Kyle Allen is an inexperienced but good backup qb who is learning!

Kyle Allen enters Week 9 with the lowest PFF passing grade on clean dropbacks (61.4) among the 31 NFL quarterbacks with 100 or more clean-pockets on the year. He has thrown four touchdowns and three interceptions when kept clean this season.

This is why Dj Moore Samuel and the forever open Olsen dont have more yards and our oline is better then advertised. He cant make medium to deep throws and has a problem with going throgh his progressions. He is however a great backup QB so dont think im completely pooing on him. The game just hasnt slowed down for him, its progression 1...check down to CMC.

He was experienced enough to only get sacked 6 times the first half,..

I mean, I was a Kyle basher more than a supporter and for lit up for it by a lot of people.

with that being said— I don’t think anyone would have had a good game with that passrush.

maybe if we had some intermediate or long passes that had actually connected for touchdowns and made them backup,. Or even short passes that gashed them bad like they did us,..  Maybe that would have backed some of that off. Maybe at least give us a more respectable chance.

being able to have the receivers step up and gash them, extend drives and rest that poor defense that spent all day on the field getting murdered might have changed things.

thats a lot of mights and maybes

He’s a back up quarterback. He came in and made a few contributions. Helped the team on short notice. And then: He got roasted against the league’s best pass defense, on a windy day on the road. Like I’ve said, it’s hard to be a game manager when you’re down 21-3. People need to relax. He was never going to replace Cam Newton. Quit letting people on Twitter and really stupid people in the media make you feel threatened about that.

Most of us already knew he was nothing more than a backup.  How good he actually will be is just a guess.  My guess is he isn't going to be taking anyone's job anytime soon, if ever.  I certainly wouldn't count him to be Cam's successor.  That guy isn't on the roster.

A back up QB is really for 1 to 3 games as a filler, not to carry a team. He past his point of contribution with 4 wins in games. The league has figured him out and now we're stretching it. Maybe that's another reason we drafted Grier but he just didn't get it fast enough but has more potential for 2020 and beyond. At least has the skills. Hope Cam comes back for the following week but again no promises he won't be rusty either.

Just like inexperienced threads as this one is.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
