Carson Palmer's brother Jordan talks about Kyle Allen.
“I do know Kyle. I’ve been paying attention since high school, and I’ve had a lot of conviction on him for a long time. So I’m not surprised at all he’s in this position, and I’m not going to be surprised at all when he plays really, really well and this offense really starts clicking.”
That’s a bold prediction, as Allen completed only 52.9% of his passes and had no touchdown passes in four preseason games.
Palmer has worked with Allen since he was at Desert Mountain High in Scottsdale. He has seen enough to believe that when surrounded by the first-team line and do-it-all running back Christian McCaffrey -- neither was at his disposal most of the preseason -- the offense will be as explosive as Allen promised it would be coming out of training camp.
“He’s going to go through his progressions, and he’s going to throw and anticipate your timing; and the moment is not going to be too big for him, and he’s going to play really composed, good, execution football,” said Palmer, the younger brother of former three-time Pro Bowl quarterback Carson Palmer.
“He got benched for two different schools for players who at the time weren’t as good as him, in my opinion,” Palmer said. “Two completely different situations he got the short end of the stick, and he always handled himself the right way; he always took ownership and took on blame.”
“I always felt Kyle Allen would be a first- or second-round pick coming out of college if he had a good college career,” Palmer said. “Unfortunately, he got the short end of the stick twice.
“But he never wavered, and it was always a matter of time before he got a chance.”
