The kid leaves A&M and everyone here blames Sumlin. He goes to UH and finally gets to start and gives the ball up so many times he is benched by that team and rarely plays again. Are we still supposed to blame Sumlin? Did UH not have QB coaches and offensive coordinators?

Perhaps he just wasn't all that good?

Troll


How is this a troll?
I think L understands, but C doesn't quite get it. Time for a mindshare session?
I think both C and L have hit too many mimosas already.

He deserves the best. I hope he achieves it!

Just curious, but why does he deserve the best? Came to A&M as 5-star QB and was mediocre (if that) during his time here. He then quits on his team/school and transfers to nearby UH, where he continues to be terrible and loses the starting job (again), then quits on that team/school to go pro. Appears to have been entitled from Day 1, and a bust every step of the way.

You think someone deserves less than their best life just because they didn't play a game as well as you would have liked him to? How sad for you.

That's about the most inaccurate KA perspective I've read.

It's already been hashed out on multiple threads. KA bailed us out of Hill's implosion and garnered a Liberty Bowl win + MVP as a true freshman.

The kid then started 5-0, had 2 rough games with a possible injury, and is suddenly a bust. As a Sophomore in the SEC, he played hard, dealt with an unfortunate QB controversy, and never disgraced the university.

UH didn't turn out well for him but he never quit on his team - he graduated and made a career decision. The hate for KA never makes much sense.

We might have others in our program's history.

I'm a Kyle Allen fan.


Very interesting.

The kid has talent or he wouldn't have been the #1 QB recruit coming out of HS.

The situation with allowing Cryler's daddy to dictate the playing times of our QBs to Sumlin was always weird. Glad both of them are in our rear view mirror now.

KA had flashes of brilliance here that is undeniable. The OT win against Arkansas was fantastic and heart breaking for Arkansas fans. Few other games i can't recall details. It is also true he had bad games too and he made bad decision to bail,,,

never the less, wish him the best of luck

Yeah, well, until he bailed on us right before a bowl game.

That said, given what Sumlin apparently did to him vs Ole Mi$$ I can't hardly blame him. I wish him luck.

hard to hate on him when my A&M friends and I road tripped to Auburn in 2014 and he played a heck of a game to beat the #3 team in the country at home. Made for a great road trip.

Also amazing how in some of our "best" wins we still choked and barely held on by the skin of our teeth.

well said. I've posted this elsewhere, but KA threw for 32 TDs and 11 INTs in every other game other than the Pick 6 Bama game. 9-5 as a starter over 2 tumultuous seasons as a FR and SOPH, not someone who had the luxury of red shirting and starting 14 games as a 3rd year SOPH or 4th year JR. he was also an early enrolee. the kid wanted to compete and has a passion for the game.

Kyle Allen should have been benched for good after the 3 pick 6s against Alabama. Unfortunately Sumlin kept giving him chance after chance to screw the team. At least Cougar High had the sense to shut him down for good.

What exactly did Sumlin do to Kyle vs. Ole Miss. I never was clear on that.

He has a shoulder injury and didn't reveal kyler was benched until the following week. Never even put in Jake. Kyle could barely throw the ball. Remember the Myles Garrett gif? It was pathetic.

Oh right...I didn't realize that was Ole Miss...I knew he was hurt against Alabama, the kid could barely throw...

a typical short sighted and blustery response from yet another irrational Kyle Allen hater.

do you also feel that the entire OL, RBs, and WR's (that let an Alabama defender run all the way to the endzone unscathed 2 of the 3 times) should have been benched for good also?

Maybe someone could have tackled the guy somewhere in the 90 yards he was running with it. Twice.

Not excusing the INTs but the effort by the offense was horrible.

Seriously, who cares? Either way it makes zero difference in any of our lives. He'll be selling life insurance after a few attempts at the nfl.
