A little perspective on Allen

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.

      BREAKING: Panthers re-signing Nick Scott

      By PleaseCutStewart · Posted

      Yeah, I thought he played better the 2nd half of the season also. That being said, he definitely got picked apart in the playoff game and only got the INT in the other Rams game because of DB deflecting the ball at the LOS

      I think that's good value. I'm in the minority, but I actually thought Nick Scott played pretty well the 2nd half of the year, minus the Rams playoffs game. Hopefully he isn't our starting FS next year and can be backup FS and be the special teams contributor he should have been since day 1 from us.

      At this point its Sadiq or bust... A

      By PleaseCutStewart · Posted

      I still think Sadiq has too many red flags to take with our 1st round pick. We are talking about a guy that averaged 40 yards/game, despite having a spread offense that is easy to produce yards in with Oregon + a Heisman caliber QB. You can have all the straight line speed and vertical in the world - if you don't know how to run routes, read zone defenses, and use your body to body up defenders to make contested catches, you aren't going to be great in the NFL. His athleticism does not show up on tape at all for me and I don't see him being successful as an inline tight end. If we are going to take a chance on tight ends that disappointed in college that probably can't be an inline TE, I would much rather use a pick on Klare in the 3rd round.
