It seems like a remember an interview with Tepper where he said something along the lines of we can not go into next year without a back up plan for Cam.  

At the bottom of the third can anyone really be that certain about any future pro bowlers.  This is where you take a risk on a backup QB and hope he can develop. 

Unless Cam forgets to wear a tie on a road trip, he ain’t developing on Sundays

I loves Allen's performance against the Saints. But let's remember he got hurt in his only start. Same as Heinicke. I think they like a big guy like Grier and think neither of the guys we have are durable enough. I wonder how their rehabs are going. Maybe the Panthers know something about Allen and Heinicke that we don't.

I have a feeling that Allen is the real deal as a fringe starter. Back ups don’t come in like that and just light  it up with those kind of touch passes. He was clearly better than Heinicke.

They are doing the same with Moton. Dude comes in and plays lights out at LT in live action and don’t let him play there again all year. They are too loyal to is “supposed to start” and who is “supposed to be better”.

so basically Hurney drafted 3 backups and traded a pick away. pretty cool guys

Best GM in the Game bruh...

[SmartyHurney]

Are we just in love with him because he's good looking and from NC? Everything I'm reading says he's a 4+ round player with a weak arm, and potentially just a product of a system. So far the best grade I've read is C.

What's all this bull about "value"?

Don't we already have 2 backup QB's 

Hurney is collecting as  many shetty QBs as possible

If you've got two backup QBs, you've got zero backup QBs.

Yeah they are not backups like I've been trying to tell all of u, especially the ones that said oh Allen looked like he should start after beating 3rd and 4th stringers at NO

Your conclusion is correct but your rationale is wrong. Allen hasn't shown he is durable enough and might still be rehabbing so he might not be our backup. But he looked great which just confirms how potent this offense is that a guy in his first start looked so good.

I understand. They went according to the draft board. Only thing annoying about this pick is that the racist element of this fanbase will want WG starting the sec Cam turns the ball over. 

You’re the only one who is bringing up the racist element.

At least the canes are gonna be good for the foreseeable future. Panthers going nowhere with these trash ass picks.

I definitely told yall fools that we aren't picking a S but every year you act like you've never heard of Ron Rivera....lol.

[MillionDollarCam]

He has Mayfieldesque accuracy so there’s that...

The issue with Grier comes when defenses disguise different looks, luckily he has one of the best post-snap QB’s in the NFL to learn from.

If he shows out in the preseason or in a few games (if needed) we can trade him for a pick in a few years.

Watch film and u would know. All everyone cares about is Newton, and he has been beaten to death. We don't know if he can last a season. No way anybody can convince me that Allen is the answer. If u think so then u need to quit watching football!
