Can't argue with you there, but it's going to take more than this one game. Personally, I just want the best guy, regardless if he's on the roster or not.

I think that it's imperative to get better protection so that we can get better clarity. Atlanta's pass rush was hell last week (not excusing Heinike's bad decisions).

Right on--agree.

The vast majority of the backup depth decisions are made on little more than two or three games every preseason.

It's not like we regularly get a larger sample size.

It may have been a meaningless game for New Orleans, but it wasn't for the Panthers. Sunday's 33-14 victory ended a seven-game losing streak and kept Carolina from becoming the first team to go from 6-2 to 6-10 since the league expanded to a 16-game schedule in 1978. It also wasn't meaningless for quarterback Kyle Allen before leaving with a shoulder injury in the fourth quarter. In his first NFL, start the undrafted rookie showed he may belong in this league. It also wasn't meaningless for center Ryan Kalil and defensive end Julius Peppers. Kalil is retiring and Peppers, 38, may be too.

Yes so fans shouldn't act like they knew it all along ..  And the same bunch of fans didn't bring up this idea 6 weeks ago.. And if this something a coach should have done??

Let me know what coach Started a undrafted rookie they cut in the preseason during a playoff run in the middle of the season??

DON'T WORRY I'LL WAIT..

WTF- coaches see the players every day--do you?

Point is not that he should have started 6 games ago.

Point is that perhaps there is a talent in Allen , not recognized.

Wouldn't be the 1st time under this regime.

Sorry. I'm actually more interested in having an adult conversation than talking with you.

I'd have somebody more on your level talk to you instead, but I don't have a 10 year old handy.

Then why are you still talking to me.. I've already Express my dislike for you and the fact I think you're a bitch.. And you still keep replying..  So either you like the abuse or realize you're talking to a higher level person with a good BS detector system going..

You consider this "talking to you"?

Okay.

Please show us this .. Post or it didn't happen.. 

I said it for sure. On multiple occasions. Nothing against Heinicke, who has heart, but Gilbert WAS better in the preseason. Not by a long shot, but he was better.

Gilbert was also 2-3 today for 40 yards. But I digress...Allen is the backup now. He’s earned it. I underestimated him.

Or point could be he wasn't showing this level of talent early (because he was a undrafted rookie) .. And as the season went along he got better... Accumulating into a good performance against a team who didn't give a poo.. So you really can't blame the coach for not seeing this talent.. None of us saw this in the preseason or in TC and now we shouldn't act like we did.. Right??

Also there was a fact that he was on and off the roster most of the season.. So Ron didn't see him most of the season anyway..

I'd agree that Allen earned a spot higher than Taylor Heinicke, and that's if Heinicke is even brought back (which I wouldn't guarantee).

Still can't see going ahead and naming him the backup though. Giving him a chance to compete for the job next season though? Absolutely.

To be honest, the quarterback that made the worst possible argument for being the Panthers backup next season was probably Teddy Bridgewater.

      Snow in the high country

      By rayzor · Posted

      yeah. winter backpacking trips were the most miserable and amazing experiences. same with the coldest and snowiest hunting  experiences. i love being in it. makes for incredible memories. the worse it was, the more i ended up loving it. made the greatest memories.  i just want to get out of it afterwards.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
