Much quicker calls on offense, Action Jackson resembles Josh Norman, and more thoughts from yesterday

How long is Allen’s contract for. If (yes still a big if) he plays great this year will he be due a big paycheck? I think Cam’s is up this year as well...

He will be an exclusive rights free agent in ‘20. That means if we offer him a minimum salary in ‘20 for a 3 year veteran he can only sign with us. That would be at about $550k next year (he’s at $495k this year).

Doesnt help that Cam is always the last guy to the line, and seems like he needs a cane to get up off of a knee sometimes.  I have never understood why he does that every play?  Like, you're doing maybe 60 extra squats a game for no reason.  Wasted energy and movement, and all that stuff....

I’ve always thought Cam played lazy.....

It’s amazing how much better the Norv Turner offense looked with Allen.  All this time I was thinking it was Norv being outdated and past him prime as an offensive guru.  When actually...maybe it was just that Cam really couldn’t run his offense.  It doesn’t play to Cam’s strengths and Cam’s strengths are now weaknesses.  So...long term, Allen is a QB more in the mold of Aikman and Rivers.  Cam ran that option game like a master and Allen would suck at that.  But all this stuff with the slants and the timing patterns...

I don’t think we’ve ever even seen what this offense is truly supposed to look like until now.

It is still relevant in the NFL.
