Taylor Heinicke

4/9 for 35 yards and 0 TDs and 2 carries for 10 yards vs the Bears resulting in 7 points on a scoring drive.

8/12 for 78 yards and 1 TD and 1 carry for 4 yards vs the Bills. Also lead a two point conversion for 8 points scored.

DNP vs the Patriots

My conclusion is that if the Panthers lose Cam, we are done for the year. But, if we lose Cam it is far more exciting to watch Heinicke and Grier play than Allen. Allen got to run with our best preseason squad for basically four games and put up a combined 6 points while he was in the games. One field goal got blocked but even then you could say he should have put up 10 points. Grier and Heini both completed a higher percent of their passes, for more yards, they were basically a wash rushing the ball, but the one consistent of the preason was that Allen did nothing to score. If I had to pick a depth chart today knowing that Grier is absolutely going to be the #3 based on where we drafted him my chart is Cam > Heinicke > Grier > Allen. 

If its actually supposed to be a competition and the objective of the offense is to put points up on the board then Allen was by far the worst at it of all three. Bring on the hate but Taylor should be the 2 going into the season.

What about the stats from all practices and training camp? Pre season games are a glorified practice and I trust the coaches opinion on who will be the best backup for the team. Ron and Marty’s job is on the line, I doubt they take the backup qb selection lightly. 

This is a completely fair take but the issue of Allen vs Heini is that we know Allen almost exclusively has practiced with higher tier players than Heini. How can you judge them fairly then?

Because we needed another one of these threads. I'm almost positive that we will pick up a vet to be our #2

My thread was based on facts. Not just opinion. I could post the stats in another thread but it would get buried and nobody would see how poor our offense has been with Allen in vs the others.

Heini is a vet who practiced against higher tier players last year, and we know what we have with him. Allen has the higher ceiling and has grown a lot from year 1 to year 2

Facts about pre season game stats. If that’s the case Cam should have been benched his rookie year because he looked very rough in pre season.

    • i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with. 
    • FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.
    • Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
