Imagine If Kyle Allen is Lights Out on Sunday. But Cam is Ready for Week 4.

[App Panther]

Let's just stop and picture Kyle Allen repeats his Saints game performance from last year against the Cardinals this Sunday and picking up a decisive win in the process.

Let's also imagine Cam is ready to play Week 4. What do you do? Let Cam start Week 4 on a short leash?

[Mr. Scot]

I sign out of this board and I don't log back on until 2020.

You'd sign out if Kyle Allen does well this Sunday? Or you'd sign out if Cam is just straight up benched in favor of Allen?

Who is making the call?  Ron?

If so, Cam will play, as I think that he should.  That said, this is very unlikely to happen.

[Waldo]

No thank you. I'd rather imagine new people to run the team.

Depends on Cam's health. If he's not 100% and this happens then great. Keep rolling with Allen. But there's not a universe where a healthy Cam is worse than a healthy Allen.

Regardless of what conditions cause them, quarterback controversies tend to get ugly.

I'd rather try to kick a field goal with an ingrown toenail.

That would be a great situation to have.  Personally, I think until Cam is well enough for the team to actually call QB runs (or at least the threat of them), then Cam is not well enough to play.

I don't think Cam is going to miss extended time (although I could be wrong), but I do think he misses these next 2 games.

That would give him almost 3 weeks to recover.  If he's not ready by then... maybe IR is a serious consideration

If Kyle Allen balls out the truth about Cams health will finally come to light 

[Seltzer]

And to be clear, I would take a truly healthy Cam 100 times out of 100...

Cam's problems have not been due to QB incompetence in terms of making the right reads or knowing where to go with the ball (his lone INT so far was just a hell of a play by Littleton).  Cam is not confused out there

Cam just can't physically put the ball where it needs to be.

This is true

[SmokinwithWilly]

If Allen plays lights out, going in to week 4 you have to keep rolling with him, even if Cam is healthy. If this offense finally gets a rythem going, I say you play it until it doesn't. Cam didn't look good in his last 2 starts and right now wins are more important.

I love the optimism, but Without Cam, I doubt we win more than 3 games this year. Although, with Cam we haven’t won any so what the hell do I know...?

If Allen gives the team the best chance to win then he should remain the starter - no questions asked. 

The Panthers have to stop with this undeserved loyalty. The coaches' jobs are to do whatever is necessary to win games. Unless you're the Dolphins and tanking for Tua.
