Kyle Allen more than holding his own with other 2018 drafted QBs

FACTS:  Through his first 9 games, Allen is holding his own or exceeding the performance of QBs drafted in 2018, when the Panthers acquired him.  IF we'd taken him in the first three rounds this board would be talking about him like we got a STEAL given his performance compared with the round 1 QBs, let alone losers who were drafted that year not worth mentioning they are so bad like Rosen, Falk, Lauletta, etc. 

The board should be doing cartwheels and somersaults.  The team has done the rarest thing in football, which is to find a potentially franchise QB, and at minimum one playing like a first rounder, for free.

Let's not pretend some of those other QBs don't have suboptimal offensive conditions around them. Plus, QB rating is as big of a sham as completion percentage.

Kyle has done great playing above average of his expected value (backup QB) and keeping the offense afloat for the most part. 

However, he's not close to being a franchise QB. Let's not kid ourselves into thinking he is one right now. Will need to see him better his decision-making process, far less underthrown deep balls, and essentially get the rudimentary basics of an starting NFL caliber QB right now.

i mostly agree with the results here but uhhh analytics still hasn’t figured out how to account for the kirk cousins effect. bottom left makes a little more sense than top right. problem with allen is he doesn’t have some elite set of tools to dream on. pretty close to maxed out rn. only hope is that he becomes an elite decision maker. he really is case keenum isn’t he

Yes, that’s what I was getting at with the graph. He’s a solid backup and can win you some games, but that’s it. I agree the bottom left is more accurate than than the top right. I will say though, the top right guys are playing at very high level, even though Cousins has been poop for years and even the first few weeks of the season, he has played well of the last three weeks.

It's still a little to early to say he's a franchise QB or a career backup. Right now, he's playing well above expectations and winning more than he's losing, throwing more TDs than interceptions, and having some problems with fumbles. 

He does, however, seem to have a certain poise that says the game isn't too big or fast for him and he seems to be learning how to pilot an NFL team on the fly. Not too shabby. 

He's our guy right now, and that's really all that matters. Start worrying about 2020 around March.

      And that's totally fair to say, but I think it also shows you guys are conflating what I'm saying with thinking I'm saying something like, "T-Mac will 100% have a better NFL career than Chark had" which is a completely different statement and one I'd agree, you can't really say about any NFL player before they've ever taken a snap. Because what I'm saying, is that T-Mac's actual ability and skills right now, are at a higher level than Chark's ever were, it's a completely different statement that is independent of what his NFL output will be. But even with those other prospects, I'm sure some of them before their NFL career started, still had more ability and physical talent than Chark had, because again, this is so much less about T-Mac and so much more about Chark.  A bad coach, system, QB, injuries, etc, that derail a WR's career no matter how good they may have been and is much more of the reason they were a bust than their own abilities.   Chark was a tall WR with little WR speed, he was a deep ball threat and wasn't even particularly great at it, he was not that good of an actual WR. If the Jags had another above average WR in 2019, then Chark doesn't get his 1k season that I think people are getting too hung up on in thinking he was some great player in this league.

      I've just seen enough highly touted prospects who pretty much everyone was high on end up busting to assume anything.

      Maybe, but a player can also bust for a lot of reasons.  And I'm not about to go look up the stats of all the 1st round WR busts, but I'd be surprised if they had the sustained output and success in college that T-Mac had.  Those early WR busts are usually guys who had one breakout season and then were highly drafted because of physical potential, not already built out ability. I'm not even saying T-Mac is 100% going to have a better career than Chark (although I obviously think he will). I'm just saying that right now, his skill level and ability is better than Chark's ever was, and I don't understand how anyone is arguing against that, not because of T-Mac, but because of who Chark himself was.   If you want to take the argument that you can't say ANY player who hasn't played a down yet can't be considered better than someone who has, then so be it (even though I'd say that's a dumb stance anyways). At his peak ability, Chark was more like a #3 WR than anything else, he was the definition of a league average WR.  If you don't think a Top 10 selected WR with his tape is better than that just because they haven't played in the NFL yet, then you're just stuck on the "he hasn't played a down yet" idea and can't evaluate them as players and abilities.
