Shelter: Cam ready to practice after bye week; injury healed well

[PanthersBigD]

This is great news! Even better because we know he doesn’t have to rush back until he feels ready to roll. He could be back by the third quarter of the season, and we’d finally have a viable backup behind him if things went sideways. We’re sitting in the catbird seat.

Why?  Show me Cam as a starter vs Allen?  If I was Cam I’d be considering retirement and he would be completely justified in doing so.  Allen has 1 shot and he is working his ace off to cash it in.

You must be fairly new to watching NFL football if you haven't seen a lot of QBs come out of nowhere to play well for short spurts, maybe even a season, to then never be heard from again or get a legit starting opportunity then fall flat on their face. The Kurt Warner and Jake Delhomme stories are very much the exception, not the norm. Hell, Andy Reid made a habit of flipping these guys for high draft picks in Philly. Case Keenum, Koy Detmer, AJ Feeley, Matt Flynn - that's the norm for these situations.

Again man...Cam has been hurt for a long time now.  What are you arguing for here?  Bad shoulder gets right and bad foot for a multipurpose QB gets perfect?  Seriously?

injuries happen

Olsen has been hurt along time.

Injuries happen.

His shoulder healed, he was looking good in camp.  And then he got a completely seperate injury not related to his shoulder.  But still effected his passing due to pain planting that foot.  Niw that has healed.  

Just keep on spinning it

I imagine his target will be Titans or Packers. I think the Panthers FO has finally come to realize the importance of not rushing your franchise player back.

The odds are probably better for Cam to return to form than they are for Kyle Allen to prove to be a long-term viable starter.

And you came to this conclusion how? by the first 5 games of Allen's Career?  yeah, 5-0 looks like he might be a bottom feeder QB

Ehhh you might regret saying that, but I won’t disagree as of right now. If Kyle Allen was 4-0 after beating the Saints, Packers, 49ers, and Seahawks, we’d be singing a different tune

While playing om a bad foot 

He even admitted he was playing on a bad foot 

 

 

QB's and bad feet are not  a good combo

 

Surprised no one has accused Andy Reid of violating the Geneva Convention on torture for forcing his QB to play through an injury yet.

By watching NFL football for the past 20+ years. I'm not saying that Kyle Allen definitely won't prove to be a quality starter long-term, but history is stacked heavily against it.

Hmm why would it be coming from the NFL and not the panthers?

If he plays the backup history says he'll play well and Reid will flip him in the off-season for something like a 2nd round pick.
