Everyone Would Have Taken 4-3 When Cam Went Down in Week 2

This sucks, and it doesn't exonerate the defense, but being 4-3 without Cam is about as good as we could hope for.

Allen has played admirably, and this isn't on him, but we need Cam back to compete with elite teams.

Today is exhibit #1. 

Let's just take this L and get Cam back for the Titans at home next week.

I’m not sure that 2015 Cam could have won this game today

You're not wrong, but even a defense like this hot Niners defense couldn't pass rush a healthy Cam that could run with impunity.

This game and this defense shows the limitations of Kyle Allen.  He is still a good QB, but he's not one that can rescue a team when nothing else is working like Cam can when healthy.

Would love to see Cam stiff arm Bosa into the ground.  Sick of seeing him run around like a little vagina flailing his arms everywhere.

He was 4-0 before today.  There is nothing more you can hope for from a undrafted guy as your backup

I do agree with you there... except I dont count wins and losses as a qb stat. Wins come from team effort. Losses as well. I dont think 4-0 should define allen.

This is because you have sense. This is like the cherry picked stat where analysts all week have said Kyle Allen hasn’t turned the ball over and he does a terrific job of protecting the ball when they completely ignore his fumbling issue. 
 

Wins and losses aren’t a reliable QB stat.

It’s not about record and sure as hell isn't about a single player or position on a 53 man team and it’s kind of baffling you seem to not understand that.

It’s the fact this confirms why every Panther fan feared. Our TEAM can’t beat a good team. And that’s a problem for many reasons, mainly our upcoming schedule.

100%. Kyle was great for us but anyone with a lick of sense knows Cam is our franchise QB. I think we should keep Kyle around long term if he is affordable but he will never be our franchise QB.

Move on from this thumping and fight for that WC spot.

Of course.  Allen is not the sole reason we won 4 straight, but he didn't lose the games either.  He did all we could realistically ask given the circumstances

We are playing arguably the best team in the NFC on the road when they are hot as can be.  

Today sucks but it's not a reason to give up on the season

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
