Todd Bowles told us in our pre-broadcast meeting that the Allen-QBed team presented more of a challenge to defend than the Week 2 Cam QBed team. Said, among other issues, Allen finds his outlets better

Apparently this was said during interviews the week leading up to the game.

Oh poo, better trade the former MVP for a guy averaging 225 yards a game (25th in the league) and has almost no rushing statistics.

Jeremy Igo, the cheerleader for mediocre.

Opposing DC comments about the gameplan of the game we just won and I guess I should not post it because it may hurt some feelings.

 

Objectively, it is relevant and interesting.

We won, and put up 30+ points again...this isn't an anomaly with this offense if it gets clicking.  Allen is able to hit receivers and place the ball better then Newton.  He isn't as athletically as gifted as Newton but from the standpoint of ball placement and hitting WRs in stride, Allen is superior.

Obviously. A Cam who can’t run or hit an open WR doesn’t pose much of a challenge. There’s no doubt in any of our minds, even the Cam first fans, that Allen in week 2 wins us the game. Cam was so clearly hurt an ineffective that it’s egregious that Cam didn’t say anything while he knew he was hurting the team and that the coaches were blind and dumb enough to not replace him.

Two things. 7 turnovers, and Daley.

If that Tampa team from week 2 played even a hobbled Cam with the offensive line from this week, as well as Daley at LT and it's an easy win.

Then why does he fumble so often?

Newton fumbled away the Super Bowl in his prime. Fumbles and interceptions have ended 3 out of 4 if our playoff runs with Newton. He's a 250 pound 9 year veteran.

Allen is getting hit for the first times in the NFL....and improving

    • the one thing this post has suprised me with is how much support there still is for young.  i dont understand why.  we had qbs before him that went to superbowls that lost support way quicker.  thr only qb we had had that started any number of games that played worse than young is clausen.  allen and moore played better and yet people still support him makes 0 sense to me
    • Again, can’t have a serious discussion if constantly wading through hyperbole. And you say that’s not really what was meant, but I tried to at one point get some folks to concede that he was physically capable of throwing a football 20yds just so we could get to a real discussion and they stuck with it. So I’m not sure your characterization is entirely accurate.
    • And this is his third year. As far as people not understanding things, I am not sure people accept how difficult it is to remake yourself from the ground up. Which he absolutely has to do to compete successfully at the NFL level.  He takes a step forward with the footwork and a step back when he is stressed and reverts to what always worked for him before. I will say it yet again, anyone that reached a level of success with their self taught technique but needed to rebuild to break through the limitations that imposed, will understand this. I don’t care what specific activity it is the same challenge. Muscle memory and comfort level fight against the new moves you are trying to train yourself to do without thinking.  He is there. There is a ceiling with his technique that is too low for the NFL. He has to retrain himself.  We are in the third year and I guess we are supposed believe that he will be so good  when he finally gets to where the new will be second nature, that we have to wait (how many more years) for him to finish doing it. If he ever finishes.  The sad fact is he will not succeed at the NFL level with his horrible college footwork and compensation moves like the tippy toe drop backs. He just won’t.  If he can’t put that on the table for us, we would be foolish to not seek an alternative plan.
