Yet another Cam vs Allen thread - a statistical comparison

[Obeg]

I know - another of these threads - but this one is a little different.  I got into an argument with a friend while I was at the game yesterday through text.  I could not back up my claims while in the stands - but this morning I could.  I ran the numbers and I was actually surprised to see that a healthy 2018 Cam leads Allen in every single statistical category.  Really - at this point, Allen only has two advantages:  Cost (significant and a valid argument), and less controversial clothing choices.

Allen is a fine QB, seems to be a nice diamond in the rough, but to argue that he is better than a healthy Cam on the field is just silly.  (currently - Allen is still young)

Exhibit A: The challenge

 

Exhibit B: The stats

problem is he wasn't healthy and was out there playing.   and you're comparing a vet and a guy in his 7th game.   and why you thought anyone wanted this thread after 2000 of them.....

It's not a question a healthy Cam is greater than Kyle Allen.  But this team can win with Kyle Allen.

Why?  Because I was called out by my friend to do the comparison.  The results surprised me.  Surprised me in two ways.  1) That Cam lead in every category.  2) That Allen's stats are closer in most to Cam and others in the league than I thought.  I thought someone else here might be interested in the results without having to do the work. If that's not you, you didn't have to click.
