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

Recommended Posts

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.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
