Below are five QBs stats during their first seasons. Yes I realize that QBs can flame out in a split second and yes I realize Kyle’s sample size is still small and I’m comparing full seasons to Kyle’s several games, but, here we go.

Aaron Rodgers- 4038 yds, 28 TDs, 13 ints, 93 QBr 63.6% completion rate 

Peyton Manning- 3739 yds, 26 TDs, 28 ints, 71 QBr 56.7% completion rate

Drew Brees- 3284 yds, 17 yds, 16 ints, 76.9 QBr, 60.8% completion rate

Tom Brady- 2843 yds, 18 tds, 12 ints, 86.5% QBr, 63.9% completion rate

Kyle Allen- 1291 yds, 9 TDs, 4 ints, 87.8 QBr, 60.9% completion rate

 

Now obviously there are way more factors at play, intangibles of course being a big one. Kyle Allen has shown he can make all the NFL throws, has pretty good pocket awareness and along with very solid stats, he passes the eye test. Oh and he is only 23 years old! TWENTY THREE! 

Of course I realize he could easily be the next Baker Mayfield and flame out at the blink of an eye, but I truly think once he has a full off season practicing and training as the starter, sky is the limit.

He can’t make all the nfl throws

that is my concern as well (although less so my concern about him being a "franchise qb" and moreso my worry about him taking us to the playoffs :P )

but there are reasons to be optimistic... he had a nice throw to Samuel and the throw to Moore was not bad last game (along with, yes, a bunch of misses).  A lot of QBs rely on receivers coming down with 50/50 balls, but I want to see a bit more consistency there... Hitting on 1-2 more deep balls a game will clear out the short and intermediate routes / run lanes very cleanly, and that is what we will need

This x1000

until he actually hits a receiver in stride over 40 yards through the air this conversation is pointless

Those throws seem to always be on point but the WRs seem to always drop them or not fight for them. I will say his deep balls have more touch and are at least closer to the WR than Cam’s were, Cam’s would sail way past the WR

Watching him on Sunday

anyway, a lot of those dudes were on downright atrocious teams. hard to compare.  Allen isn't being asked to do as much as they were and isn't needing to.

Seeing how well he was controlling the offense and moving the ball downfield during that 2nd QTR drive on Sunday was a thing of beauty and showed flashes of what he can become

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
