He senses pressure much better than most quarterbacks do with his level of experience in the pros. He doesn’t have a rocket of an arm, but that’s not really that important in Norv’s offense. And before you jump on my ass about it, Kyle has a good arm. He doesn’t have a rocket. He delivers a high velocity ball with pretty damn good accuracy. It’s perfect for this offense.

I really hope he can keep this up...at least until cam can get back healthy and competitive again (if he can).

trying to keep myself from getting too hyped up about allen. I keep telling myself that it was just one game, but it was an amazing game. felt good to have the team looking so good. it's been too long. reminded me of before cam's shoulder started bugging out last year.

Does baldinger owe us money or something 

Don't know how any legit reporter could evaluate it differently, but he has been a source of hope for us.

Here is the key---get rid of the ball quickly this week, but shift to max protect (disguise it) and go deep on occasion.  Run CMC at their pass pressure.  A good game plan could beat Texas, from what I have seen.

I agree, but he showed us a good game in 2018 and we made excuses--preseason game, etc. However, people need to realize that it is just as hard to play behind a team that has lost 8 games as it is to play vs. a defense with many backups. 

Frankly, the main reason I want to see Allen (and Grier, for that matter) develop is the simple fact that it gives the Panthers some options.  If I have a 23-year old QB who can put up similar or even better numbers, I doubt the check I write for a 31-year old, banged-up QB is going to be very impressive.  I shop Cam by the end of the season.

If he sucks, we are in a bad situation and Cam's agent will know that.

this is the thing that makes it really hard to keep from getting excited. he's two games in and played like an old very good vet. 

and I get what you're talking about not having a rocket for an arm. He does have a strong arm, but he's also not going to be hurting his players hands rifling the ball through their fingers. cam is or at least was amazingly strong and I don't think he knew just how hard he was throwing that ball. 

i'd much rather watch superman cam play than anyone because that guy was and is one of the most exciting and fun players I have ever watched play. if or until we get that guy back, I think we are in good hands with allen….at least that's how it looks right now.

      Baldy believes defense is the key. For me? Even more specific than that, the true key...

      By TD alt · Posted

      Brian Baldinger on NFL Network (per Tim Weaver on Panthers Wire): "I feel like they're building a monster on that side of the ball right now and I think that's how they have to play," Baldinger stated. "They have to play like they can shut teams down this year. I think it's on them to really guide this team right now." https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2026/05/22/panthers-nfl-offseason-defense-brian-baldinger/90215555007/   So, do you believe him? Today, May 25, I do believe Baldy without any evidence otherwise. I think it's much more likely for our defense to take another marked leap (right into the top 10) than our, basically, bottom-third offense. In my mind, Lee Hunter is a literal and figurative huge addition up front, and right behind him is perhaps our biggest exclamation point on defense: Devin Lloyd. Lloyd's experience and track record of solid production should be the anchor of our defense that should help lift the floor of the entire unit. No more getting gashed on runs, eh? But, as important as Lloyd will be, the most prolific addition to the defense could be Jaelen Phillips.  In my opinion, whether or not the Panthers can demonstrably show that the defensive squad, and perhaps the team in general, is actually ready to assert itself as a perennial postseason presence lies within its ability to credibly rush passers. Phillips was paid handsomely to produce results. Now I know that most of you are probably thinking that sacks are the key. Moreover, I'm not one that is even going to tell you that his pressures are the key (you know, since Phillips's pressure rate has been highlighted over perhaps pedestrian sack numbers). The key, at least in my mind, will be the marked growth of Nic Scourton and/or Princely Umanmielen. I really do believe that they are the understated X factors that the "success" of our season may depend upon.  I'm not worried about the interior (perhaps over-optimistically so). I'm also not too concerned with our corners, as they are quietly one of the best duos in the league. Sure, the safety position has more question marks, Trevon Moering is an exclamation point, and Nick Scott, though less of an exclamation point, still has plenty of experience. With the infusion of youth, size, length and energy, I can see a good mix that will result in positives from the DBs once Ejiro Evero figures everything out. And, we should all know, a credible pass rush provides the defensive backfield with opportunities to shine, and this is but another reason why I believe that Scourton and maybe Umanmielen will be key to taking up residence in the postseason. On an off note, and as a reminder, if the defense is doing its job effectively maintaining momentum with field position, if not outright laying down the pathway with short fields and such, this should make it easier for Bryce Young and the offense to effect points on the board in terms of TDs. Where the defense goes, the offense will have every opportunity to follow.

      Canes need to get one of these two away games. Would prefer both but get 1. Go back to Raleigh 2-2. Win that one. Then you only need one of the next two.     I saw a different level of focus I’ve never seen from the canes in ECF since 06.  Also, Montreal has been bad at home in the playoffs. Get on them early, win the game.
