The 7 QBs in NFL history to win their first 5 starts


Sam Mills Fan

Recommended Posts

Ben Roethlisberger won his first 15 regular season games.

Daunte Culpepper 7

Jimmy Garoppolo 7

Patrick Mahomes 6

Kurt Warner 6

Kyle Allen 5

Marc Bulger 5

 

On that list is a Hall of Famer (Warner), another one is definitely going (Roethlisberger), another one has the ability to get there if he keeps playing the way he is at 24 for the next decade (Mahomes), one made 3 Pro Bowls until Chris Gamble made his knee explode and ruined his career (Culpepper), one made 2 Pro Bowls (Bulger), and one has definitely fallen back to Earth but is still an entrenched starter that is quarterbacking a 5-0 team (Garoppolo). No career backups on this list.

Do you think this points to Kyle Allen having a long career as a starter here or elsewhere or do you think this is all just a big coincidence that doesn't signify anything?

It seems likely to me Allen is more than a mediocre career backup, but we still have a very small sample size where he hasn't been asked to do a ton.  But I am very excited to see how he develops for us.  Perhaps Allen can be the future, but too early to say. 

Cam Newton is still better right now when healthy, and he is our "present."

I think with Allen only being 23, if he had a full off season to actually train and get full time reps as a starter, he could definitely be a franchise QB.

You have to understand that he hasn’t even had that luxury yet. Combine a full off season of full time training as a starter plus the experience and learning trial by far for this season, I think he could have a really really good season next year

I believe so too.  He seems extra cool out there and unflappable.  Time will tell I guess.

    • Personally I think he's a nightmare to cover I think linebackers generally aren't fast enough to keep up with him in coverage and cornerbacks don't have the strength to tackle him one-on-one in physically bring them down which would normally lead to a broken tackle or a nasty stiff arm or just bully ball play sure you could find a receiver with comparable speed like Cooper but he's faster than Cooper sure you can find a wide receiver that is the same size but he's probably More powerful than them and a better blocker.  The size speed athleticism package that he is in is completely unique it's easier to say I'd rather have just a big blocker because we've never seen this type of profile before I'm a risk taker I think you would be God blessed if this was there at 19 I think if you can get a guy that's a tight end who immediately becomes the fastest guy on your offense and at the same time that third wide receiver that can stretch and burn defenses over the top that's the perfect what the Panthers need type weapon.
    • I think you're under selling Sadiq. They are two different players in terms of how they win. Loveland is 2 inches taller maybe 5-6 pounds heavier. Comparing his speed to sadiq.. well your comparing a 4.7 guy to a 4.3 guy I'm seeing a guy that can take a bubble screen from the tight end position and turn it into a house call. I'm not saying the guy is a certified home run pick but I don't think there's really a president's for a comparison for this kind of athlete. It's easy to say this doesn't look like Warren or Loveland because we haven't seen guys that fit this profile The closest you might be able to get is Vernon Davis.  He's not as sure far as those guys were but at 19 I think almost everybody is going to have some warts and he's a lottery ticket of could be top 10 in the draft player or could fail I am more of a risk taker I think he fits the athletic profile that could be a homerun, like I said he's almost 40 lb bigger than Cooper and like 4-5 in taller than Cooper so and he's faster. So whatever you think Cooper gives you I think he does that and more. If you want to go with one of the office alignment I can understand that as well but for value as a receiving threat I don't think there's a bigger value at number 19.
    • I’ve haven’t seen anything that says we have interest in Njoku?
