The QBs today

[Jeremy Igo]

Have to say this is the best the quarterbacks have looked in rookie camp for as long as I can remember. Usually it is cringe worthy. 

Really encouraging to see young talent being groomed for the backup spot if needed. 

 

Kyle Allen looked a bit sharper today, which is to be expected, having played a year in the pros. Will be interesting to see if/when Grier catches up.

Allen has the bloodlines. If he gets it worked out, we could have 3 starting-quality QBs in a few years.  That could  be interesting.

Very helpful in evaluating the pass-catchers and even the defenders during drills.

About Allen and Grier, the QB situation in the NFL is very interesting.  Most top young QBs go to bad teams and bust, and then  you  have decent success from the guys who are given a year or two on a good team.  SF (garrapolo), LA Rams (Goff sat till they got good), Minnesota (Cousins was not even the top QB drafted on the team that drafted him),   Ravens (Jackson)---

Kurt Warner and Jake Delhomme--2 Super Bowl QBs---were on the Amsterdam Admirals at one time.  Some are late bloomers.  It is possible. I know one game does not make a career, but  he showed some maturity.

Good to hear. I imagine Grier will look much better once he gets the system downpat. He is known for a quick release and his accuracy.

I say Kyle Allen is the back up based on last season until proven otherwise.

On one game and that's it?

I say let camp and preseason sort it out.

I hope that Grier and Allen look good. It would be nice to have some trade bait and good backups. I really hope that the Heinecke experience is done. I have no idea how he was in front of Allen. He can run, but as a QB/passer, it couldn’t be more clear that Allen was better.

Garrett Gilbert is better than Heinecke. You could definitely tell the difference in preseason when Gilbert came in after him.

His mechanics are wacked though. He's going to need a good year to address his weak arm caused by his wind up. Get that fixed and he has the accuracy of Rodgers or Brees.

He is tested in NFL setting and if we have a must win game I would go with him unless something else happens.  Ron likes rookies sit, even Moore our first round draft pick saw limited action until circumstances threw him in the mix.

I think you have that backwards.

Just FYI, Kyle Allen was a five-star/# 8 overall recruit in the country coming out of high school in the 247sports composite rankings which is combination of all the major recruiting services. 

Its good to finally have good backup QB situation with him and Grier. I really think Cam is going to have a big year if his arm holds up, though.

I wouldn't go as far as saying he's tested. Experience maybe but tested would mean he seen it all. The saints had nothing to play for that game and all their starters we're riding the bench. Allen saw a vanilla defense. He basically played a pre season game. I wouldn't be so sure he'd be starting if there was a must win game.
