Hobbled Allen vs. "Fresh" Delaire?

And I realize that Kony will get the start but watching Delaire not active week after week has been bothering me.  

I'm confident that if active you would see him with some healthy number of plays in the rotation.  This is the time of year when his speed off the edge could really make a difference.

Sit Allen, let the young boys feast. 

We're not playing Russel Wilson so we dont have to worry about containment. Let delaire pin his ears back and rush the passer every play. Make it a game time decision.... 

I'm sure the Cards wont be looking at Ryan Delaire film.

Is Allen at 80% better than Delaire at 100%? I don't know and that call is for the Panthers staff to make. I like that it might force their hand to have them both up. The one thing we truly need on Sunday is fresh legs rushing the passer and if having Allen and Delaire available on some key 3rd downs I'm all for it. Jared Allen is playing on heart and drive at this point. He will make a play on Sunday, might be THE PLAY. You can't make this stuff up and let's be honest, this whole season has been made for a storybook.

Idc. If Allen wants to play let him play. Just don't start him. We need as much pass rushers as we can. Someone else can sit

If Allen is active than Delaire is liable to be inactive.

So, speed on the edge is not the only reason I would be in favor of seeing Allen sit this one out.  What if he gets in game mode and feels a twinge?  We would have his replacement in street clothes.

    • You absolutely can have hope. You can’t convert people though; making advocacy posts are kind of … not reading the room.   I had a small hope that he would be able to at least manage some games and that they could make it work in some kind of no fun to watch fashion.  But honestly I had 100% determined he was not NFL starter material, and I had conviction. So to root for him to marginally succeed goes against the best interest of the Panthers long term, according to my beliefs. I wanted him gone the minute he got here if I am honest.It was up to him to prove otherwise.  He has rarely shown me anything to think I was wrong on his ceiling.  He did show me some courage last year, standing in the pocket and stepping into his throw in the face of pressure - but that has gone somewhere. He made some nice throws last year in places too, but they invested in him on the level of the Atlanta game should be his norm. Good luck seeing that again on Sunday. Still, he did it once, so technically it could happen again. 
    • Damn that was a longer post than I intended, Maybe I should have started a new thread.
    • On that TD, he sure didn't get any help from Scott at FS! While we're pointing out Blue Chips...Horn has proven to be a lock-down, (dare I say)elite CB and DB is one of the best at DT. Which brings me to a topic that has unfortunately been much on my mind lately...2026. Our important (IMO) FAs are: Rico Dowdle - As you pointed out, Etienne is developing nicely and Brooks is still untested potential, so not a big loss. Cade Mays and Brady Christensen - I think we can keep both without breaking the bank. BC tested the market this year and it was all but non-existent. He's a solid backup, but backup linemen don't get paid. Mayes is our only starter on the line who's a FA and he's technically not a starter. Corbett is a FA, but good riddance as far as I'm concerned. He stays hurt and can't snap the damn ball when he is healthy. Hunter Renfrow signed a 1 -year prove it deal, and will resign a team friendly deal again I think. He has repeatedly said that he only wants to play here and is Coker's backup anyway. DJ Wonnum - Solid mid-tier guy that I would like back, but is easily replaceable. I will not cry if he walks. Every other FA is bottom of the barrel roster fillers. As it stands now, we need (in order); QB, ILB, OL/DL depth, secondary depth. If we resign Mays, OL is in tact again and still pretty darned good. Horne, Jackson, and Smith-Wade are solid starters as are T-mac and Coker. We have some promising young WRs in Tremayne and Horn. I see us trying to get a FA Chain mover and/or resign Renfrow. RB room looks really good. TE is a conundrum, Tremble will never be a great pass catcher and Sanders will never be a great blocker. Evans is starting to show signs of life, but not enough to tell yet. This could be another spot we try to upgrade via free agency, having a proven TE could really help our rookie QB.
