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

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 :eyeroll:

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.

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.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
