Healthy cam is better however he is not. He made some nice throws... maybe no one wants to get hurt on the D in a meaningless game but they don’t want to look stupid. Anyone who was a backup played there hearts out... unless you are a star that is your career... game plan who knows but besides a couple of guys out there they were playing to get a check another year.

Damn. I don’t remember that many bootlegs. Assume we will see a bunch of those tomorrow to help our porous OL.  

Well done Ellis!!!

Allen is actually very mobile (so is Grier). He's also capable of being a half-decent occasional run threat, but I think a lot of people don't quite perceive him that way. 

Side Note,: People often use the terms "mobile" and "run threat" with regard to quarterbacks as if they were synonymous. They really aren't.

A mobile quarterback is one who can move around in the pocket and take off running if necessary. They might make a play with their legs every once in a while but you don't want to count on that.

A run threat quarterback on the other hand is an actual weapon in the run game (and one that opposing DCs fear). You want to send them on designed runs three or four times a game because they're capable of doing just as much damage as a running back when used properly.

Most pro quarterbacks not named Dan Marino are at least some level of "mobile" (heck, even Jake Delhomme showed DeAngelo Hall  some moves once). Not as many are run threats.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
