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.

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

      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.

      NHL Olympics Thread (Or just Olympics in general)

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Dude, I think I might be having Jarvy withdrawals... I ripped the sleeves off of all of my t-shirts in my sleep last night. Every bite of my Alpha-Bita cereal spelled Seth, this morning. And, I took 7 naps before lunch. I'm losing it guys! Jarvy's Jaunty Band of Jaggoffs are getting more play than he is... smh Team Canada doesn't treasure Jarvis the way he deserves. He should take his band down to Liechtenstein, get a bag of passports, and start his own Olympic team! The raw animal magnetism of Jarvilicious will bring in a handful of NHLers on its own. And, since the IOC believes in collective punishment, he could have his pick of the rookies. Then, just fill out the rest of the roster with the maple blooded great white northerners who couldn't make the top squad. Can't trust this assembled awesomery to just any old Liechtensteinien with a clipboard and a whistle. Gotta bring in a legend worthy of this gold medal gambit. A hockey HOFer with the balls to buck the system and the aura to match our maverick. Huere geil, Vaduz!!! 2030 Gold Medal guaranteed!

      Tennessee isn't trading a QB on a 2nd round contract that has starting experience.  That's bad business.
