Allen playing for the Panthers in SB 50 would have won the game going away.........putting up 34 or more points.

Cam on the other hand on the biggest stage of his career was very pedestrian in that game.  

Josh Allen would've gotten his head turned into a piñata too. When a team is allowed to flat out target your QB in spite of the fact that targeting the head of the QB was THE officiating focus that season, what are you to do?

Well, in hindsight after the second or third one went uncalled one of our OL should've just taken Von Miller out. I'm not for dirty play but if the refs aren't going to protect your QB from dirty play then the OL needs to do their job and protect their QB. I just really don't believe they thought that the refs were going to flat out refuse to throw those flags all night long.

Allen is more accurate we all know that was one of Cam's biggest knocks throughout his career. Although in 2018 he looked to be changing that for the better until well you know.

But Josh Allen still has to get past Patrick Mahomes. Good luck with that is all I can say.

No comparison allen all day.  Cam would be like a v6 mustang that some kid puts a loud muffler on and thinks its fast allen would be a corvette.  Not a lambo but still better all around than the v6 mustang

WTF?

 

Cam all day. If you chose Allen you're not a real Panthers fan.

 

Cam Whoaa Cam!

Cam paved the way for a player like Josh Allen.

TIL Whoaa would take Smitty over Jerry Rice, CMC over Barry Sanders, Moose over Calvin Johnson, Olsen over Gronk, Luke over Ray Lewis, and Chris Gamble over ... Deion Sanders.

And small, slow, skinny white men in thin leather caps paved the way for everyone in today's NFL.

I'd take Olsen over Gronk

If Prime Cam was to play in today's NFL he would be an MVP again.

It's true but Cam had a much bigger and likeable persona. 

Allen has a likeable persona.  Cam was very polarizing.

[DeAngelo Beason]

If Cam had been drafted by a team like the Bills I think he'd have a very similar career trajectory, but setting that factor aside, Allen is a better player overall.

This is like somebody arguing over who is the hottest Playboy centerfold acting like some are beneath their standards while they're out there striking out on threes at the local dive bars.

For the love of god we'd give the entire organization to include Bank of America stadium for either.

Can Newton got them pointy elbows tho…

the better question:  Who will have the longest career--Cam was about a decade--All it takes is one freak injury or the wear and tear starts setting in, causing you to do things differently (mechanics).  then other injuries set it.  Josh has been in it for 7 years--we shall see.

I feel like Cam always had some nagging injuries and stuff though from the start even though he didn't miss time for most of them.  I believe he had ankle surgery in college and then had problems with it in his first couple seasons before all the shoulder stuff.

Josh is a better QB but the Bills have built around him properly over the years
