Yet another Cam vs Allen thread - a statistical comparison


Obeg

Recommended Posts

I know - another of these threads - but this one is a little different.  I got into an argument with a friend while I was at the game yesterday through text.  I could not back up my claims while in the stands - but this morning I could.  I ran the numbers and I was actually surprised to see that a healthy 2018 Cam leads Allen in every single statistical category.  Really - at this point, Allen only has two advantages:  Cost (significant and a valid argument), and less controversial clothing choices.

Allen is a fine QB, seems to be a nice diamond in the rough, but to argue that he is better than a healthy Cam on the field is just silly.  (currently - Allen is still young)

Exhibit A: The challenge

problem is he wasn't healthy and was out there playing.   and you're comparing a vet and a guy in his 7th game.   and why you thought anyone wanted this thread after 2000 of them.....

Why?  Because I was called out by my friend to do the comparison.  The results surprised me.  Surprised me in two ways.  1) That Cam lead in every category.  2) That Allen's stats are closer in most to Cam and others in the league than I thought.  I thought someone else here might be interested in the results without having to do the work. If that's not you, you didn't have to click.

    • We agree here dawg. I'd love for Bryce to succeed as would all huddlers. I have not seen a single huddler hate Bryce for anything other than his play on the field / potential / skillset. He hasn't gotten any of the irrational hate having nothing to do with football that Cam got. And yeah I understood going into this season with Bryce again as there weren't a ton of options, but man we missed the fuging mark on upgrading at backup QB with someone who could actually push Bryce. Bryce had zero pressure on him with a 100% washed up Dalton being the only other NFL caliber QB in the system. That absolutely needs to change this offseason. Ideally with an actual starter upgrade but that seems extremely unlikely due to not having many FA options and a bad draft. But at the very least with someone like you mentioned, young/upside and/or day 3 pick in the draft.   Another note, we have a top paid and top performing OL, great young talent at WR incl. likely OROY, great RB group, average all around TE group, offensive coach with creativity in the system and good play designs (poor situational playcalling but still I put out current offensive coaching staff over Shula who held Cam back for instance). Not the absolute best situation for a QB to be in, but still a very good situation around him. And yet we have a bottom 8 offense (6th lowest points scored). Imagine taking a victory lap for a QB leading his team to the 6th lowest points scored in the league and the 22nd highest passer rating (despite being asked to do less than many other QBs; i.e. Bo Nix who isn't great either and has a slightly lower passer rating but Sean Payton actually lets him try to throw the ball deep and has him throw significantly more than Bryce). Crazy
    • similar to Atlanta and the NHL.  Atlanta has lost two NHL teams (and lost a minor leaguer).  Now there's another coalition pulling together another proposal for Atlanta to get an NHL expansion. While I'd like hockey to be back in Atlanta 'cause hockey is fun, I am skeptical that it'll happen based on previous teams' experience here alternatively: similar to Atlanta hosting a Major Tennis Tournament in advance of the US Open every mid/late summer.  Aside from the fact that Atlanta is said to be the country's largest Tennis playing city (with both USTA and ALTA, along with a number of side leagues) - playing tennis outdoors in Atlanta summer is miserable *and* they had difficulty attracting players... ticket sales were not good. So the Atlanta Open closed after 14 years.  They just couldn't make it happen, even if for all intents it appears to be massive tennis interest in the surrounding area.
    • So I saw where Luke was doing that show parallel to the game. Whatever it was, statcast something something, knew it would be a good watch. I don’t get ESPN any more but that would be one of the about few things I would watch outside of games.     He doesn’t fool around on the radio broadcast.
