I don't think we can bench Kyle Allen...

Kyle is 4-0, he has a 108 QBR, he has made the tempo of this offense unbelievably good, and his ability to get it to all the weapons is superior than trying to fit Cam rushing back in, and working on Cam's timing for a few games. The reality is that we have to win the division, the wildcard situation is nuts, and we cannot afford to take a couple of games to get him reinstalled, wonder if he is really healthy, risking him getting injured again, and swing this momentum any other way but the way it is trending right now. It's much better to let Cam get healthy and take the wait and see approach with our potential future at QB, because at this point, who really knows? Cam is the better QB when healhty, no question about that, but can he stay healthy? Keep in mind, on those five throws where it was perfectly placed and dropped, he would have been over 300 yards and possibly another TD.

Panthers need to see what they have in a healthy Cam. Going into the last year of his contract, if he doesn’t show he can still be a top qb he might be playing somewhere else.

The Panthers need to play the guy that gives them the best chance to win regardless of what consequences it has for Newton, Allen or anybody else..

Who that is right now is the only question that matters.

That was in a previous era of football, before the NFL started handicapping defenses to create high scoring games on the regular. 

So in today's NFL, an effective game manager isn't good enough for a ring?  That's only a yesteryear thing?  I would personally disagree.

It's funny that in the era of fantasy football "game manager" is a four-letter word.

I really do wish people would stop using that phrase as if it were a bad thing.

Managing a game effectively is a big part of what every quarterback does.

Yes, exactly. The rules are too friendly to offenses and the playoffs are stacked with the top offenses. You're not likely to get to the SB without winning a shootout at some point. That wasn't necessarily the case 20 years ago.

Brady is arguably the biggest "game manager" in the NFL.

You can't

I don't care what side you are on (personally, I'm on the whoever gives us the best chance to win side), you don't bench a QB who is 5-0 as a starter and the team is rolling. Momentum and chemistry is a real thing, and we have that right now. The WORST thing that could kill this momentum and cause division among the locker room is to trot Cam out against the 49ers and we lose his first game back. That would totally derail our whole season. Just roll with Allen until he strings together some bad games or L's.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
