Kyle Allen is dead last in PFF's QB Rankings

Yeah as much as Kyle's play has sucked, I damn sure ain't trying to watch Wills growing pains right now. 

Why not?    Literally nothing to lose.    This season is completely over.     If Will comes in and sucks, we get a better draft pick and see what he has.   If he comes in and lights it up, we know what we have.     There is no reason to not play him.

Or maybe that's just what he is. Good sometimes and bad others. Inconsistent 

i was thinking yesterday he's starting to remind me of mariotta.   some games its like WOW we've really got something, others its head scratching and mind numbing.   i def don't want to take 5 years to make a decision like tn did. i'd rather take a qb in the 1st round and start securing the interior of the line in the middle rounds and see what happens.  i also don't wanna see marty get the fever and decide we're a few players away from a SB and mortgage our future for it, again.

He has shown enough to allow him to compete for the job though. He could make a big jump this off-season or he could crash and burn. Who knows.

Or, better yet, we could hire some guys to block for him.  That'd be a new turn of events.

Jesus you guys are fickle. 

You can really tell who became a fan after Cam got here and who has no idea what actual terribly consistent QB play looks like. 

I get it, we've been spoiled with Cam and his greatness, but this kid is all of 23 years old. He CAN get better. Younger players tend to do that. Cumulatively his stats are very similar to the 3rd overall pick last year Sam Darnold and Jets fans are THRILLED to have him for the future:

Am I saying Kyle Allen is the future of the franchise? No. Should you guys cut the kid some slack? Jesus yes. Not every good/decent QB wins rookie of the year, is a dual threat and once in a generation athlete. Some take time to develop. If nothing else, the kid looks like a solid backup that gives you a good chance to win if your starter gets hurt. 

Have some perspective and chill, damn.

Not long ago Sam Darnold had a game so bad he admitted he was seeing ghosts out there on the field. But even he was able to muster enough "grit" to lead his team to a win over a hapless 2 win Washington team.

Raise the bar dudes. Stop trying to convince yourselves why only 5 wins is actually a good thing.

I always tell people that Jamies Winston gets murdered for being a turnover machine, even though he has games where he looks like he can be an elite guy. There are no moral victories in the NFL, especially at the QB position where guys like Foles can be earning $88m/4 years.

Sam Darnold is not good. This. Does. Not. Help. Your. Argument.

    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset. 
    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…
