Why would Allen be the #2? His contract is nothing comparted to TH. That tells you pretty much what they think of both of them. One got a lot of respect financially and the other basically got peanuts.

I think there is a "competition" for all 3 spots. But the real competition is between Heinicke and Allen for No. 2. May the best man win.

Allen got less because he was an exclusive rights free agent (ERFA).

ERFA: Any player with fewer than three accrued seasons and an expired contract. If his original team offers him a one-year contract and the league minimum (based on his credited seasons), the player cannot negotiate with other teams.

I wonder whether Montez is a candidate to switch to TE, he is clearly not going to make it as a QB in the league, and given his size and athleticism it would make more sense than keeping him on the roster as a QB weapon ala Taysom Hill, if indeed Ben Standig is accurate in his report on the thought process of the coaching staff

Just a thought, but my last word on Montez, I have wasted too many characters on practice squad QBs already

Do you really think TH leapfrogged Allen based on that 1 game?

The contracts are irrelevant in trying to determine who's the QB2 or 3, Allen was paid based on his ERFA status which pays less than the RFA status TH had.

True, but you can also take the view that if they thought Allen was the better #2 option, why offer TH a contract at all, let alone the amount he got?

I reckon their thinking went like this; TH showed well in the TB game and everyone really got behind him. If we lose out in FA and the draft we need a guy to at least start the season everyone can buy into as a potential starter. Allen got hurt badly and hadn't shown a lot to that point, but he knows the system, we know what we have in him and we need the depth at this point. We're at low exposure if we tender him as he has to sign, and if he can't come back from the ankle, then it's a minimal hit.

If I'm right the clear thinking right now is Fitz is #1, TH #2, Allen #3 and Montez will either not survive camp or (as suggested) be tried out at another position. If we do draft a QB again, then they'll likely be going up against Allen for a PS spot (assuming Allen is still eligible).

Yes. Playoff game as well as the one where he came in off the bench.
