Kyle Allen more than holding his own with other 2018 drafted QBs

FACTS:  Through his first 9 games, Allen is holding his own or exceeding the performance of QBs drafted in 2018, when the Panthers acquired him.  IF we'd taken him in the first three rounds this board would be talking about him like we got a STEAL given his performance compared with the round 1 QBs, let alone losers who were drafted that year not worth mentioning they are so bad like Rosen, Falk, Lauletta, etc. 

The board should be doing cartwheels and somersaults.  The team has done the rarest thing in football, which is to find a potentially franchise QB, and at minimum one playing like a first rounder, for free.

Let's not pretend some of those other QBs don't have suboptimal offensive conditions around them. Plus, QB rating is as big of a sham as completion percentage.

Kyle has done great playing above average of his expected value (backup QB) and keeping the offense afloat for the most part. 

However, he's not close to being a franchise QB. Let's not kid ourselves into thinking he is one right now. Will need to see him better his decision-making process, far less underthrown deep balls, and essentially get the rudimentary basics of an starting NFL caliber QB right now.

i mostly agree with the results here but uhhh analytics still hasn’t figured out how to account for the kirk cousins effect. bottom left makes a little more sense than top right. problem with allen is he doesn’t have some elite set of tools to dream on. pretty close to maxed out rn. only hope is that he becomes an elite decision maker. he really is case keenum isn’t he

Yes, that’s what I was getting at with the graph. He’s a solid backup and can win you some games, but that’s it. I agree the bottom left is more accurate than than the top right. I will say though, the top right guys are playing at very high level, even though Cousins has been poop for years and even the first few weeks of the season, he has played well of the last three weeks.

It's still a little to early to say he's a franchise QB or a career backup. Right now, he's playing well above expectations and winning more than he's losing, throwing more TDs than interceptions, and having some problems with fumbles. 

He does, however, seem to have a certain poise that says the game isn't too big or fast for him and he seems to be learning how to pilot an NFL team on the fly. Not too shabby. 

He's our guy right now, and that's really all that matters. Start worrying about 2020 around March.

      Can something be done about this referee bias against the Panthers?

      By fanpanther · Posted

      I dont think there is a bias against the panthers but with that said I do feel nfl referees influence games.  It doesnt take much at all to change the outcome of nfl games.  Just call a penalty when a drive is stalling to extend the drive.  To make it look even call a penalty against the other team but make sure to call it at a time that it doesnt help them or hurt them from scoring.  This way penalties look even but actually they are not even at all. Would love to see someone follow nfl penalties and look at them as how they effected the game vs if they were just called but had no effect.  I think gambling has effected it alot I am not conviced alot of nfl games are not influenced maybe not completely rigged but influenced by controversial calls.  The chiefs with swifts massive following seem to get the most beneficial calls of any team ever.

      Very cool perspective, thanks for sharing. Aside, my family and I took our first international trip last year.  Went to England and Scotland for two weeks.  We have never been out of the states (I'm 47 btw). We came away changed in our perspective of the people here in the US.  The people in the UK were so polite, genuine, and helpful and we weren't only in tourist areas.  We were in the country quite a bit - I rented a car and drove a lot through all the isles of Scotland.  Anyway, now we're considering relocating there (if able) one day.  My oldest daughter, who is a junior at Clemson majoring in Vet Science, now wants to apply to Vet School in Edinburgh, Scotland (not to mention it's a FRACTION of the cost of US vet schools).  When I asked others, they basically said that most people in Europe are like that and the US is just...different. There are tradeoffs living in Europe (roads, hospitals, prices, WALMART), but the people...amazing. All that to say, yes if you can get to an international game, go for it!  I think I'll add it to my bucket list too!

      Bryce Young is HIM.

      Projecting talent to the next level is always dicey, even more so at QB. And now with the rookie wage scale we're seeing more highly drafted QBs because the downside is so much lower. You're no longer having to pay top picks like future HOFs so go ahead and swing big. The risk/reward structure favors the bold move. Just don't trade a poo ton of draft capital to draft a guy with none of the physical traits.
