Yet another Cam vs Allen thread - a statistical comparison

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.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.

      Schrader / Jeremiah mock draft experiment

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      Sadiq feels like a lazy comp.  Sure he would be a big improvement over what we have but at a position we don't and maybe can't (midget qb) utilize.  I hope the staff puts together a list of players you automatically take at 19 (Freeling, Lemon, Downs, Faulk) and if none are there, trade back to look at (Thieneman, McNeil-Warren, Proctor, Lomu, Allen, Iheanachor, Banks, Woods).  I get the people that think an OT would be a waste because we temporarily patched that hole, and ILB and safety are a waste because that is high to take those particular positions, but by trading back we get extra picks to fill every need.  A draft that has an OT, S, ILB, slot WR, and C would really put us in a good position moving forward if we get an extra first three rounds additional pick.
