We need to extend Allen.

I'm saying it right now. No matter what happens with the Texans he needs to be here 3 more years. I love Cam but I love this team more and paying a now injury prone QB doesn't make sense. We could actually save money and use it to sure up our Oline. Letting Allen walk into FA would be a huge mistake for us.

Pretty sure he's an Exclusive Rights Free Agent anyway.

Mr. Scot you have to agree he made throws that were not just back up grade. It might have been on a terrible defense but the price will only get higher as we go.

classic Huddle over reaction 

I was impressed with him this last week. But given a full season Im not convinced that Grier wont be better than him next year. 

How? What flim makes you think this in any way. Allen is the only QB to win us games since week 6 of last year.

I have to agree he had one fantastic game.

So did Matt Flynn, Rob Johnson, Chris Weinke and others before falling back to Earth.

Always wait and see...

He wasn't bad in NO either. All I'm saying is he needs to be extended. Not given 40 million. With Cam only having a year left on his contract a guy who could be a second choice isn't bad.

Well if thats your only criteria.. 

 

Im as happy as the next guy we got a win but keep in mind we played a terrible D that was playing CMC more than the pass. Houston will be a big challenge for the team overall and we might be playing from behind in that game so Allen will have more chances to prove himself but I would not sign him now after 1 game.

If he was smart and wanted to bet on himself he would not sign either.

Im not saying he is cannot be the 'real deal' but Im not going to say that about a UDFA after 1 game.

He can't negotiate with anybody else next season. There's no risk involved.

Let the season play out, then decide.

Correct.  He is an ERFA next year and a RFA after that.  Hell then we could Tag him.  

We will know soon enough where he stands. There is no hurry. 

If he balls out we can redo a long term contract over 4-5 years.  That will pay him up front and only cost us an average of 15-19 million per year.  That’s a bargain. Take that extra 30 mill a year and build one hell of a team.

You don't extend a guy based on one (or two) games.  Allen will (apparently) have plenty of time to show us who he is with Cam out.  If we hit the bye at 3-3 or 4-2, I can understand how it might be in our best interest to extend him.  However, by the same token, if we are at that point, why would *he* want to do that?  Why wouldn't he instead opt to wait it out and get paid?

Now, if Kyle Allen has us at 4-2, I fully expect him to remain the starter for a while.  As such, if he then navigates us to 11-5 there should be serious conversations at the highest levels about whether or not we continue with Cam.  Not because I want to see us dump Cam, but you don't pay Cam 30-40 million per season when you've got a guy 7 years younger who can get you to the playoffs.

Bear in mind, we have three ROCK STARS on offense right now who will want to be paid over the next five years:  CMC, DJ & Curtis.  Assuming they continue to develop, there's 30 million per season right there if you want to keep all three, maybe more.

      Dave in a presser gassed up Anthony Tyus III and dying to see him on the field.  I mean 3 is all that needed right, and Dan loves etienne. He's one year filling in his body. If brooks is back, toss in chubba, thats 3.

      After seeing hits in the last two UDFA pools, I do not in this group sorta of a let down after I gassed myself up.  Not like I know of their games, but just expected more. The duke DT only has to beat out hunte (2025 UDFA) or Ray (DL coach's kid) or even Cam Jackson mid 2025 5th.  I thought they would bring in more edges, IOL, TEs, etc...

      The Icky knee didn't explode draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      My 2 favorite picks, since you didn't ask? 3. Brazzell II.  A 1000 yard WR with 4.37 speed and checks all the boxes for a Z Wide Receiver.  IN THE THIRD ROUND!!! 5.  Sam Hecht.  I think he will take over as the starter at some point this season and never look back.  IN THE FIFTH ROUND. Runner Up:  2. Hunter:  We were targeting a DT early in this draft because we did very little to replace Robinson in free agency.  Hunter was our guy and he will start. In addition to that, you got a starting tackle that should man one side of the new OL we will build for Bryce's second contract. A starting WR, offensive lineman, defensive lineman and possible Offensive tackle (at some point during this year from this draft will start.  UNREAL. In addition, I don't doubt that Wheatley (5th round) takes the FS job by next year and Lee III is Jackson's replacement in 2027.   Finally, even Kuwatch should be a special teams demon and LB depth.   Last year's draft was so good it was ugly.  This one will turn out to be uglier.  No offense Basbear--this ain't about you.
