Todd Bowles told us in our pre-broadcast meeting that the Allen-QBed team presented more of a challenge to defend than the Week 2 Cam QBed team. Said, among other issues, Allen finds his outlets better

Apparently this was said during interviews the week leading up to the game.

Oh poo, better trade the former MVP for a guy averaging 225 yards a game (25th in the league) and has almost no rushing statistics.

Jeremy Igo, the cheerleader for mediocre.

Opposing DC comments about the gameplan of the game we just won and I guess I should not post it because it may hurt some feelings.

 

Objectively, it is relevant and interesting.

We won, and put up 30+ points again...this isn't an anomaly with this offense if it gets clicking.  Allen is able to hit receivers and place the ball better then Newton.  He isn't as athletically as gifted as Newton but from the standpoint of ball placement and hitting WRs in stride, Allen is superior.

Obviously. A Cam who can’t run or hit an open WR doesn’t pose much of a challenge. There’s no doubt in any of our minds, even the Cam first fans, that Allen in week 2 wins us the game. Cam was so clearly hurt an ineffective that it’s egregious that Cam didn’t say anything while he knew he was hurting the team and that the coaches were blind and dumb enough to not replace him.

Two things. 7 turnovers, and Daley.

If that Tampa team from week 2 played even a hobbled Cam with the offensive line from this week, as well as Daley at LT and it's an easy win.

Then why does he fumble so often?

Newton fumbled away the Super Bowl in his prime. Fumbles and interceptions have ended 3 out of 4 if our playoff runs with Newton. He's a 250 pound 9 year veteran.

Allen is getting hit for the first times in the NFL....and improving

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
