I was going to say the same thing - I thought he was about as bad as could be in that game - slow reads - slow throws.  
 

I am happy for him, but it only goes as long as the D and the running game takes them.

 

As with a number of QB's / SB winners (and not yet participated SB contestants).

5 TD's no INT's...66.7% Completion percentage, 107 QB rating in 3 games...

 

However now teams have film on him...it will be interesting to see what happens from game 5 to the end of the season....I'm going to guess he starts dropping off like Wentz did

 

How much of that is because of just dumping passes to a McCaffrey though?  

 

He hasn’t been asked to put the team on his back and win them a game yet, he’s just being asked to get the ball to McCaffrey and not take chances.  

 

So too early to make any real conclusions on him.  He’s looked more like a backup QB playing as a game manager more to me than a future franchise QB.  But to be fair to Allen, that’s also all he’s been asked to do.  

 

I mean McCaffrey is averaging 170 yards per game, which is insane.

    He was 6 of 16 on passes over 5 yards yesterday.

    So far, 2 of 7 on passes ( in air) of 20 or more.

    First three games 5 sack for five fumbles. He fumbled again yesterday but they recovered the ball.

     The Panthers are getting HOF level play from CMC. Their D is also holding up their end( till yesterday?)

    

WE have the Right Josh AND Allen?

That's what McCaffrey is, a future Hall of Famer was really depressed we didn't trade up for him, also wanted to trade back up for TJ Watt after. Thankfully we got a great player that year for once.

I'm skeptical of Minshew and Allen. Let's see them play some more.

Minshew II is a keeper, Kyle Allen, meh.

Wentz had a MVP season in his 2nd year

In an alternate universe, you put him on our team currently and we are in the SB contention mix.

That is insane.  On the other hand, Kyle Allen is averaging ~225 YPG, of which only about 1/4 go to McCaffrey...so there is more than McCaffrey to his game.
