Torrey Smith thinks Kyle Allen lights it up today.

He may be right. Though to be fair, Smith probably isn't exactly unbiased on this issue.

He has, however, played for a variety of QBs with Superb Owl resumes and strong arms, which allowed him to thrive as a deep threat. Here, he never showcased that. 

He may be incredibly able to make that judgement call.

If Kyle Allen lights it up I will be absolutely shocked. He did literally nothing in the preseason. He had one nice game against an unmotivated Saints squad starting a bunch of backups and all of a sudden he’s the second coming of Dan Marino.

i almost wonder if Grier was drafted to be Allen’s backup eventually, not Cams backup.  Surely the team is aware that his health won’t allow him to continue playing for very long. 

Kyle Allen is not a NFL QB. He is capable of a few games the same way DA us but would be god awful as full time starter.

Who’s he playing for now? He’s been done since he left Baltimore.

I’m curious, what are you basing this on?  He’s made NFL throws against NFL defenses in NFL games.

Yep. We gave him 1M for that prediction.

Until Cam is able to run like he used to then Cam will not win us any games.

The sample size is so small. So far, so good. That’s all I can base it on, one sample size at a time. I think he’s got a chance to have a really good game today, but by no means does that make him a sustainable option long-term. 

Nobody really knows anything yet. That’s kind of what I’m getting at, I guess. It’s fun trying to figure it out.

torrey has a lot of experience with him from running with the 2's

He retired.

I don't care whether there's a qb controversy or not. I'm not a "what if" person. I just want to win. Every game.

So can any QB. A lot of backups come in and play well right away. And then as defenses get game film that changes. Told y’all this about DA for years. Grier should be starting based on the investment alone.

I wasn't aware that Smith had so many concussions.

Some would argue based on the last 9-10 games that Cam isn’t either.  

I get what you are saying but have to hope for the best.  I want Cam to get well and Allen to be adequate in his absence.  That is all.
