Is Allen a legit starting qb

Allen has four games under his belt, and yes he hasn’t lost a game yet. 
 

But watching him in the pocket makes me nervous, he has horrible pocket presence and he’s still losing the ball. Has had two rough games against the Texans and Jags, teams are getting tape on him and know what he can/can’t do. Pretty easy to say Minshew outplayed him today.

So I’m wondering if Allen is the answer if we move on from Cam. Can he improve his play in the pocket? Probably.

Can he fix his fumbling issues? Probably.

Will he be a threat to throw deep? Haven’t seen much of this, maybe he will.

We’re 3-2 without Cam, three straight wins with Kyle this season. Probably not enough to say one way or the other but do you guys think we can consistently win with Allen as a starter?

we would have a better idea with a better line.   cam would have gotten killed behind that line today.  he holds the ball waiting for better options.   anyone wanting cam coming in behind this line, the way he plays, is nuts

To early to tell.  At the least a decent backup.  
We have faced 2 good pass rushing teams in the Texans and the Jags.  Both in the top 10 in pass rush.  
 

He has looked rattled, but many young guys look shacks under pressure to start.  

But to early to tell.  Need more games to figure that out.  
 

Be interesting what he does in London.

    • The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.
    • That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO) 
    • looks like the Lions and Bangles should forget about the playoffs, trade everyone they can, and start over.
