Kyle Allen QB1

Until the season has concluded there is no point in judging him on a game by game basis considering the circumstances he has been thrust into unless he's just flat out playing abysmal. He has displayed ability within the pocket and a short term memory on mistakes. The concern right now is the deep ball. We have to start connecting on those and that will alleviate some of these issues.

They need to get him, DJ, and Curtis out there running deep ball drills every day. 

It looks like he has the arm on most throws. But maybe he really can't throw 50 yards. If that's the case then he has got to work on timing with these guys.

Kyle Allen is playing the teams on the schedule and playing arguably the best team in the NFC, in arguably the hardest environment in the league to a one TD (and 2 pt conv) game is seen as a negative. lol



The way we NEED to be looking at the remainder of this season is "how far can we get with a rookie QB who is only just now being treated as anything more than the backup covering while the starter recovers from an injury". This effects game planning, play installation, everything. Kyle Allen the last couple of weeks has let the deep throws fly after 4 weeks of not really even looking for it. This says, pretty clearly, that he is being asked to alter his role and do more which is fine and expected. Now we need him to grow and learn from game to game and really, drive to drive. And I think he is. He's not going to be playing like a top QB or top draft pick and expecting him to is stupid.

Enjoy the ride, nerds. Kyle Allen will help us win games and keep us in 'em, but expecting a dominant performance where he carries the team is not a thing he does as of now and that is OK. We can win out, we can finish 8-8, we can lose out. This is exciting. For years, having Cam spoiled us and made us believe that ANY year could be a SB run because we have Cam fuging Newton. Now that he is gone (at least for this season), we can sit back and just be surprised and less let down than normal when things don't go our way. As fans, we're in a good spot. Now AFTER this season......oof.

Packers are very good due to Rodgers but I wouldn't say the best. Their defense has been ranked in the bottom twenties.

We played the best team in the NFC 3 weeks ago and that...didn't go well.

Allen has played pretty well and deserves a chance to be our Qb goin forward

Arguing otherwise to that wasn't the point... I already stated my opinion on evaluating him moving forward and confirmed he should receive the benefit of the doubt until the season is over.

That has nothing to do with being honest about our performance against superior level of competition though. We played the best well rounded team in the NFL beyond the Ravens, and Patriots, and we were absolutely smacked around. That's just reality.

    • I still think it's too soon to say last year's draft was bad. I think those who do are the eternal pessimists. We had 4 players who contributed last season. Two were starters. It's possible all 4 are starters this season. How is that a bad draft? I know it's because our roster was so bad but still, they are on this roster so it's the only one that counts.  Before I say it's a bad draft I prefer to wait and see how they play this season. It's possible we may have FIVE starters from that draft playing the season. Anyone who thinks drafting 5 starters by season two is a bad draft should visit a psychiatrist where they can get a prescription to help them live happier lives.    I'm not saying it was a success yet but I damn sure ain't calling it a failure yet. Most players don't make it. Most of those who do need a little time. One season isn't enough time which is why they are still on the team Leggete, Coker (UDFA but still we got him), Sanders, Smith-Wade and Wallace all showed promise last season. If they all take a step forward then it was a great draft. If only 1 does than it was an average draft. If they regress then and only then will I say it was a bad draft.  Fans often have unreasonable expectations compared to the reality of draft results. I believe this draft will shine as I think it's going to better due to the depth of the class but I also believe we will look back at 2024 and say that was a good class too. I think we have 5 players from that class who will be starters or rotational pieces for the next couple of years at least. That's a win.     
    • Playing devils adovcate here, but if you truly wanted to trade down then it made no sense to be a smoke screen for Walker only.  Especially since Tmac is not a generational type player.  Make it known that he is in play and see if the cowboys or whoever really like him as rumored. 
    • I mean everybody was, there is a difference between wanting them to draft the guy you like and accepting them drafting someone else based off all the intel and rumors. Up until draft night everybody was convinced it was gonna be walker or maybe another defensive player. If you didn't you was just crossing your fingers.
