Allen today

Might be just a guy, second string, insert generic term but give the dude props for bouncing back in a big way today. Many were quick to poo on him last week but if you’re going with the small sample size of games, it’s still a mixed bag of fantastic (AZ and today) to awful (ATL). Either way I don’t think we should have our minds made up about who he is just yet.

Not turning the ball over multiple times in one half is a big boost for the offense. We have the playmakers to allow us to compete even with a struggling OL, need more smart football. Both from Kyle or whoever and from Norv. There's no excuse not to put points on the board with this offensive talent.

Many huddlers hoping for just that just to say “I told you so.” This fan base blows my mind.

I'm a pessimist in games, optimist between them.

I want to see complete games from him.  I'll be happy with him if he moves this team and we score again.  I am also realistic that is is very young for a QB and I don't expect the world from him, and that he is in a mixed situation with a shitty OL

Yeah but just as many folks do that with Cam too

Allen is clearly talented, he just turned the ball over too much. Hopefully he keeps this going, ball security and better decisions today and I'm happy he's doing well

    • SC won the ACC title the week before in Clemsons own house. Committee was worried about optics over talent. 
    • It's crazy how folks on the huddle can draft better than our highly paid scouts.  I know I saw several mocks with the first 3 selections going Ladd, Frazier and Wilson like the above post.  Heck, one of them may have been mine.  It seems that the scouts go into paralysis by analysis.  Ladd might not be the ideal weight or height, it's tabo to draft centers high, Wilson had past injuries.  All that said, those dudes just dominated at their respective positions. Our scouting department and Morgan need the K.I.S.S montra--keep it simple stupid. STOP overthinking it.
    • This team has long had an allergy to the obvious pick. They take an XL and think they can coach him up to be the next megaton or DK. Brooks to be the next Peterson. Burns to be the next LT. They pick dudes and play them outside of their natural position. They draft for need, get desperate, pick the flawed guy, and the results speak for themselves. They go to the store jonesing for a ribeye, the store is sold out except for the ‘manager’s special’ … and end up with a toilet of puke later that night…  whereas the filet that was sitting right next to it got some other dude laid.  The obvious pick with no need of coaching up has done them pretty well. Moose. Peppers. Kuechly. Davis. Gross. Jenkins, etc.  Sometimes obvious is just obvious. Consistently missing on first and second rounders gets them exactly where they are. Loser teams, devoid of talent and a revolving door at head coach.  WR: Pick the guy who can catch the damn ball. DE: pick the guy who can play the run well. Pass rush is nice, but playing the run is better.  center: smart big guy who doesn’t miss assignments.  tackle: good pass protector first. Run blocker second. If you have a really good QB and receivers that can catch, the running game will open itself up by default.    It’s not THAT hard, right? Diamonds in the rough are usually only quartz. Stop picking up dudes whose flaw is THE primary skill required for their position, thinking that you’ve got some sort of magical staff. Go BPA with the healthy guy who just flat out gets it done better than anyone else still available…. Except for a RB or special teamer. Yes BPA is boring, but it stacks the team with legit talent.    That’s what I’m going to call their reaches from now on. The f-in manager’s special. Break out the cast iron griddle, Montreal steak seasoning, and some avocado oil.
