We need to extend Allen.

He can’t even be a restricted free agent until 2022. We own his exclusive rights for the next 3 seasons and do so at the rookie minimum. Absolutely zero reason to extend him and waste cap space. For free agency purposes, he is basically a rookie.

He can’t be unrestricted until 2023, but we would definitely need to extend him before he becomes an RFA if he keeps it up. All we can do is put a 1st round tender on him and if he is a franchise QB some would happily give him a huge deal and give up the 1st to us. We could match obviously but then you are letting another team dictate the terms of the deal and it could be designed to make it prohibitive for us to match it.

If he turns out to be the real deal, we could have quite the sudden salary cap boon on our hands.  We could really build one hell of a team to surround Allen with if we were able to spend 30 million a year elsewhere for the next 2 or 3 seasons.

I have to agree he had one fantastic game.

So did Matt Flynn, Rob Johnson, Chris Weinke and others before falling back to Earth.

Always wait and see...

Wait wait wait. Weinke had a fantastic game?

Well, we did win one game with him as quarterback. I think he even had a rushing touchdown.

Given the state of the rest of the team at the time I would count his one win the only candidate as his "best" game as a pro.  Fantastic compared to everyone else that game.  Shiniest turd sort of way.

Such a pendulum shift on Allen in just a few weeks.

We go from "Allen is so bad, Hurney should be fired for not trading for a back up QB, and Rivera should be fired for saying he is fine with our back up situation"

To after one game "Allen is the future of the Panthers, get rid of Cam".  I feel like at this point there is still more bad tape on Allen than good.  Lets calm down and see what happens these next few weeks.

He had some great games.  Unfortunately for us, they all happened when he was at Florida State.

He had a good game. If it continues, yes. If not, no. Let's wait and see instead of all of these knee jerk reactions.

Every game he plays well makes his price go up

I'm saying it right now. No matter what happens with the Texans he needs to be here 3 more years. I love Cam but I love this team more and paying a now injury prone QB doesn't make sense. We could actually save money and use it to sure up our Oline. Letting Allen walk into FA would be a huge mistake for us. 

The only thing that's going to be extended is Cam's large penis during insertion tonight with his GF

This is what I’m saying. Not saying throw a lot of money at him but if you can get him on a cheap deal now might as well. He’s at least a serviceable backup.
