Kyle Allen's game is improving.

Cam Newton thinks Kyle Allen keeps getting better. I agree with him.

If Allen can just cut down on the fumbles while he gains more experience, I still don't think you can rule him out as a full time starter in this league.

His game is far from perfect, but having played only a handful of games he looks better than the vast majority of NFL rookies have looked. If he can continue to improve he deserves a chance to compete for a starting job in this league.

He probably ensured he's going to have a long NFL career just from that last drive alone. 

He made some pretty critical mistakes early but drove 90 yards at the end of a game in a snowstorm and put us in a position to tie.

He (along with Cam) would look 10x better with competent coaches imo. PLEASE make it happen Tepper.

Agreed. He had 2 turnovers (can't be 100 percent about the fumble, that could have been on the center snap, but given that Allen has had fumbling issues in the past gonna say it's on him) and could have doomed us with a pick six that got dropped, but anybody who thinks that a guy who can never be better than a backup goes into Lambeau and marches his team down the field in the FREAKING SNOW and puts them on the goal line at the end of the game is just not being honest with themselves about that player's ceiling.

He may or may not improve to the level of full time starter, I agree there are too many cautionary tales to ignore that possibility, but the young man clearly showed he has the potential to be more than that if he works and improves his game. I also agree this has no bearing whatsoever on Cam's status with the team, so for the love of dog, can we all stop pretending it does?

I feel like he put his heart and soul into that game.  Yes, he made two critical errors that you could probably say cost us the game (although I'd say the piss poor defense had something to do with it too), but all you can ask of your QB is that he gets up each time he's knocked down.  He damn near made up for those mistakes and led us to a legendary comeback victory in the driving snow.  If you can't see that this guy has potential you're blind.

Jeremy, why do you feel he wont be on this team next year? At his bargain price and the fact that he is showing upside, I'm confused as to what would be a better option should cam go.

It would be insane to let Allen walk after this season for as cheap as we can sign him

Allen's short memory is a bonus for him. He doesn't seem to let bad throws or results scare him. Playing more is only going to help him improve, and now that Cam's on IR, it probably takes a little pressure off from the standpoint of always looking over his shoulder if Cam was cleared medically to play. 

Don't know if he'll be the quarterback of the future here, but it's safe to say he'll be in the league for a while as a very good backup at the least.

I am not taking for granted a single thing this offseason. I think it is going to be a huge rebuild. 

I know CMC will be here. 

That sums up everything I know.

      Very intrigued how Morgan and Canales handle the offseason

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      Dan tends to attack one specific position group per offseason and the sprinkle others throughout the roster. He extended Moton, signed Hunt, Lewis, Nijman one offseason and then extended Brown and signed Wharton and Hunt and drafted Jackson next offseason. My guess is he attacks LB and Edge this offseason.    1. What do you do with Icky? Likely a scratch for next season and due a massive contract (if healthy) They will bring back Nijman and Christensen and draft a guy on Day 2 is my guess and hope one of them can fill the hole. 2. Coker has the talent for 2nd WR, but do you pay a guy who gets hurt that premium? I think hes your number 3 simply due to risk. Will the Panthers seek another vet or go surprisingly high in the draft? They will probably sign him more and longer than the RFA Tender to keep him happy and not break the bank in the process. Can see them getting a Vet in FA like Tutu Atwell or Hollywood Brown. Somebody with speed but also isn’t overly expensive. I think Horn and Tremayne stick around and unfortunately Legette. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Tremble released and a real TE in brought in, there is a good FA group this year. 3. Do you give X more feature time? Or cut bait now? I wouldn’t be surprised if they traded him but I’m willing to bet he gets one more year. Maybe Canales can find a role like Shenault had with McAdoo.  4. Planning the long term/short term on OL Like I said I think Christensen and Nijman are brought back for T with a Day 2 rookie and prayer something sticks. Moton, Hunt, Lewis return ofcourse. Probably resign Corbett as a safeguard at Center but I think they go C in the 1st or 2nd. Wouldn’t be shocked to see Morgan trade to the back end of the 1st to get a solid C and add picks. 5. How do you address LB? I think Rozeboom leaves. Hoping CJ Allen or Sonny Styles is still there is too big of a risk. They probably go get Kaden Elliss or Leo Chenal and pay good money for them. Maybe a guy on Day 3 for depth with Cherelus and Martin-Scott. Also think he takes a swing at Edge, wouldn’t be shocked to see Hendrickson or Oweh here.  6. Do you bank of Chuba bouncing back?    I think Chuba remains Chuba. There are some decent change of pace backs out there this year that will be cheap. Still developing Etienne and Brooks may be healthy. I think it’s Chuba and that crew maybe a veteran that’s not Dowdle. More like Deejay Dallas who was here already once.    I also think Dalton calls it and they get an upgrade at back up. Nobody that wouldn’t endanger Bryce’s job but somebody that isn’t 55 years old either.

      This is my answer. If I got board I would just do guest drop ins to obscure podcasts but would definitely collect the cash from Tepper.
