There’s very little we know right now. We know Houston’s next, and we know Allen has been good. If it’s a Lisfranc injury, you’d be lucky to get Cam back at all this year. Depending on the degree of it, which again, is an unknown.

If Allen lights the board up the next two weeks I would figure Cam gets IRed with return status. If Cam comes back to early from this he could permanently disable himself.

I’m proud of KA for carrying over the momentum from the New Orleans game. But it gets harder this week.

Definitely.

Bill Parcells once famously said of a player who looked good in his first few starts "Don't be fitting him for his gold jacket just yet." It takes several starts, honestly more than a season, before you really know what you've got in a player.

That works both ways, though.

During his rookie season, Ryan Kalil remembers teammates laughing at him for how many mistakes he made. His "Rookie Handbook" is built on stories like that. And by the way, he only turned out to be the best center in Panthers history.

Like I said, everybody wants to be the one to say "I called it first". I say quit trying to be Nostradumbass and take the time to make sure you get your opinion right.

What Allen gives the panthers at worst is what the rest of the team is capable of. People have complained for years about the lack of Oline help and offensive weapons that the team has given CAM. The next few months will prove 1 of 3 things:

1. Allen struggles and we realize there isn't a capable backup plan at QB and the offensive weapons, protection, or game plan is the issue, not Cam

2. Allen does okay, maybe goes .500 or a bit under and it proves that the the weapons, protection and game plan are sufficient and Cam should be able to execute once healthy. Then the only question is, once he is healthy, will he???

3. Allen does well and we start to question what we thought was the unthinkable. Maybe Cam can't cut it anymore.

Regardless, I think if nothing else, we will get some clarity on the supporting cast over the next months.

I think that's how you will see DJ Moore turn out. His Rookie season was woof.

I'm good with that. Let him get fully healthy and itching to get out on the field again. He's seemed a little defeated on the field this season, and that's not normal. I'd like to see him out there playing like his hair is on fire again. 

We'd be 3-0 if Cam had been able to show decent touch on intermediate throws in the first two games. Allen has shown that he can do that. We've got a defense that can keep us in games if we can generate 20+ points and take care of the ball. I believe Allen can do that with our starters.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
