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.

      Dan Morgan interviews this week

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      Another thread where the Huddle melts down over a Bryce comment.  "Conversations" and "Bryce Young has been signed to a new long-term contract" are still far away from being the gospel.  For a fanbase that has watched two top-3 drafted QBs come here, and us move on, only to see them elevate their play elsewhere, I find it comical. Bryce is flawed but this org is damned if you do and damned if you don't with BY9.  Why would our GM and HC say anything other than supportive about their QB1. Yes, he's extended, but I truly do not think if he goes out and has a repeat of the previous seasons, that he is here beyond 2027. They're giving him every opportunity and surrounding him with a ridiculous amount of assets on both sides of the ball. If he continues to pitch 110 yd/ game and cough up the ball while everyone else is busting their ass, no way Dan keeps him beyond the extension.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      Ooof, I was not a Proctor fan. I agree w/ a lot of smarter folks than me that he's more of a guard and think his weight fluctuation is going to be something to navigate. I liked Lomu a lot, but figured there would be more talented guys there at 19. I also wasn't big on bringing in a TE via the draft. If it's not a vet (Njoku) or a trade for Mayer or Kmet, I'd just as soon see what the youngsters have. No need cluttering the room with more of the same.

      Sam Darnold & Bryce Young are two very different Qbs ..just saying the last 25 years approximately 2/3 of ALL  first round Qb's  in the NFL were or are bust.so for everyone who makes it like a Sam Darnold you have two that don't make it or are a bust
