I'd wanna prop up Kyle Allen to after Newton did this with a bunch of no name / considered bust receivers. People really forget how good a healthy Cam is. Ginn / Brown / Cotchery / Olse / Funchess (rookie)

 

Oh yeah, and the other time we faced Bowles with a healthy Cam... :thinking:

 

 

I mean facts do matter...not sure you really remember that game since you are pimping it as Cam owning Bowles.

Cam completed 39% of his passes for 168 yards, no passing TDs.  3 sacks and a fumble.  His worst game of the season.  He did add 28 yards on the ground and a score though. 

Jets had our O figured out and stopped.

From October 1st, regarding the now fired Jay Gruden...

Belichick is notorious for building up opponents. If you asked him about Eric Washington, he'd probably describe him as a great defensive coordinator.

That's not to say any of his compliments are invalid, mind you, but you've got to be kind of careful about going by what Belichick says.

Not saying you're wrong, but what is Bill's record against Cam? 9nly way that they could stop him was a cheap shot/late hit to the back in preseason. Beyond that, they had no real answer for him. Maybe that's the reason Cam was considered public enemy#1?

Only way he could be stopped was late hits and cheap shots (that the refs and league allowed) and he was only limited by Shula, no name receivers, and a barely existing OL.

The media and league and a significant segment of our own fanbase never liked him and wanted him to fail. He was far better than anyone thought and the only way he was going to be stopped was through constant abuse of his body through illegal, late, and cheap shots which went unpenalized for far too long under the rationale that 1) he's big enough that he can take it 2) he needs to be knocked down a few pegs and 3) he wasn't old enough. 

Cam was the most lethal QB in the league because there had never been anyone like him and his talents were wasted on a bad and mismanaged team.

Allen is good.... so far, but he's no Cam.

Does not being Cam equal being bad, though?

There are an awful lot of quarterbacks that the NFL perceives as being successful who are also not Cam. if you're going to make that the standard for declaring whether Kyle Allen is good or not, I think I can guess the conclusion.

Honestly, that's probably part of the issue with the scenarios here.

We've got people whose whole premise is that if he can't do what Newton does, he's never going to be as good. Reality is that there are a pretty good number of quarterbacks in the league who can't or don't do what Newton does but still manage to win a lot of games.

You have to look at it objectively.

I think Allen is an ok QB and a decent fit for the system. I don't think he's a star. Cam was a guy you build a team around (that we should have done a better job of) because of the skillset he brings. Allen is a guy you plug into a system and hope he does well enough.

I am not, nor have I said, he's bad. I'm just not ready to crown him. As I've said before, he seems like a good enough game manager, but not much more than that. 

He's a good story, but I don't see him as a guy you can put the team on his back the way that Cam and Jake did. At least not yet I don't.

This is BS.. It doesn't have to be the same way Cam did it..  If Kyle was playing like Kurt Warner when he took over for Trent Green this isn't even a debate.. If Kyle was a elite passer and we can see him carry a team (like a Cam, Russell, Rodgers) this isn't a debate.. Some ppl here can see when a team is carrying a QB or vice-versa..

It comes down to is Kyle more of a Andy Dalton or can he be a Phillp Rivers type QB.. We don't know.. But reality is when healthy you have a guy who has proven he is a QB who can carry a team..

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

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

      By strato · Posted

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
