Nobody's got any patience. And everybody wants to be the first person to say that they know right now how good somebody is or isn't going to be.

It's basically the same as when people say they absolutely know and can guarantee that a guy is going to be a superstar or a bust three games into his rookie season.

I don't know if its a lack of patience, or just the pro or anti cam factions wanted to get a hit in.

I am pretty much ignoring both factions right now.  Just want to win regardless of who the qb is.  And Allen has proved he is a capable back up

Granted.

Where I would disagree I that I don't think any quarterback has "proven" what he is only six games in.

Honestly, no player at any position does that, but especially not quarterbacks.

I think he has proven he is a solid, or at least an adequate backup.  It remains to be seen if he can be more.  

I can go with that, though I might frame it a little differently.

I've mentioned before that I frame the evaluation of any young player using three questions:

1. Are they good? (i.e. good enough to play in the NFL)

2. If yes, how good? (backup, role player, starter, all pro, superstar, what?)

3. How long are they going to be good? (flash in the pan, average career, long time anchor, which?)

With regard to Allen, only the first question has been answered. Yes, he can play in the NFL, at least is a backup and potentially as more.

The questions of what level and how long it can be maintained are still unanswered.

Exactly, this is what the thread was about Kyle Allen has done exceptional for his experience level however he is no where near his ceiling and has alot of learning to do. Anyone thinking he is a better option then Cam is out of their mind...however they are both Panthers and im a fan of BOTH.

Really with what weve been give only the first question can be answered and its yes. The other two i can guess on, backup that has not reached his potential and whatever potential he does reach id say long term as he is pretty consistent at the things he does good. Just guesses though!

I chalk it up to a lack of information.  This situation has been a complete screwup from the get go.

Agree on winning.  Support whomever is in the game.

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      By Panthero · Posted

      Given that the immediate impact we need at edge. We almost certainly address that in Free agency, not in the draft. Same with Linebacker, unless Styles or Allen is still there at 19. I think the same for OT.  What is the position that we could draft in the 1st round and get immediate help in the first is how im approaching their decision-making  I know ill get dragged for this, but im thinking they go DT in the first. A guy that can play right away and be a complement to D.Brown to wreak havoc at the LOS.   So unless a top tier LB is there, I think DT will be the move.

      Cam Newton & Steve Smith Sr. break the silence after 10 years

      By ok2h8pep · Posted

      I think people forget that by his last season Steve Smith had the ass and he played like it - and for no really good reason other than that other stars were emerging on the team and he didn't want to share the spot light.  He was more of a locker room distraction than he was worth. He went on to have great performances with the Ravens' but G-man made the right move allowing him to move on from here.  I personally think it was addition by subtraction and we don't have a super bowl run with Smith on the roster. Steve Smith remains a narcissist who I've never seen internalize his own culpability when it comes to his relationships with others - it's always somebody else's fault as to why he was forced to act like an asshole. This video is a product ad.  I'm cringed that either of these two Panther greats are party to it.

      I think the ‘issue’ here is that we had two guys that clashed for several reasons. In some ways they were different, but in other ways they had a lot in common, and sadly they couldn’t see the forest for the trees. Sometimes when you have two people like that together they are either going to love or hate each other, and if it’s the latter, you need someone to mediate and hope the two individuals are capable of putting their differences aside for the common good. In this instance, they couldn’t find a way to move forwards together because I don’t think either guy wanted to play second fiddle to the other. This video basically said neither guy had the tools to bridge that gap and mend that fence, and perhaps also were unwilling to give an inch at that stage in their lives and careers. So a divorce, while unfortunate, was always likely. Do we win the Super Bowl with Smitty and Cam? Well, it’s one of life’s big what ifs for us Panthers fans.
