How do we do in cold weather games? Temp at kickoff on Sunday supposed to be 30 with a 10% chance of snow

I mean, ok, yea, that's cold . . . but it's not really "frozen tundra" cold.  We are an outdoor team.  There's a fair chance we'll play at least one home game this year in similar temperature conditions.  So I guess it doesn't really concern me too much.

Agree w/ this.  Weather isn't really a big deal.  

We are an outdoor team.  We can handle 30 ish degree weather.  3 degrees would be something different.

Allen grew up in AZ, played college ball in Texas and now is in Carolina. 

Has he ever thrown a ball in cool temperatures before? 
 

I don’t like our chances to begin with and if Allen hasn’t ever played in slightly below freezing temperature before I like them even less. Sunday in GB isn’t exactly cold weather but for a kid from AZ it might be

This is a good point and something I hadn’t considered. The high on Sunday is forecasted to be 30 degrees. Could definitely be a factor. Looking up his college games he played well in the Liberty Bowl in Memphis on Dec 29 where it was in the high 30s during the game. That’s the only example I could find and that was several years ago.

Liberty Bowl - 12/29/2014 (Memphis)

Think that is it.  Haven't found good weather info but I think I have found a site saying it was a high of 36 that day. Which probably compares to GB temps this week.  Not as cold projected Sunday though.

Allen played well for whatever that is worth.

I was only able to find two games since Cam was drafted with temps below 40 (played outdoors).  39 against AZ in the NFC championship in Jan of 2016, and 28 last year against the Browns.  1-1 record.

That's a pretty shocking stat honestly. I knew we hadn't played many, but I didn't know the number was *that* low.

Yea, according to football reference, we have been pretty fortunate in the later months in NC.  Even saw a few December games with temps in the 70s.

2014 at Minnesota was 12 degrees at kickoff and was the coldest game in franchise history as far as I know. We lost 31-13.

Was that the year they played at the university?  I had forgotten all about that.  Ignored it completely because I assumed it was inside.

We played the Viking outdoors and it was -12 or some ungodly number with Cam.

      I mean I'd like to add a monster TE as much as anyone else but ultimately what use will that serve with a QB who had 54 passing yards in 4 quarters at one point last season? Defense defense defense.

      At this point its Sadiq or bust... A

      Personally I think he's a nightmare to cover I think linebackers generally aren't fast enough to keep up with him in coverage and cornerbacks don't have the strength to tackle him one-on-one in physically bring them down which would normally lead to a broken tackle or a nasty stiff arm or just bully ball play sure you could find a receiver with comparable speed like Cooper but he's faster than Cooper sure you can find a wide receiver that is the same size but he's probably More powerful than them and a better blocker.  The size speed athleticism package that he is in is completely unique it's easier to say I'd rather have just a big blocker because we've never seen this type of profile before I'm a risk taker I think you would be God blessed if this was there at 19 I think if you can get a guy that's a tight end who immediately becomes the fastest guy on your offense and at the same time that third wide receiver that can stretch and burn defenses over the top that's the perfect what the Panthers need type weapon.

      I think you're under selling Sadiq. They are two different players in terms of how they win. Loveland is 2 inches taller maybe 5-6 pounds heavier. Comparing his speed to sadiq.. well your comparing a 4.7 guy to a 4.3 guy I'm seeing a guy that can take a bubble screen from the tight end position and turn it into a house call. I'm not saying the guy is a certified home run pick but I don't think there's really a president's for a comparison for this kind of athlete. It's easy to say this doesn't look like Warren or Loveland because we haven't seen guys that fit this profile The closest you might be able to get is Vernon Davis.  He's not as sure far as those guys were but at 19 I think almost everybody is going to have some warts and he's a lottery ticket of could be top 10 in the draft player or could fail I am more of a risk taker I think he fits the athletic profile that could be a homerun, like I said he's almost 40 lb bigger than Cooper and like 4-5 in taller than Cooper so and he's faster. So whatever you think Cooper gives you I think he does that and more. If you want to go with one of the office alignment I can understand that as well but for value as a receiving threat I don't think there's a bigger value at number 19.
