What A Gutsy Performance From Our Quarterback

I love the win support but 

Kyle Allen sucks,.. 

we won as a team despite him, not because of him.

the only thing he does well is avoid interceptions for the most part.

I don't know.  I mean he didn't do anything that cost us the game, and for a backup, that is decent enough.  And he did have some good throws, and a couple of them should have been caught.  While I think Cam is still the starter, I do think that Allen has solidified his hold on the backup position.

Lol, nice troll job.  Kyle had a bad day and after a 4 game sample size now, it's safe to say he is Dave Krieg and Tony Banks' lovechild.  He's a solid passer and game manager, but man, he has zero pocket awareness and ball security.  

Can't wait for Cam to get back healthy.

Best take on Allen since half the board started jerking for KA. Dude does enough to let the team win. He’s not gonna take over and win us any games but he’ll do enough to not lose us any either. Love KA as a backup

Ok sucks is harsh.

he does what he can, did make some decent throws that should have been caught, didn’t force anything when there was nothing, didn’t lose us the game.

the defense and the run game and of course 100 yards of Jax penalties won the game as a team.

kyle can’t win us the game, but it’s good he won’t lose it for us.

a good backup

people are too focused on the stat line - in both directions.  saw it after the arizona game and it is the opposite end of it here.  for a 2nd year player, and one with limited college experience at that, he has been a great backup.  

he will need to do more at some point though. edit: if Cam can't make it back after the bye that is.

It's time to come up with a name for the mania surrounding Kyle Allen. With the 34-27 victory he's 4-0 as a starter, becoming the first undrafted quarterback to do that since Kurt Warner in 1999. It's going to be interesting to see what happens when Cam Newton returns

David Newton is a troll. If you think Kyle Allen starts over a healthy Cam Newton you are delusional. Kyle has proven he can be a good backup, but the jury is still out on being a starter. He was off big today and the fumbling issues are a huge concern.

the second fumble is probably a fumble for most QBs. blind sided 2s into a play...

but he still needs to keep his fuging hands on the ball.

at least there were a couple points later where he very clearly was more aware of the ball when he started moving around in the pocket.

and honestly I think both Houston and Jax have decent defenses (especially Jax), and they both are scheming to punish our pass blocking and limit what we have. CMC is just godly or it would have worked in both games.

Delhomme actually fumbled a lot in his first year as a starter, as I recall.

Granted, not as much as Allen.

    • You kinda gloss over this, but this is really at the crux of this whole argument....which Flacco are we talking here?  You bring up that he played with 3 different teams but ignore the fact that his performance varied quite a bit from team to team. 2024 Colts: 65.3% completion, 12 TDs, 7 INTs, 220.1 YPG, 7.1 Y/A, 90.5 rating 2025 Browns: 58.1% completion, 2 TDs, 6 INTs, 203.8 YPG, 5.1 Y/A, 60.3 rating 2025 Bengals: 63.4% completion, 12 TDs, 3 INTs, 290.6 YPG, 6.8 Y/A, 96.2 rating 2025 Flacco (Browns + Bengals): 61.1% completion, 14 TDs, 9 INTs, 252.0 YPG, 6.1 Y/A, 80.8 rating vs. 2025 Bryce: 62.7% completion, 14 TDs, 7 INTs, 196.2 YPG, 6.2 Y/A, 86.0 rating I bolded the comparison that I think objectively makes the most sense...just simply comparing the two QBs for the entire season.  Otherwise you'd be cherry-picking Flacco's time with the Bengals and ignoring his earlier stint with the Browns, which sounds an awful lot like people cherry-picking Bryce's stats in the second half of last season. So again, which Flacco?  Basically the only thing consistent with Flacco across each of these teams was his W/L records: 2-4, 1-3, and 1-4 respectively.  I'd say if we're comparing each version of him to Bryce this year: Colts Flacco > 2025 Bryce, Browns Flacco <<< 2025 Bryce, Bengals Flacco >> 2025 Bryce, and 2025 Flacco < 2025 Bryce - Flacco this year only beats out Bryce on YPG but in part because he throws significantly more passes (almost 60 YPG more than Bryce, despite a lower Y/A which is pretty telling) .  Flacco is maybe the most apt case study about how important a QB's circumstances are to his success.  He was easily a bottom 3 QB in Cleveland and arguably top 10-15 in Cincinnati...and we're talking about the same player from the same season.  All that happened was taking him from one team and plopping him onto another team; nothing inherently changed about him as a QB.  Funny enough I think that's all that one dude on here was trying to say when he made that long poorly-received post after having an epiphany working for PFF behind the scenes or w/e.  That it's largely short-sighted to just try to evaluate QBs in a vacuum when there are so many variables at play that ultimately decide whether a QB is successful or not.   I think Bryce has been mediocre at best this season and I'm ready to move on regardless of how he ends this season - I'm highly skeptical a strong end to the season will carry over into next year considering how last year ended and this year began.  I would certainly agree that he's a bottom-third QB this year.  I just don't understand you scoffing indignantly at anyone holding the opinion that Bryce has had a better season than Flacco...I can only assume it's recency bias.  Or maybe you know the stats don't support you, which is why you're conjuring up the god-forsaken arbitrary "eyeball test" which is the kinda thing people in here were saying about Fields for years, pinky promising that he really truly was a franchise QB despite his awful stats.  Perhaps it's called the eyeball test because I roll my eyes anytime I hear someone bring it up seriously as an argument.
    • CMC said he expected to play his career here.  He didn't think he would be traded.  Carolina decided they wanted to trade him.  He picked here he wanted to go.   But we dumped him.  For largely peanuts.   But we dumped DJ Moore and he never had a blood and guts game.   So it's never a guarantee. 
    • I have many people telling me CMC was blindsided and heartbroken by the trade, but that's not how I remember everything going down.  49ers are pretty wounded right now on defense so if our offense can sustain drives and score, that'd be the difference maker. Their offense? I'm not scared of CMC.
