touchdowns in that game than in the 4 games since. 4 yards per attempt higher than in the following 4 games.

of the 6 games he has started, he has posted >100 QBR and scored at least 2 TDs in 3 of them.  In those games he is still not a world beater in completion % - the AZ game is an outlier there.  And he still isn't hitting huge deep balls consistently (altho he had a few in those games).  In those games he seemed to get knocked on his ass less than the others but maybe that is perception...

then in 2 of the 3 he had not good performances but did make at least a play or two.

and then the SF game.  I would say SF is honestly the outlier, but his body of work is not "zomg amazing" even given that. 

"5-1" is great and all but doesn't tell the whole story in the least.  dude has been good, and bad... he has contributed, and cost us... 

personally I hope Cam gets back before we get a chance to see too much more of Allen, but I think we are still lucky to have him as a backup.

A reasonable assessment.

The Golden Calf of Bristol had a great record in Denver and won a playoff game

 

leave it to Panthers fans to consider 9-7 a "great record", haha...

edit: and fwiw I agree that record means little, but The Golden Calf of Bristol isn't a great example of how career w/l means nothing given his is not particularly good.

And he never played another snap at QB. Ever. So saying 5-1 like it has relevance is ridiculous. 

An incredibly amazing phenomena going on here....

....an undrafted Quarterback comes off the bench and takes over a team that is sucking hind tit and rallies them to 4 straight wins in the NFL....

....an all the "fans" want to do is figure out every possible way to denigrate the guy.

I've seen the concept kicked around here for a while --- these aren't Panthers fans --- these are "Cam fans". 

(Cam fans who appear to be incredibly afraid of something...)

I too am ready for Cam to come back --- what's the dang holdup?

Fact of the matter is Cam might not come back 100% and I don’t think Allen isn’t the answer either.

Allen is 23 though and just starting out. That’s as good as an excuse as Cam’s injury. And for that he’s our solid back up.

really won’t know until January.

What this team really needs are new coaches, refresh the philosophy and let them figure out what they want at QB.

Ron’s time is done.

      Anyone left who does not believe in Bryce ?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't need my QB to have arm talent for me to like them, but I do put a lot of weight to how it can affect that player's max potential when it's as bad as Bryce's is, particularly when combined with his overall size.  Even the most ardent Bryce supporters can't honestly deny that Bryce is likely to have the weakest arm of all starting QB's his entire career, maybe some year's he's only in the Bottom 5, but short of pumping steroids, that's never going to change. I'm not a historian of the league on QB's arm strength compared to others, but how many players with that weak of an arm compared to the rest of the league, also was an above average QB for a sustained period of time? I know Brees didn't have a great arm and that's the comparison people like to use for Bryce, but again, he's smaller and weaker armed than even Brees was, and Brees is one of the biggest outliers in NFL history as is.  Which is why Bryce was also betting on him becoming THE biggest outlier in league history at the position.  Bryce doesn't need to become any certain type of QB for me to like him or to be considered a success.  But he does need to become a QB who raises the play of your team, who can drag you to wins when needed, and has you as a contender in more years than not (all teams have down years, but the great QB's have their teams winning playoff games more years than not). It's why I didn't want to draft Bryce, because I just never did, and still don't, think he has that potential in him for a long period of time and at a high level.  Can we put the perfect team around him and we get the right schedule in any given year for a player like him to lead us to a high seed and maybe make a run, sure of course.   But those teams don't have sustained success because it takes the perfect combination of rookie contracts and lucky picks/signings that all pan out at the right time.  They have a great regular season, flame out in the playoffs, and then go back to being that team that either just misses the playoffs or just makes it in to lose in the first round every year.  Picking in the 13-20 range every year, always missing out on the true elite talent in the draft but still not contending. Is that who fans want us to become?  I know it's better than what we've been for a while, but I want better for my team, I love our Panthers and I want us to win the Super Bowl. Prove me wrong, I want to be wrong, I don't want to be stuck in NFL purgatory, I don't want to need to have to find a new QB in 2 or 3 years because we still can't get into the playoffs. But I am who I am, and I am someone who doesn't keep his team colored glasses on at all times to only looks at the positive, I look at realities and call them how I see them.  And I see Bryce as our path to NFL purgatory at best right now and it scares the living hell out of me. Bryce, prove me wrong.

      I miss Luvu, haha.  Chinn too, but really we hadn't used him well since his rookie year.
