Kyle Allen just throws a more catchable ball

[PhillyB]

This is admittedly a garbage thread, but also a rhetorical device to smack the jesus out of any moron who's ever said the title out loud and not in jest. Besides being a bafflingly stupid statement from a technical standpoint, its general tenor as a knock against Cam now looks profoundly idiotic.

Kyle Allen has played admirably up to this point given the circumstances and I hope we continue to develop him as a part of the team. However, the true test of his mettle was always going to be a game where the entire team played like garbage and he was going to have to put the team on his back and find a way to win as Cam Newton has done countless times in his career, and we saw nothing today that suggested he's capable of that.

Now that we've crashed back down to earth, let's cross our fingers for Cam Newton and 5-3.

The 49Ers agree.

So glad this stupid debate is over.

Two words:  Joe Burrow

He is a really good backup. As far as where his ceiling is, that's debatable. If Cam is done, we should be looking at every QB in the draft. If we can't get a franchise QB, we could have worse options than Allen for a year.

I don't want to sound like a Cam homer but I agree 100% with what you said. In a way I feel we needed this kind of display just to put things back in perspective. Fans and media have been blinded by this team's success to the point we actually thought we would be better off with Allen than Newton. Being 4-0 is a measurement of the team's ability not of Allen's.Now that he has been forced to pass look at him..

49ers dline loving kyle allen's 'amazing' pocket presence.

[tiger7_88]

Ain't it funny how when a QB is constantly running for his life that damned completion percentage just keeps dropping and dropping and dropping?

Its almost like that funny principle known as cause and effect.

[Saca312]

this whole situation sucks. im not cheering kyle allen to be bad. but the reality is, if you were kidding yourselves into thinking he's anything other than a viable backup/okay starter, then you were going to be massively disappointed in this turnout.

Thanks Kyle. We’re lucky to have you a part of this team. But if Cam can be Superman again we need him back.

to preemptively respond to the third tier trash can posters that will ooze out to complain, this post isn't a knock against kyle allen for having a bad game or throwing INTs like all quarterbacks do, but that this game (defense and special teams  playing poorly) offered him a chance to put the team on his back and carry it, and not only did he not but he totally melted down.

he has done an admirable job holding down the fort and 

...we interrupt this post to report on bosa stealing kyle allen's jock

Will Grier!  Haha I kid Cam back next week.
