I love Cam, he will always be MY Quarterback

But the answer is Allen and at this point, it's frankly almost to the point where it isn't even a close debate.  Cam still edges out Allen's running by a tad, but Allen's passing is already better than Cam's ever was.

The reality is that over the last season or two, Allen is becoming the QB we all expected Cam to be.

And for those using the Super Bowl appearance as why it's still Cam, then you're just fooling yourself because you want the answer to be Cam.  Allen has been to the playoffs 5 times, 3 of them he lost to KC and Mahomes, each of them in seasons KC went to the SB themselves.  If Mahomes wasn't Mahomes, Allen would have already been to a SB by now.  

Trying to knock Allen for that would be like saying Peyton wasn't as great as he was because of how many times he couldn't get past Brady in the playoffs.

We all love Cam, but there isn't anything wrong with just being honest when comparing two great QB's who will both end up in Canton.

Cam Newton is the best! Cam is greatly underrated. They copied of my guy, Cam & give him no credit. Cam is 1 of 1. Josh Allen is not greater! 

Cam got sh**ted on by two teams, so wrong. There is no reason why Cam should have been  shut down from playing the last 3 years. It’s bias.  Aaron  Rodgers, Kirk Cousins, still play, are older, & are not winning much. Sam Darnold, Andy Dalton, Baker Mayfield, Mac Jones, Jarrett Stidham, Brian Hoyer, etc., all got second & 3rd chances. 
 

Josh Allen is catching up with Cam only because they shut down my favorite Quarterback, Cam, & stopping him from playing. I still hurt! 😢

Cam Newton has a Heisman Trophy winner from his C1N Youth Football Team. His name is Travis Hunter, Jr. Cam has many top players in College & the NFL. His Youth Program, is the best in this country &  they were National Champions in 2021.  Travis Hunter was in that game.  
  Cam Newton does not get the National credits he deserves..

Patriots new Quarterback from

Tar Hills, NC, Drake Maye, recognized Cam as his MVP.  He said he mimicked playing like Cam as a young kid in his backyard..

The top writers in NE Patriots’s, area, wouldn’t credit Cam for it.  Cam had gotten snubbed too much.  I love Cam. He helped me learn about football! 👍💕🙏

Cam should have a statue outside BOA. Single handily made the Panthers relevant in the Nat'l media.

I get that Allen is amazing, but I'm gonna buck some of the glazing here.  IF we are talking PURELY PRIME...Cam.  Cam Newton in 2015 was a generationally transformational player.  Cams prime was ruined by injury in 2016, and he was never the same, but lets say the injury doesnt happen, his Prime continues.  Cam could make every single throw, he could run over people, he did things that Allen physically cant do and frankly as the tank he was no one ever has.

Simply put, you cant tell me that if tomorrow Allen takes a shot to his throwing shoulder that destroys his ability to push the ball deep (which is a lot of what makes allen special and what made Cam special...god his backfoot 60 yard on a rope to ted ginn against the raiders in 2016 pre injury is still one of the most insane throws I've ever seen) that everyone here would still say Allen over Cam.  We have to contextualize based on how long the "prime" window was, Cams window got slammed shut unfortunately and its a true shame.

There is no Allen without Cam. Funny they calling Allen Superman, guess who was the first QB called Superman?

 

Cam did it with much less. Look at all these QBs who wear #1. Can made that famous as well. Put some respect on Big Cam!

Nobody is disrespecting Cam by saying it's Allen.  Just as nobody is saying Cam didn't change the QB position to allow guys like Allen to be given a chance and then flourish.

But I don't know how anyone can look at the stats between them and objectively say that Allen hasn't surpassed Cam in terms of being a better QB, even if he still needs a few more seasons to pass Cam's totals.

Cam played 48 more games than Allen, which is almost 3 full seasons, but Allen is only 6,000 yards passing behind Cam, only 1,500 yards rushing behind Cam, and already only 11 rushing TDs behind him as well.

Allen already has 2 more passing TDs than Cam and has 40 less INTs than Cam had (.77 per game to .83 per game in Allen's favor).

