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.

    • I get the rookie QB formula and fully expected to see it implemented. Oh well. For the run game there was no or very little under center stuff until a good ways into the year. At least that is how I am remembering it. And no deep throwing - so stacked boxes which you can say chicken or egg on why.  Hard to run like that.  The QB that people said was so great was pulled for a designated Hail Mary thrower. That’s pretty unusual. And may speak to why we saw few deep balls in some part, along with the OL. To ignore that stuff means you aren’t working with all of the information when you try to mentally model or project what it might be like on the field.  Me, I have a slice of hope that he could maybe be NFL average but getting him to be a plus type of QB is a huge job. It depends on designing the playbook with certain values at the foundation that have to be adhered to first . You have to integrate the other pieces around this one guy’s skill set because he is a real outlier. And he has to learn the under center skill set. Maybe put that Only Positive thread back up people can go there if they don’t want to deal with rightly frustrated fans. 
    • Someone has to bare witness to what happens. It's hard to complain if you don't sit through it all. 
    • I do not pretend to be infallible or without flaws. I've been wrong on things over the years. We all have. Realistically most of what's been said here and on other Panthers fans social media platforms between the months of May and September for the last several years amounts to little more than spam. People drew lines in the sand over contentious takes on Bridgewater too. To the point of being asked if some people are really a Panthers fan over it. There will be reactionary spam during the season too particularly on gamedays. I've been reading these discussions on the huddle for 20 years. It's the same stuff rehashed the only thing that changes are the names in the front office the coaching staff and the roster. Some fans might be best served to stick to the official team social feeds if they are burned out on all this. Nothing wrong with that either. Different strokes for different folks. We're all human. As for the huddle. Honestly most of us post here out of habit. It's a habit hard to break. No different than the majority of the population that can't stop scrolling Facebook or X. Basically.....
