When did Brady play for the Panthers? 
 

He didn’t! 
 

Cam beat Brady both times when he beat him as a Patriot. 

 

Brady didn’t ever beat Cam when he was the main Quarterback as Brady was in New England. 
 

 

I think some of that is Bill Belichick often struggled w/ QBs who play outside of a set structure and could ad lib.   Watson had a lot of success vs Bill.  Cam did.  Think Lamar has.

Hard to say because Buffalo has had a much better oline and, prior to this year, much better WRs.

All I can say is that it was a crime with how little talent we gave Cam on offense after year 1. He had Olsen and a couple years of CMC and that is it... all while having a somewhat good oline for 1, maybe 2, years.

That being said, Josh Allen seems like a good dude and hope he does well. I can get behind Buffalo winning a Superbowl, especially since they have taken so much of our sloppy seconds the past 5ish years

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.

And add on retarded Mike Shula asking Remmers to block Von Miller 1-on-1 the entire game... Easily one of the worst called offenses I have ever seen in a Superbowl by an OC

Allen is the better passer... but it took him at least 3 years to get there. Cam was working on that but the shoulder injury ended that effort. I'd give Cam the slight edge from a scrambling standpoint. Don't really factor in playoff success since there's outside factors at play. For example, Allen may have more on the offensive side to help him, but he doesn't have a Luke on defense.

Most importantly, however, is that I often find comparisons between current and former players to be a bit unfair. Current players are often inspired by who they idolized growing up and want to be much like them and, sometimes, end up being better than them.

Allen. He is going to break all of Cam's records. And by "Cam's records", I mean the ones people use to say Cam was so great/different. But Allen has more tools than that. You won't hurt your Panther fandom to admit Allen is a better QB.

Today's game should be a reminder that, no. Just no.

 

But also, like Cam always says on his show "4th and 1, where I. ALWAYS. GOT. IT. DONE"

He got there because Clete wasn't the ref until the super bowl.

Allen was unfortunate enough to get Clete to job him in the championship game (Allen got the first and there is no way in Hell that Worthy caught the jump ball).

lame excuses

    • I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?
    • I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
