probably has something to do with the simplification of the offense with allen at quarterback. less convoluted plays and less options for allen means even this coaching staff can get the call in. idk how many times you need to see cam yelling at the sideline to get the play call in to understand that it was definitely military ron's fault

Credit the Panthers coaches, and in particular offensive coordinator Norv Turner and quarterbacks coach Scott Turner, for putting Kyle Allen in a tremendous position to succeed. Multiple people in that building have told me that Carolina really hasn’t needed to change anything to accommodate its new quarterback, which I’ve found most interesting. In fact, they’ve done a little more with Allen in certain ways, since they don’t have to worry as much about managing the hits he takes in the running game.

So reading through some of your post, I do not believe Kyle Allen to be the savior of the franchise like many want to anoint. Healthy Cam gives this team the best chance to win, but the concern is we may never see that Cam again. It took Olsen basically a full year to get better from it. Cam takes more punishment than Greg does every game, so the risk of having to have surgery on it is real.

Cam has alot of guts to deal with the injuries, play through them, and admit he shouldn't be playing at the same time he put the team in a tough spot by hiding the injury and not giving us the best chance to win those games as he was hurt.

Life after Cam is soon coming and this team must prepare.  If we get offered 3 firsts for Cam, it would be dumb to turn that down. We can't guarantee Cam won't sign elsewhere when his contact is up to not have to deal with Ron anymore. One thing, how have the delays of games and wasted TO's disappeared when we still have the same Offensive Coordinator and same mismanagement head coach Ron? 

LOL Nobody is giving us 3 first rounders for Cam.  Come on now.

I didn't know Ron calls the Offensive plays that Cam is yelling to the sidelines about. Interesting considering how hands off Ron is about anything Offense in his press conferences. We know Ron loves his conservative playing with a 14 point lead that is a given. We also know Greg has to help Cam call plays in the huddle due to terminology due to Cam's own self admittance. Cam hates the terminology.  Both Ron and Norv have stated they are not dialing back the play book, so again are they lying to sabotage Cam or are they telling the truth? What benefit would Norv and Ron have by telling defenses we are running a Vanilla offense?

if you ask your average person to name all 32 NFL teams, they'd name 31 and struggle to remember the last one. it's the Titans.

they'd go from the absolutely least gave a fug about team in NFL history to the talk of the town and the cocks of the walk if they traded for Cam.

Not for this version of him, no.

And I'd say that's one of the reasons why a trade is improbable. Assuming they were interested in doing it (which I don't believe they are) what you'd want for him is likely more than what anyone is willing to offer right now.

That changes if he gets back to health of course, but his getting back to health lessens the impetus to trade him.

lol if you've watched all of these games and believe that allen is doing more. the film guys on twitter have annihilated this narrative but hey don't let what we can all see every sunday get in the way of the narrative you've been pushing for years now

Person said the same thing.

The general belief is that Newton will get his job back this season, though when that happens is a question mark. But even if Allen remains the starter, Newton would be the primary backup.

Next year is when the discussion potentially becomes more wide open.

Largely reliant on whether Newton shows he's healthy or not if he gets the job back. 

Which is fair enough. Lots of questions going to be answered with time obviously.

      He is a great guy but a horrible reporter. He makes my skin crawl when I hear his name. I heard that babies cry and dogs attack him when he enters a room. Other than that he is a good dude. Now go burn in hades u sum bit.

      The job just really passed him by. He came up when basically you just needed to get three or four quotes, toss a couple of team provided stats in there, and stretch it out to column length. you got your copy in by 330, out the door by 4, then chill/shmooze the rest of the day. If you were really good you got a book deal. Every now and then you got to write an editorial. The goal of the profession was like Peter King where ostensibly you’re a beat writer for whomever but you get paid to just shoot the poo. now it’s a 24 hour job, you’ve gotta be social media savvy, the pace has increased substantially, you’re expected to produce more than ever, you gotta be able to look through bullshit etc. there’s still risk of industry capture where you just become a mouth piece. Sheena Quick is obviously shameless. I don’t think Newton ever aspired to be more than an inoffensive beat writer, but even that relatively simple role was just more than he was cut out for. its even worse when you’re covering a team that expects the Fourth Estate to act as a PR extension, or considers them on par with buying Twitter bots to promote Bryce. there were over thirty papers that covered the panthers first training camp. In that environment there’s room for boring guys like newton, and they may even be incentivized to push the boundary a little. But today that just isn’t the case and most of the guys are hanging on until retirement (person, gantt) or they’re good and gonna be matched up like Jordan. im not defending the current state of sports journalism, just saying that what counts as a meat and potatoes beat writer passed newton by. He’s retiring well past his sell by date, but that’s pretty common for his generation in general.
