What A Gutsy Performance From Our Quarterback

Yo must be one of the biggest Cam haters on this forum. How the hell do you say we haven’t had a real qb in years when Cam won the MVP in 2015 and was 6-2 last season before he fell apart.

Put the haterade down and take your blindfolds off

And oh yeh, Allen didn’t play a great game today. CMC ran well and he didn’t get a chance to fumble anything

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

Granted, not as much as Allen.

Allen's fumbling is insanely frequent, but I think a lot of new QBs have less severe problems early on.

At least he went a half without a fumble...?

Allen has started 4 games (all of which were wins).

Chances are he'll improve with time.

 

Of course he will improve.

The Panthers have a QB who is a career 4-0 and showing improvement every game. There is absolutely no reason to rock the boat and replace him when the other QB is healthy.

Sometimes it shows when you work on your craft and spend time watching film. Kyle is a grinder who is only going to get better.

Kyle Allen is a good game manager, that's it. He HAS to work on those fumbles though. Every time he gets hit he fumbles. Maybe he just has small hands, but one of these times the defense is going to run one back.

At least he had the guts to jump on the fumble after losing it.

Obvious stupid shitpost thread aside, Kyle Allen has done an admirable job with the situation he was thrown into. Is he a legit starter? You just can't know that from only 3 or 4 starts. At this time until the fumbles are under control all we can expect of him is to hopefully not directly lose us the game. He is at best an at times shaky game manager as of right now. Considering we are starting a young QB it could be worse. But that OL has got to keep trending upward or none of this will matter.

    • I don't need that many words to say Bryce Young has not yet surpassed the caliber of QB play that current Joe Flacco represents.   I have watched every game Bryce has played.  He doesn't give you average QB play.   He can't make a ton of throws.  Bryce is consistent overall in what he is.  You can take outlier games on both ends of the spectrum out of play and judge him or any QB.....for Bryce it is unquestioned bottom of the league play.  All you have to do is watch the two play.  Flacco is good enough that if you can keep up right and give him time.....he presents a level of play Bryce can't do as a passer  
    • Not sure.  Which ones have more GWDs in the same time frame?
    • 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.
