It's time for Will Grier

Yea, I was in the camp that thought Kyle Allen could be a decent starter.  Over the last few weeks I have changed my opinion.  I still think Kyle Allen is a quality backup. A backup isn't supposed to play 14 games and it's obviously too much for him at this point in his career.  

That being said, it's time to start Will Grier and see what you have in him.  At this point if the coaching staff doesn't start him, does this show how little faith they have in him?

Kyle Allen was always going to regress. Once a NFL team has tape on you, you have to change what your doing. Kyle Allen is a decent QB. He will get better over time, but a NFL QB is one of the hardest jobs to perfect.

Well it's very hard to learn when your line is a turnstile. We would be a much different team if we could lean on a MVP caliber back and not a rookie QB but this line can't even run block right.

We had the better version of Lamar Jackson and our O line ruined his career

Agree to disagree.....I think Lamar is better at this point, he is quicker.  Cam used his legs alot yes and felt more like another RB and can run downhill for the needed extra gains for first down cause he bigger man.  Lamar just seems quicker WR like and gets more than a first down, kid is running wild right now.

Yeah Lamar is going to be better than Cam and he's got a great Oline to protect him as well.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
