Second-year quarterback Kyle Allen has started all of three games in his young NFL career. In those three starts we’ve seen some surprisingly outstanding play (Week 2’s four touchdowns) along with some expected rookie mistakes (Week 3’s three lost fumbles). Guess what? In 2011 we saw the exact same pattern through Cam Newton’s first three games. Let’s break down what we saw in Cam’s first three starts compared to Allen’s and see what we can learn from a very small sample size.
