I don't think we can bench Kyle Allen...

Recommended Posts

Allen  has played 5 games, won them all, and three of them have been stellar performances. How anyone can claim they know his ceiling is beyond me. The dude can read the field, throw the ball accurately, keep his cool, and make the big play. 

Sometimes a player no one knows can turn into something, it happens. Luckily it's happening to us, whether Cam comes back healthy and shows he can still play, whether Allen wins the job outright, or even if Allen nets us a great draft pick; enjoy the ride fellows. These kind of things don't happen often.

Healthy Newton plays and he either is Newton of old and we have a shot at the SB or he won’t ever be the same and it gets to the point we see Allen is the better option.

 

Above is what needs to happen 1000%

Kyle Allens ability to protect the football by not throwing interceptions or fumbling the ball is the blueprint for reaching the Superbowl...not athletic talent

now this is what you call 100%

What’s truly winning games for Allen right now is also the same element that was losing them for Cam and Carolina in the second half of 2018. The defense had one of the worst pass rushes in the league last year (No. 27 in sacks), whereas this year it’s one of the best (No. 8). The secondary has also made a dramatic turnaround. Instead of giving up massive plays every week, the DBs are locking down even star wide receivers and creating turnovers. The Panthers have already posted nine interceptions this season, whereas they had 13 all of last year.

you had newton get destroyed the first drive of the first preseason game behind an experimental right tackle at left.. since allen has been under center you have moved him back to the right side with two backup left tackles who have all proven to be better at left than right.. last we saw healthy newton beginning of 2018 he was doing better than 15..

Basically everybody is good except Kyle Allen. Got it :eyeroll:

That isn't what I said your clearly pushing an agenda.. so have at it..

Me pushing an agenda... Riiiight :eyeroll:

Here's my actual agenda.

Whoever gives us the best chance to win games should be starting. I don't care who they are, where they go, what they look like or much of anything else about them aside from their football skills.

Win games. That is all.

Let’s be 100 percent clear on something: Assuming Newton is healthy — really healthy, not the Ron Rivera “he can go”-type healthy that’s been used when he’s obviously hurt — then there should be no deliberation. If the Panthers really have a “tough decision” deciding if Newton is better than Allen, the entire front office should lose their jobs for gross incompetence alone.

You Cape in every post pushing the Allen is superior to Newton button but it's a lie.. he says a very conservative safe game and that's your cup of tea. That's fine for the games the rest of the team can win for him. but ball for ball he isn't better than Newton and conservative ball wont beat the mistake free teams like the chiefs or the Patriots. ALLEN is fools gold. Hes a driver that wont make mistake but dont look for him to create wins..

Based on your interpretations, I'm pretty sure you haven't read even half my recent posts :)

so how do you beat a mistake free football team?

I'm going out on a limb here by saying...

playing mistake free football yourself is the correct answer?

Alex Smith would probably still be the Cheifs qb if completion percentages were all that mattered and mistake free football is better than a guy that can create right...20191014_150653.thumb.jpg.7db427302ddb4032dedee26687a6ba8b.jpg

Lol, the Chiefs and Patriots have looked anything but mistake free. Have you even watched their last 3 games? Chiefs have at least played good teams, so they may get a pass, but the Patriots offense is not playing what I would call "mistake free football".

There are always outliners.. but as far as consistency goes Mahomes is more likely to not throw a int than he is since he only has one. Same for brady.. this short sighted thinking is part of why people seem to think "hey allen is winning with the same team cam had he must be better right".

    • No you dont.  He had all those records for years before his final season. Whether career or season he had them all years before his final season in which he played 6 games.
    • Williams covered for Moore by saying they were on the wrong page about Moores specific route. Williams could have easily covered for him by saying he messed up. Suggesting only 1 route was ever intended to be a viable target is absurd.
    • I am going to agree with Linville this time--I think we need to get a veteran edge (We have Jones II, Scourton, and Princely--2 developmental guys and a decent veteran).  We don't really think of Jones because he had a hamstring injury weeks 3 and 4 and a back that required surgery Week 6-17.  He still managed 10 pressures, and he will be 28.  Princely Umanmielen only played in approximately 18-20% of the snaps and he struggled at times.  Basically, he was a situational pass rusher.  He got 1.5 sacks and 10 pressures.  He should improve, but for now, he is what he is.  Scourton gives us hope.  For a rookie (and thanks to Jones II's injuries, he was given more PT), he had 8 sacks--and held the edge.  He played at a first-round draft pick level.  He has the potential to become "that guy" in 2026. We lose Wonnum, who played nearly 700 snaps and amassed 3 whole sacks.  For a person raised a Gamecock, I would not be upset if we purged our roster of all South Carolina alumni.   However, I see it this way:  Wonnum was decent holding the edge, something Patrick Jones II and Scourton have demonstrated at a high level.  He is a liability, if you ask me.    Jones had 7 sacks one season in Minnesota and is known for his inside rushing ability--not what you would call a speed rusher.  I think Princely was a bit disappointing, but he was a bit raw.  Out of college, they described him as being a bit predictable.  I see no reason he will not improve in 2026 and become a situational pass rusher.   Basically, with Scourton and Princely expected to continue to develop and Jones II returning from injury, I think we need another veteran (if we can get a good one) to give us balance and depth.  A third developmental player is not ideal.   Draft:  OT, LB, WR, OL depth, S. Free Agency:  Edge, possibly a WR;  re-sign Mays, Cuhran, BC (??), and Nijman.  Let walk:  Wonnum, Scott, Dowdle.  I see about $20m per year after signing the OL depth.  Spend it on a veteran edge.   Players like Reddick (Tampa), Bosa (Buffalo), Khalil Mack (LAC) could be available on a one or two year deal in the $15m range.  We could splurge here, but I think a veteran situational pass rusher (depending on Jones II's back) is all we need while our 2 young guns develop.
