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

What were Cam’s biggest strengths in his prime? He had one of the best deep balls in the NFL, and he was a unstoppable power runner.

He lost his elite deep ball after the shoulder injury in 2016, and now that he has lingering foot issues and he is as skinny as he’s ever been, he might have lost his power running ability. 

Take away those two elite abilities that really made Cam a special player, and he does not belong in the NFL anymore.

I love Cam. I have loved watching him play this last decade. But you have to call a spade a spade. He’s not what he used to be. The Panthers knew that and drafted Will Grier. It just turns out Kyle Allen was the guy instead.

Cam should probably consider if he wants to have a healthy post career, or come back to break his body and scramble his brains some more.

I'm never a fan of players losing starting jobs to injuries, and I've been saying up to now that we don't know enough about Allen yet to be certain.

Now however, I've gotta admit it's a valid question.

When you go down, the door to your job opens.

when mccaffrey got hurt bonnafon came in and easily ripped off a huge touchdown run. as you can see we rushed mccaffrey back today and the running game suffered. now we were lucky to have a guy like kyle allen under center to overcome that but it goes to show that maybe "good" players should lose their starting job to injury

When did CMC get hurt?

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

The guy passes for 4000+ yards like clockwork. I agree that NE's system is very QB friendly, but I wouldn't call Brady a "game manager" in the least. To me, a guy like Alex Smith is the ultimate game manager type. He's good enough to win with a great team around him, but not good enough to win if you need him to put the team on his back.

just looking at today's performance and i feel like i could poo my pants. 20 completions. over 250 yards. jesus christ. when's the last time we had a qb who put up performances like that? forget 2015 those are prime Delhomme numbers. i'm going to poo my pants.

if you're even entertaining the idea of Cam playing another snap in the NFL you deserve for someone to poo in your pants.

See, I don't agree with using the term that way. That definition fits a system quarterback, not a game manager.

      The Cavalry is Coming

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I'm super excited about the guys we're getting back, and fortunately this year, outside of Robert Hunt, we haven't had any season-threatening injuries. Rico has earned the start, but I am excited to have both available.  The team is finally turning into the run-first team Canales said he wanted to be. As for JT Sanders, I think he has lost the most be being out. He is probably our best receiving TE, but with the emergence of Mitchell Evans & with him and Tommy Tremble both absolutely balling in run blocking, it will be hard to fix something that isn't broken. I'm hoping Turk Wharton can help with our pass rush. We really havent gotten to see him much due to injuries, but we desperately need anyone to provide some pass rush juice, which is what he was brought to do. I'm the most excited about Jalen Coker returning. Theilen may have been the most clutch last year, but I've watched a lot of film, and Coker was the most consistent WR we had when he was out there last year.  I think he can be an ideal #2 to Tmac. While Coker doesn't have the raw athleticism XL does, his route running, savvy, and overall football IQ simply make him better.  I think with the fact Coker can play both outside and in the slot will give our pass game more versatility.  We have been running a lot of 2 TE sets, and I think Tmac & Coker should be the primary WRs for 12 personnel. The other WRs (XL, Tremayne, Renfrow, & Horn) all have roles, but I dont think any of them can fully replace what Coker can do. I do think Renfrow will be inactive this week if everyone is healthy bc of how valuable Tremayne is for ST and as a run blocker. So happy that we are playing meaningful football heading into November. We are still almost certainly a year away, but we are absolutely moving in the right direction

      Better than a fragile starter, though
