Kyle Allen is more Joe Flacco (Ravens era) than Tom Brady or Kirk Cousins

I have been thinking and struggling on who Kyle Allen is and what he can become. Some want to crown him as our very own Tom Brady, but I don’t think his ceiling is that high. Others say he is Kirk Cousins, an ok QB that will flash greatness in rare occasions but more often than not, disappoint you, I don’t agree with that either, I think Allen is a bit more consistent and better than Cousins.

No, it finally went off like a light bulb. Joe Flacco. That is exactly Kyle Allen’s potential right there. Both are QBs that are overall consistent, however both are very much traditional, vanilla QBs. They aren’t going to dazzle you and mesmerize you, they just simply are both reliable QBs you can count on to just get the job done. 

If you look at Flacco’s stats over the years, eerily similar to Allen’s over the course of his career. Frankly, if we have a Joe Flacco on our hands (Ravens Flacco NOT crappy Broncos Flacco) then that is fine by me.

Agreed! I referenced Flacco when comparing Allen many times and I think it fits. That is also why I believe this coaching stuff needs a major turnover as I do not believe they can put the necessary pieces around Allen to get the most out of him.

See I’m not so sure about that, the coaching part I mean. Infact Kyle Allen/Flacco seems just exactly the type of QB a Rivera led team would have. A vanilla, run of the mill QB that just goes out there and does what he has to do with a heavy run first offense. 
 

Unless we completely implode, I would be ok with keeping the current regime one more year and see what Norv and Kyle can do in a entire off season with KA as the bonafide starter

During his prime and playoff runs, Flacco had a nice long ball

The Ravens were gashing people down the field with big time plays

Joe Flacco is 6"6, had a very strong arm during his prime, 1st round draft pick

Kyle Allen is tiny, has baby sized hands, and doesn't have the arm strength to throw it deep

Kyle Allen's best comparison and upside is Case Keenum, another guy that undrafted from Houston, but could be a game manager in the right system

 

Allen is 6’3, he just needs to add some weight and strength and he will be find

This team is destined to sit around 7-9/8-8 with the current regime which is pretty much being stuck in purgatory. If we completely implode and get a hard reset that is us getting lucky. I would rather not sit another ten years of that let alone five if we can do the hard reset now.

Way too early for that sort of comparison until we show we can actually throw downfield consistently to keep defenses honest.

Flacco is a Super Bowl champion and frankly played out of his mind on the Ravens playoff run that year. Deserved MVP. Yeah they obviously had a ridiculous defense but Joe willed them often that year.

I see Kyle Allen as more of an Alex Smith type. If you surround him with an elite defense, running game, and coaches he can produce. However, very few teams have the luxury of having all three elements. The games we won this year is either CMC getting 160+ yards from scrimmage or the defense forcing 3+ turnovers and sacks.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
