What makes Kyle Allen so much better than Will Grier aside from how he’s better at fumbling and he’s blind? Neither is a solid #2.

Allen got the fumbling mostly under control and actually has won some games in the NFL.   Until the wheels came completely off the entire team, he looked like a very viable option as a #2.  I suspect you are jaded now and not objective since he posed a threat to Cam coming back, either real or just perceived by some here on the huddle.  He's a blight to you now, so I don't expect you to be objective in anything positive regarding Allen.

As far as Grier goes, I hate to see any member of this team fail, but I have stated that I didn't like the pick from word go.  It's not Grier's fault Hurney had a boner for him and drafted him way too high.  Would I like Will to at least give the Saints a run for their money this week?  Absolutely!   Will it actually happen? Probably not.

All things considered ( dog poo coaching, offensive line, receivers ) I think he did ok for his first taste of the NFL. Worth hanging on to him and seeing if he can progress to being a solid backup for years to come.

He looked way better in his progressions and but has a little problem controlling the cannon arm...wich I kinda love because that means he can learn to control it with game time. I wish he would have played weeks ago, needed the game experience. Hope he has DJ next week if healthy.

At this point in time, Allen is a significantly better passer.  Grier struggled with anything past a dump off; Allen has thrown some impressive balls right up to 25 yards (and then he generally sucks).  Grier could improve for sure, and I hope he does, but as of last week, Allen was the superior quarterback.  But Grier has some real nice traits that could mean he has higher upside.  We'll see.

Yes Kyle got a few wins when the team was able to carry him and hide his faults.. You're correct..

I'd like to see Allen start since he can at least complete passes down field.

Do what? Are we watching the same games? He barely throws past the line of scrimmage most of the time. You could count on one hand how many successful deep passes we've had the last several weeks.

I'm talking in comparison to Grier since those are our only 2 options. Are you trying to imply Grier is a better option? Allen checked the ball down a lot in his last start against Seattle, but prior to that game he completed a good number of passes down field. DJ Moore is 5th in the league for receiving yards.  Allen's turnovers have been his undoing.

He was bad against a bad defense. NO will be playing for playoff seeding. They have a good defense. The mercy rule should be in effect for games like this.

Don't think Payton knows what that is.  On the other hand, he may rest his starters once they get 3 tds ahead.

      Canales is in most critical point of his tenure

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      Canales is in the middle of the most critical point of his Panthers tenure: The 2nd half of the 2nd season. Looking back here is how the other head coaches performed to this point and how their time here pivoted. Dom Capers First 26 Games: 13-13 2nd Half of 2nd Season: (1996) won final 7 games to win division, took Panthers to NFC Championship Game. Final Record/Accomplishments: 30-34; NFC West Division Title-1996 George Seifert First 26 Games: 12-14 2nd Half of 2nd Season: (2000) Finished 3-3 with mixed results in games; finished 1-15 the following season. Final Record/Accomplishments: 16-32; None. John Fox First 26 Games: 15-11 2nd Half of 2nd Season: (2003) corrected the season after a strong start and mid-year stumble to win division, Won NFC Championship Game. Final Record/Accomplishments: 73-71; (1) Conference Championship; (3) Playoff Appearances; (2) Division Titles. Ron Rivera First 26 Games: 8-18 2nd Half of 2nd Season: (2012) Won 5/6 remaining games; finished 12-4 following season and won division. Final Record/Accomplishments: 76-63-1; (1) Conference Championship; (4) Playoff Appearances; (3) Division Titles; (2) COY Awards Matt Rhule First 26 Games: 10-16 2nd Half of 2nd Season: (2021) Lost final 7 games in a row, terminated 5 games into following season. Final Record/Accomplishments: 11-27; None. Dave Canales First 26 Games: 10-16 2nd Half of 2nd Season: TBD Final Record/Accomplishments: TBD The writing was on the wall at the end of Rhule and Seifert’s 2nd season, while Capers, Fox, and Rivera all finished strong and rallied. To be fair, Capers 1997 and 1998 seasons weren’t great, but he was faced with adversity and still managed to leave with at least one successful season...thanks to the second half of his 2nd season.

      Honestly unless the Packers WR in the end zone was disqualified from tackling, he was literally right behind him ready to tackle him at the 5 yard line. Probably better he dropped it field position wise unless people think Mike Jack has Ted Ginn speed or something.
