allen has shown the blueprint for playing qb for us.  cam just needs to do it better.   he's not gonna be '15 cam.  if he tries his career is gonna be over shortly.   the question is can he.   that's not racist.  its legit and we're gonna find out at some point.   the racist trolls that brigaded the forum last year are pretty much gone.  

SMH

 

2018 Cam prior to the shoulder injury.  He was completing a higher pct than 2015 Cam And 4-0 Allen.  

 

Probably would've started 8-0 vs 6-2 had our D not been so trash last year.  He11 that front 7 was so terrible we legit changed schemes and hammered FA/draft with pass rushers

 

 

 

This Allen vs Cam is like the Foles vs Wentz argument Philly.

100% Cam is better, point blank than Allen, no matter what the Cam haters who have crawled out have told you.   Allen is good enough with the guys around to win us games.  Thats it.

Its a good situation to be in

Cam needs to quit going down on one knee before every snap and slowly getting up....he started that when he ran all game.  He gets up like he is exhausted so people can’t tell when he actually is later. Little things like that added up.  Wasted time every play. 

I also hope he spends some time doing a little self evaluating. Igo did hit the nail on the head with his shotgun tell on the snap helping DLs tee off. 

Totally agree. Hope he’s using this time off to self assess. The little things he did as far as drawing defenses offsides went a long way. Needs to go back to that and round out his game.

A healthy Cam (ex. Can run the ball without hesitation and can throw the ball at least 90% of what he could before his shoulder surgery) is better than Kyle Allen.

My problem is that we never got a great look at Cam in preseason before fatso fell on his foot. The thing that made Cam Newton great was his mismatch ability, big QB that could run well and big arm to hurl in tight throws or deep bombs. Toss in his killer instinct for scoring in clutch situations. From what I saw even in training camp was less distance on throws, less speed on short throws and a reluctance to let Cam be anything other than a pocket passer.

If Cam is just going to be a pocket QB, I'll take Kyle Allen 10/10 times. Allen stretches the field, makes quick throws that utilize the speed of Moore and Samuel which in turn opens up space for CMC. 

If Turner invisions Cam as a pocket QB he will fail because if teams don't have to spy Cam and don't have to worry about a throw past 20 yards it leaves no space for Cam to throw in his limited range, of which he's never been consistently accurate.

his shoulder was going downhill after the first game.  you can go re-watch and see.  teams didn't know he couldn't throw deep for a while and were respecting it.   when that became obvious they dared him to beat them with his arm - just like the first 2 games this year.   he's going to have to disprove that going forward.

Shouldn't you be on vacation?

How does this article stack up if we come out of SF with a win with KA at the helm?  What if we lose with Cam at the helm?

*********** Confirmation bias incoming ***********

1 is a bad sample size

Uh, that takes time. I don't have enough information to say either way. Neither do you. That is the point. Saying he will never be a franchise QB is pretty silly. If we didn't have Cam and Allen was a draft pick you would be over the moon and singing the praises of his prospects right now.

Seriously?

It isn't about the first 5 games. It is about what happened before that. Lots of people took a pass on Allen. Lots of people who are supposed to know what they are doing.

Don't even offer up Brady as a comparison in that regard, because I know people are going to be quick to do so.

The kid is good in a Norv Turner system. The possibilities are there, but there is no current evidence to demonstrate he will be a franchise QB for anyone. The burden of proof lies with Kyle, and those trying to say he's anything other than a good backup right now.

Until Kyle Allen starts a 16 game season for anyone, and does better than 8-8 for multiple seasons, he's a glorified backup QB.

To paraphrase Dennis Green, "If you want to crown his ass, then crown him. He is who I think he is, and I'm not going to let him off the hook as easy as you are."

Is Kyle Allen doing a great job right now? It could be debatable.

Is our defense playing great? Yes.

Are we limiting our mistakes? Yes.

Does Allen have time in the pocket that Cam hasn't had? Yes.

Is Kyle Allen currently healthy? As far as I know.

Is Kyle Allen a franchise QB? How the hell is anyone supposed to know right now? A lot of people passed on him for him to end up with us.

Right now, Allen is somewhere between Chris Weinke, Matt Moore, and Jake Delhomme as far as I am concerned. None of them, save MAYBE Jake, proved they could be a Franchise QB.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
