Film Room: Allen Pre-Snap Read

[ellis]

Here’s more on Kyle Allen. I’ll keep it all in this thread, to save space on the main board. He had 13 completions in the first half. Here they are in chronological order:

Sometimes greatness slips through the cracks. (I know he was obviously highly touted coming out of high school.) Let's hope fortune has smiled upon our Panthers and Allen was just lost in the shuffle in his college years.

As much as I love Cam's performance over the years, wouldn't it be incredible to have stumbled upon a franchise QB in this manner?! We'd have so many options as to how to proceed with roster building going forward.

At worst, it's nice to live in a bit of a dream for a little while.

No need to apologize for wanting to have hope. And for folks who think it’s a shot at Cam, that’s ridiculous. We all love  Newton. He’s a tremendous player and a generational athlete. 

Drumming up a controversy is what the media loves to do. Football players are highly compensated professionals aiming for excellence. Competitive greatness brings out the best in everybody. I would hope this would bring the best out in Cam as he continues to work his way back.

Do you have any actual information to provide that will lend a single shred of credence to the notion that Cam has not been vested in the playbook or the film room?

To suggest so after all we've seen from him as a competitor is just incredibly petty at best.

The few mouth breathers you have egging you on says it all. Birds of a feather..

Just team performance differences between the two QBs, quickness to the line on offense, reading of the defense... These aren't exactly Cam's strengths. He does have many great, HoF-level attributes, though, like arm strength, mobility and size. He's a very smart QB and man, but sometimes his wisdom lags a bit behind.

To not be able to concede that he is due some criticism, now that is the breadth of pettiness, friend.

Edit to add: You only come out to bark if I criticize Cam, but never bother to agree with me when I praise him or suggest we give him time to heal up and make a comeback. Your narrow  focus doesn't serve you well, you're better than that.

Keep in mind, this quarterback was not invited to the NFL Combine. I know it’s one game. But this is a big-time read at the line, and an elite throw on the run. And good God, what a catch by Samuel. The good offensive vibes were contagious on Sunday

 

Little with a nice block on the first vid.  Engages the DE and then slides over to pick up the blitzing LB.

The offense is just faster with Kyle than with Cam. One thing I havent seen people talk about since the game is clock management. I believe there were different 2 times that Kyle caught the Cardinals defense with 12 men on the field. I used to think it was Ron and co., but apparently the problem looks to be Cam. 

That’s what I kept talking about while watching the game.  How refreshing the tempo of our offense was.  I think guys fed off of that.