Allen started his career out with a 53% and 59% completion percentages his first two seasons and hasn't been below 63.3% in the 5 years since then.  Cam only has 4 seasons in his career above 60% and only 1 of those was above that 63.3% that Allen has been above for the last 5 years.

(not to mention, that one season Cam had above Allen's number, was his one full season with CMC as the main RB, when he had literally 1/3rd of Cam's completed passes, mostly on screens of course which naturally would have boosted Cam's completion percentages)

Yes, the Bills have done a better job at putting quality pieces around Allen than we did, but that still doesn't change that Allen has surpassed Cam as a QB at this point.

And that's not a knock on Cam, he's still going to be in the HOF, he's still going to be my QB for ever.

It's just appreciating what Allen has become and looking at it objectively.

      Very intrigued how Morgan and Canales handle the offseason

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Way too many of y'allare panicking about Icky. He holds no cards right now. His agent knows it. He's under contract next year with the 5th year option and is in no place to demand a huge deal rehabbing from an injury with a very spotty recovery history for NFL players. Any deal that would be inked right now would be far off his healthy market value. What's he gonna a do? Hold out and forego $17M after suffering a potential career altering or even ending injury? There's no pressing need right now to do anything long-term with either Icky or Coker. Chill. The Panthers hold all the cards currently with both these situations.

      Here is what I think.  1.  Not sure about the contract with Ickey, but I would let him walk if he wants big money, sign him to a back load contract to play here in the future--as a guard.  I am guessing that knee would be better at G than LT.  Draft a LT and re-sign Nijman and BC if possible.   2.  I love Coker, but the injury history is not a deterrant.  I think we need a #2--Coker is an ideal #3 imo.  He can play #2 for 2026, but whatever you do, you sign him NOW.  He should not demand elite money--3 TDs for 395 yards is not negotiation gold.  Lock him up now on a contract that is aligned with that level of production. 3.  XL--this is an unpopular opinion, but we knew XL was developmental when we drafted him.   Maybe play him at the #3.  Financlally, you keep him on the roster and you hope to unlock his potential in year 3.  I am upset with him, but he has talent.  Can he put it together?  Unlikely, but we cant improve every position that we need to upgrade. 4.  the OL is interesting.  First, our guards are contractually locked in until 2027; moving either is not worth the cost.  Extend them if anything.  I do not see Ickey coming back as an OT--but maybe a G.  We must draft a LT and C or RT.  Re-sign Nijman and BC.  We must also bring in or draft a starting Center.  I am concerned that they re-sign Corbett late in free agency, when his price drops.  I think we will draft one.  (In other words, sign your depth--BC, Nijman, and maybe even Corbett and Cuhran.  Draft a center and OT. 5.  Sign a FA (Chenal) and add ILB depth later in draft.  Re-sign Rozeboom (reasonable contract--2-3m) 6.  This is why I do not believe in giving RBs second contracts--they rarely play up to them.  Nonetheless, Chuba is a leader, we have Entienne, and Brooks is going to give it another try.  Dowdle is gone.   What is not mentioned is the need for an edge--imo, we have to big edges that can hold the edge (Jones II, Scourton)  Princely and a free agent pass rushing specialist (Reddick?) should make edge better.

      1. Nothing. He's under contract. He may have been up for an extension before the injury but now you sit and wait it out.  2. He's an ERFA. Tender him at a high level for little money and then he's a RFA after next season where we have the right to match any offer he fields. Zero pressure to do anything here long-term. 3. I'd probably take literally any trade offer made. If there aren't any you bring him to camp to compete and see what happens. 4. I honestly expect an OT in the first 3 rounds with Moton's age and possible degenerative knee issues combined with Icky's serious injury. We have both immediate and long-term need there. A stopgap bandaid vet feels necessary either way. 5. Sign a legit vet (Chenal). Re-sign Rozeboom at backup contract levels. Then LB is high on the list in the draft. 6. Yes. He looked good down the stretch. I'd always have a late round RB as a potential pick though. It's top of the list for positions where you can find surprising value deep in the draft. Plus I just want to stack talent there so I don't have to pay vets. RB is a draft 'em and let somebody else pay 'em position unless you have a truly elite talent there. Don't pay "good" ones.
