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

Yeah but this isnt right context. We played small ball starting with 5 mins left in the 3rd quarter. Also we had some short fields with the TOs....and CMAC had an off game. Most of those yards are through the air. 

Its called... we're up 34 to 10 let's just chew clock.

Is that perception actually accurate though? With over 5 minutes to go in the 3rd we started what would be a 9 play TD drive. 5 passes, 4 runs. The next drive started with under 13 minutes to go in the game. Three and out. 2 passes, 1 run.  The next drive started with under 10 to go. 2 passes, 3 runs.  

We really only took our foot off the gas and became lopsidedly run heavy in our last two drives with under 5 minutes to go.

That's not being healthy. Cam has already proven he will lie about his health to the detriment of this team. He no longer gets the benefit of the doubt. He now has to prove he is ready to be starter again. 

 

It's unbelievable how many fans don't understand that it's the norm for players to downplay injuries. That's football culture. They've been taught all their lives that if they can get medical clearance they're expected to play. If not, they're labeled as "soft".

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.

There’s a lot more at stake than just winning this year. Tepper wants to win every year, and letting Cam go into next year not knowing what he can do could end up being a costly mistake.

I don't blame players for wanting to play.

Yeah, there does often come a point when it's actually detrimental, but good luck getting guys with competitive enough personalities to play in the NFL to recognize that.

I’m sorry but a 100% healthy cam is much better than kyle Allen. The defense is playing insanely good The Golden Calf of Bristol could’ve won that game today. If your defense forces 7 Turnovers and you don’t win you’re trash I don’t put much stock into this game. Show me Allen winning a shootout Against a good team where our defense plays bad and i might change my mind

You play to win the games you're playing right now and then figure out the other stuff later.

Coaches and players are coaching and playing for their jobs, and you think they're going to sacrifice wins to see if an injured player can get their mojo back. Smh

If game manager means the best quarterback ever by a wide margin then I guess I don’t know what it means 

Game manager is used improperly as an insult. It's frequently confused with the term "system quarterback".

In reality, game management is a skill that every quarterback needs to have. Thus, every quarterback is a game manager, including Cam Newton.

Some do a good job managing the game, some don't, but it's a responsibility that all of them are tasked with and need to perform in order to win games.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
