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.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
