Newton, Allen, Grier

[Jeremy Igo]

98.3% sure that is the QB squad this season, as it should be. Cam and two young guys with big up sides.

I view this the same way, Jeremy. I like #6, but Allen’s always been my guy at backup. 

The performance in New Orleans last year was no small deal for Allen. He looked the part largely against their first-team defense.

Yep, he leads receivers.  Heineke runs backwards. 

I think Allen has more upside than a Matt Moore or Colt McCoy IMHO. 

As for our new guy, Grier's ceiling is a legit starter.

Agree and I think that’s a good move.

I think we need all 3, it’s a long season and this team can win with a back up.  Just throw short passes and let DJ/CMC do their thing.

I never understood why we ever had Heinicke above Allen. I think his mobility gave him the edge in the eyes of the staff, but it's not like you're going to find someone who can replicate what Cam offers with his legs. Allen always looked like clearly the better QB of the two IMO.

Heinicke was more familiar with Turner's system, having played for him in 2015 and 2016 until Turner left.  Not saying it's a great reason, but I'm pretty sure that is why Heinicke was slotted above him.  Plus Kyle Allen was an UDFA rookie, so I understand why they would be hesitant to put him in first.

Useless.

Be careful with Allen guys. He has clear talent - he was the Number 1 player in the country in high school - but he’s shown to be prone to starting off hot somewhere and then falling on his face. Happened at A&M and Houston. Of course i want him to do well, i just think basing your opinions of him off one game against a team going through the motions is premature
