For years, we Panther fans have been a proud bunch in defense Cam Newton from the slightest criticism of his passing ability. Consistently talking about how Cam's running is more a product of his passing prowess rather than his ability to pass is significantly assisted by his ability to run. Kyle Allen, once again, showed us what a pure pocket quarterback looks like in a Norv Turner offense. Yes, we played the Cardinals. However the Cardinals looked a lot worse yesterday than at any point in the preceding two weeks, even in their worst spots against the Lions. 

My take on this is that you let Cam rest until you're certain that he's healthy, and even then, you don't bring him back if Allen is still playing well. Is this Cam's team? Yes. But Allen showed what many of us had hoped to have seen from this offense since the announcement of Turner's hiring was made. 

If Cam can't make the anticipatory throws needed from a QB who can't run as well, he needs to sit. If the Panthers don't plan on incorporated Cam's legs back into the game, he needs to sit. If Cam can't move around the pocket and take advantage of bootleg plays to move the pocket from pressure, while accurately reading the field, he needs to sit. 

Is Allen the long-term answer? No one knows. But I do feel that without Cam's ability to run or at least be a threat to manipulate the pocket with his feet, he is a bottom 16 QB in this league.

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
