Kyle Allen Value?

Postby Pete Carroll's Gum » Mon Sep 23, 2019 8:35 pm

The Cam owner is asking me about Kyle Allen. He only has 1 starter with Cam out and QBs are hard to come by.

He’s offering any of the following WRs for Kyle Allen, and possibly his 2020 3rd (late).

Cain, Hamilton, Gallup, Jeffery, Zay Jones, D. Thomas and Quinn.

Any of those worth it?

I doubt Keenum is the starter much longer so I won’t have a 3rd starter at some point. If Cam ends up being out longer than expected or they shut him down for the season, Allen could be a game changer for me. Lamar could get hurt at any time...

Thoughts? I’m leading the league in points with Melvin Gordon sitting out, if that helps.

Cain, Hamilton, Zay, Demariyus, Trey Quinn = No

Gallup = Possibly

Jeffery = Ehhhh

The thing is, Cam hasn't been healthy all offseason and news just literally broke that he may have a Lisfranc fracture...which could mean 6-8 weeks. With what Allen showed the other day, I'm holding him until I get a good 2nd or God forbid, a 1st.

Yeah I am thinking the same thing. I countered asking for a 1st. We'll see where it goes.

Shoot for the stars and work your way back down.

Allen was a highly touted 5* QB and took a very odd collegiate path, would be pretty crazy to see him become a thing. He's got prime opportunity now.

I think he is, easily. After the lisfranc announcement at least. This could be a changing of the guard if Cam can't come back this year and Allen looks as good as he did.

I'd counter with Allen + 3rd for Gallup + 2nd.

Get a first or hold. I'm gambling if I've got Allen, especially in SF. Why screw around with a second or some JAG? If Allen hits, he could be worth quite a bit. If he flames out, you missed out on a second. I'd shove all in and try to make a big move later.

Well I still have Allen. I’ve been reading articles that suggest that he will potentially keep the job even when Cam comes back. They also said that Cam is a trade candidate due to his high salary and injury concerns.

What to do with Allen? Cam owner might be willing to give his 2021 1st. I’m in win now mode so a 2021 1st doesn’t sound that enticing. If Cam gets traded or cut, Allen is worth more than a 1st in 2QB league.

If you're stuck starting him every week, then it might be tough to get rid of him...even for a good price as you say you're contending.

But, should Cam come back, Allen's value immediately plummets until CAR decides what to do with Cam in the offseason or if he stinks it up the rest of 2019.

From a points standpoint, Allen hasn't done much since his 1st week starting and a 2021 1st would more than likely turn into a pick where you could grab a QB next year...but is Tua/Fromm/Herbert/Burrow a better gamble than Allen? You'd like to think so but who knows.

I'd absolutely take a 2021 1st. Odds are that that pick would get you a player far better than Allen. Even if he keeps the job this year, he doesn't look like he will ever be more than a low-end QB2.

And, of course, he could be back on the bench in a matter of weeks...

He said he won't do the 2021 1st... Maybe he'll do it once Cam comes back and we know more of what the Panthers are doing.

Just the kind of game that Allen could not have. I think losing to SF "respectably" wouldn't have been held against him but that was a meltdown.

SF's defense is legitimate, so you take it with a grain but I imagine we'll see Cam sooner rather than later if healthy.
