I believe in Kyle Allen

[Seoul_Panther]

I hope he plays well just so that all the Cam fanatics can stop pooposting Kyle because they can't admit that Cam's been a liability this season. It's not Kyle's fault. 

Also yeah because he's a Panther player and weirdly therefore I want to see him and the team do well.

[GoobyPls]

I believe in Allen way more than Grier. At least Allen has an arm and is somewhat mobile

I remember a game that DWilliams was the read option QB because the Panthers had nobody else after the Weinke got concussed. I hope this game does not turn into that...

But the Panthers did win that game. Maybe CMC for the read option!

I'm a Kyle Allen fan. 

Actually I'm a fan of Grier and Newton also.  Count Rivera and Hurn-dog in there as well.

Weird, huh?

I'm a fan of the Panthers.

When there are people whose presence makes the Panthers worse, I'm not a fan of those people.

I'm not a fan of Marty Hurney and Ron Rivera.

If I were Coach Rivera, I'd ask Jake Delhomme to give Allen a call sometime this week and explain that it can be done and a no name guy can literally come off the bench and take a team to the Super Bowl.

Delhomme had Todd Steussie and Jeno James watching his blind side, with Kris Mangum and Jermaine Wiggins as TEs. A young Jordan Gross was manning the RT spot (make your own Moton comparison) with Kevin Donnalley and a veteran Jeff Mitchell at center. Honestly, Allen's got a better grouping in front of him with massive upgrades at the tight end position.

CMC offers more options than Stephen Davis (who was a hard nosed runner of the highest caliber) and I think Armah is a nice successor to Brad Hoover, if used properly. And while Moose and Smitty were incendiary that year, there's a lot to cheer about with Samuel and DJ. 

If Allen goes out there and somehow finds that ultimate underdog magic that Jake had, this could work. Just like back then, we've got a defense that can keep us in just about any game.

Or at least, that's what I'm hoping.

i'm hoping he makes it through the game.  that list of names on the cards d up above is pretty scary

[rayzor]

I predict he'll look ok until that OL lets him get massacred.

Saints played their starters on D and most on offense too. Pretty much only one who sat was Brees, and Kamara only played a handful of snaps. The D didn’t change much and Thomas and their starting OL played the whole game. Of course, you can question how much game planning went into it but he wasn’t facing backups last year.

Scot knows.

He has an agenda.

On a somewhat related note...

Shaquil Barrett named NFC Defensive Player of the Week

That same Saints team almost went to the Super Bowl just a few weeks later.

I think you'd have a pretty difficult time suggesting that we got their best players or best effort on that day, especially when they had nothing to play for.

That game was basically a glorified preseason exhibition.

I am an optimist by nature but let's be honest here: Allen is only the least worst option. The tallest midget is still a midget..

Fan is short for fanatic.  That means I'm not worried about whether my feelings and/or opinions are "right" or how much pie I get on a message board.  I have no illusions that I am an armchair GM or coach or even owner.  But I am a fanatic when it comes to the Carolina Panthers.  I root for these current members of the Carolina Panthers to succeed.  I don't care that the Kalil's aren't starters for their new teams.  Or that CJ was released again.  And I'm certainly not interested in the opinions of pat fans and saint fans.
