I want you to imagine something. Imagine we had taken Allen with the third round pick this season instead of Grier.

Now let the season play out as it has and you'd have a third round pick playing undefeated and actively being a part of those victories.

You'd be shouting the praises of the guy, the pick and our future.

The kid has earned some adulation and many, many hurrahs. 

No slam at all on Cam, but if your draft pick comes off the bench and wins out not just one game, but three in a row, you have a reason to cheer.

It is interesting discussion. 

We, including myself, just have a strong emotional attachment to Cam.  We have been defending him for years and we feel we need to protect him now even more so.  

Kyle Allen deserves a ton of credit. He's been solid and he is capable of getting better. We should all be happy an thankful because 3 weeks ago people were looking at the draft.  If Sunday is Kyles last game starting, we need to remember he helped save our 2019-2020 season.  I thought it was over for sure, and now we have a chance.

In what world is Grier a bust after playing in ZERO regular season games. 

This.

Allen’s play means we don’t know what Grier may or may not become, and if you’re going to point to the preseason as any indicator, remember that’s the same preseason in which Allen looked like nothing special and certainly not someone we’d expect to go 3-0 if Cam was out.

The team won those games. He’s been decent, but let’s stop it like the defense and CMC hasn’t carried him. He almost gave the game away last game.

      a look at our 19 udfas

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.

      Aho and Jarvis just gripping it too tight right now. Relax, play their 200 ft game and the shots will start to find the net. Freddie has been excellent and welcome back Mista Svechnikov. Burns.....well, thank goodness for Slavin.
