Panthers sticking with Allen....

Yeah, why not? he may not even be 3rd string material, who knows? All he can do is "a job interview"... What does he really have to lose, or the team? That is unless this team truly believes Kyle Allen has the potential to be a franchise QB and they're rolling with him, but I really don't feel like that is the case... We DO need to see who is worth keeping if we are going into "rebuild" mode. So it really doesn't matter if we throw him to the wolves. The coaches realize the O-line sucks ass, and will consider that. Does the kid have moxie? can he perform under pressure? does he have a warriors competitiveness when he's out there? He doesn't have to look like Brett Favre, evaluators know what potential and "it" factor is. 

This isn't about Grier.  The team is evaluating Allen long and hard.  He's definitely #2 material, but is he #1?  If Grier wasn't drafted, he would have lost out to Taylor Heinicke for the #3 spot.  His draft status saved his butt.  Grier has earned the right to hold a clipboard and compete for a spot next training camp.

I can't speak for the team, but that's exactly what they are doing.  As for me...no, not now anyway.  I think he can be groomed to be a decent #1 in the future.  I think it's hilarious though that bringing in Will Grier and seeing 'how he handles struggling' is some indicator of his future success though.

Allen if I was you I would get a note from a doc that you slipped on the stairs and can’t play.  Don’t risk career ending injury for a couple of meaningless games because the amount of punishment you are taking out there is ridiculous.   If Panthers don’t want to start you next season find a team that will,  do it man.

Kyle Allen is a homeless man's Case Keenum.

He could be similar to Case Keenum.  I think he could grow as a backup for another year or two, get plucked up in FA and win an open competition on a team lacking a true franchise QB.  We've done well with some other teams backups signed away in FA.  Jake Delhomme and Steve Beuerlein come to mind.

Yeah, but I think you missed the whole back story on this.  In a nutshell, people whining about Grier not getting a shot now the season is lost and I am saying the team is seeing if Allen can be the #1 guy next year.  They have 3 games left to figure it out.  He's clearly #2 material, but can he be more? Again, a few games left to make that decision.

No..just a backup...face facts...Grier not playing maybe more to do with Grier than Allen

Okay tell Marty, Fewell, the Turners and Tepper that.  I clearly stated that is what the TEAM'S INTENTIONS are.

Don't bother, dude. He's a troll.

Hell, in the other thread, I asked him a question about a player that I made up and he had no idea :)

    • Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.          
    • I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.  
    • Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
