Kyle Allen just throws a more catchable ball

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.

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..

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.

richard sherman sure thinks allen throws a catchable ball

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

      D and D is the answer.

      Nothing new, Run the ball and stop the run has always been the key in the NFL. So many on here don't want a game manager.  They want Dan Marino or Dan Fouts to be throwing the ball.  (neither of them won a SB)

      Why do people think Bryce Young won this game yesterday?

      By Mage · Posted

      Why do you intentionally twist things that people say? Please show me in my post where I said that the media has NEVER hyped up Bryce Young. The person I was responding to said that the media has created a mythos around Bryce Young.  And I asked if he can show me anything recently where the media has spoken about Bryce Young as if they are building a mythos around him.  And no, I don't consider articles from before he was drafted to mean jack ish - people are wrong, including you, including myself, about prospects every year. Since the season has started, can you give me one media outlet that has deemed Bryce Young to be a franchise QB / long-term answer at the position?  Don't bother responding with anything else.

      But neither is 100 per game.  Sunday's game was very windy.  Both Young and Love felt it.   I'm no NFL QB but I can throw a football quite well.  Throwing in a strong wind is very difficult.  The shorter the throws the better chance you have of maintaining the zip on the ball.   The longer the ball is in the air the velocity decrease quite quickly.  Young's throw that was intercepted was the exact route XL scored on in Miami, but it was easily picked off due to the strong wind.   Love should have had two picks against him and both of them died in the wind.  So, while throw bombs is cool you have to take the conditions into account.
