Since you're the one making the assertion can you cite a source? From an NFL perspective he's done nothing but play well when the opportunity presents itself.

And he barely played in college so I have no clue WTF this guy is even talking about.....

OK, this question is one of the more interesting in recent seasons. 

How will Allen do in Houston?

 

I feel like he will still have a good showing, but not Arizona type numbers. 

 

220 yards, 2 TDs, 1 pick, 100 QBR

Worse. Houston is just a better team and will have a week to adjust away from "dare Cam to pass long" mode. On the plus side, CMC may get more running room in the secondary now that the safeties know that Samuel + Allen is a legitimate threat. Either they back off or sell out and try to wipe out our suspect O-line, in which case Kyle will get to try out his dink and dunk game. Should be fun either way!

Facing 3rd and 5 from the Texans 15, down 28-24 with 37 seconds left, Kyle Allen throws a perfect pass into the hands of Greg Olsen at the 2 yard line. Although typically sure-handed, he bobbles it, allowing Benardrick McKinney to grab it in the air. McKinney sprints down the sideline, looking free to score a pick 6 to seal the game. At the Panthers 40 yard line, none other than Kyle Allen comes sprinting from behind, torpedoing his body forward to slam McKinney with all his momentum, jarring the ball loose for a fumble. Allen picks it up and starts running it back. 6 Texans converge on him, but in the corner of his eye he spots McCaffrey on the other sideline without a Texan in site. He tosses a perfect lateral pass to the opposite side of the field and McCaffrey runs it 45 yards untouced to the endzone. Panthers win 31-28. The legend of Kyle Allen grows.

Allen's final stat line: 342 yards, 3 tds, 1 interception, 1 tackle, 1 forced fumble.

Houston has a better defense and I think it will show.  Allen won’t look like the second coming but I think he will be adequate and get a win.  190 yards 1 TD. I think we rely more on  quick dink’s and runs by CMC to win this one.  

That's never been a recipe for success. We better be balanced or we won't win this one.

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan

      Cowboys. Patriots. Couldn't ask for two bigger villains.

      I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
