Speculation is Cam will start after the bye.

We aren't winning *because* of Allen..we are winning in spite of Allen.

Allen isn't leading us to victory.  He is doing just enough to not lose the game.  CMC and our Defense is leading us.  Allen's job is to hand the ball off to CMC and not turn the ball over too much.  He nearly did the last game.

Is there a chance Allen improves?  Sure.  But if his play continues at the same level, and Cam comes back 100% healthy, I don't care if we are on a 4 game win streak.  Put Cam in.

 

One word... inspiration.  CMC lays and makes an incredible catch, because he wants to fuging win and the dude who threw it gave him a chance.  The defense is rested and most certainly inspired by some fuging nobody, that at least talks to coaching staff about his mistakes. Yeah if he threw a towel over his head in defeat,  I'd agree 100%.

if he comes back i hope its an away game.  if he sucks it up over and over he will get booed.  don't want to see that in charlotte, but it happens.    i don't know if he has thick enough skin for that, i don't think i would

1. Because you ride your hot hand until it goes cold in this league. Ask Drew Bledsoe. 

2. Sure, a guy who hasn't won a game in what will have been over a year when/if he returns. Very deserving. 

Kyle looked great against Arizona but so has every other QB they’ve faced. Against the Texans it looked like the team was trying to hide him and you can’t have that against a Texans defense that isn’t even that good.

Yea I’m sure the defense was real energized about those three turnovers

I’m 100% in the “start Cam as soon as he’s healthy” camp. But to play devils advocate on your statement. Cam hasn’t scored a TD in like 4 strait games lol. That isn’t very energizing either

That’s largely due to play calling. How many passes have we seen Cam throw around the goal line or in the red zone?

Deshaun Watson looked just as bad or worse in that game.

5 teams you must take seriously

Quote

In Carolina, where a Panthers bunch left for dead sits at 2-2 after an edgy road win over the Texans. Young quarterback Kyle Allen took his lumps with three lost fumbles, but Sunday reminded us the Panthers no longer revolve around the quarterback. Backfield wonder Christian McCaffrey touched the ball a whopping 37 times for 179 yards and provided Carolina's only touchdown of the day. The MVP-level talent put the attack on his shoulders, prompting rookie left tackle Greg Little to say after the game: "He's our angel, that's what I call him. He's a workhorse. I'm glad he's on my side." Carolina's defense did the rest, holding ball-catching god DeAndre Hopkins to 41 yards while peppering Texans passer Deshaun Watson with six sacks. A fortnight removed from pressing questions being raised about the future of coach Ron Rivera, here's the real query: Will we ever learn? Riverboat Ron has proven himself to be one of the game's more resilient leaders, guiding the Panthers out of ugly corners and doom-laden black holes time and again. Seen initially as the harbinger of disaster, Cam Newton's absence while dealing with a Lisfranc injury during this two-game win streak serves instead as a reminder of how many other valuable pieces reside inside Carolina's locker room.

Cam gets the start when he's healed up and capable of playing 100%. Now, after all that we've learned, that's going to have to be something purely decided by the coaching and medical staff, because by Cam's own admission he will push to play when he isn't 100% capable.

That is the fine line that will decide more than any timetable.

[Jeremy Igo]

If Kyle goes 4-0 and Cam goes 0-3

 

Whoa Nelly. 

[DeAngelo Beason]

And he'll be a bust when he does.

If he takes a good solid legal hit and is then only 90% do we take him out and sit him until he is exactly 100% again?

1. Because we would be on a 4 game winning streak and in contention for a division title?

2. This is A team now.

It's always been A team under Cam.
