Cam Newton out against the Texans

[ncsfinest21]

I think this is the first time cam has seen the game has passed him and he needs to step it up. Im a cam fan but Allen's performance yesterday was exactly what we need. Cam really had his probation days at the beginning of the season and I think he is definitely on a prove it situation the rest of this year. If Allen can work with these guys and have that type game there really is no excuse for Cam.

They Kevin Durant him

He Kevin Durant himself

should not have been playing two weeks after the injury in preseason

should not play until  doctors independent from the team completely clears him

Unless Allen really poos the bed, Cam is just done in Charlotte. This team looked completely say and night with Allen out there. Way more energy, much better body language from the players to the coaches etc. 

When Cam played the last two games this team looked downright depressing with no energy. 

Maybe......Because we LOST.

At this point you keep starting the QB with the hot hand. Even a coach like Rivera can't fug that up.

I'm really hoping the Panthers struck gold with Allen. We have absolutely been due some good fortune.

Well, that was fast.  So much for Cam being "day to day."  I wonder if Allen shows out again against Houston if this foot injury of Cams turns into an IR type situation?

He did not want the questions.  This makes RR's decision easier.

There isn’t  a QB controversy yet.  But if he plays well against the Texans that may change.  If he can get us to 3-3 against the Texans, Jags, and Bucs in London it could be his job.  But the Texans will be a tough game.  And the Jag defense is no joke. But they are running with Mineshew.  

Still I haven’t seen the offense look this good since 2015.  But it was against the Cardinals.  This week will be a good barometer of who Allen actually is.

Allen made that choice a hell of a lot easier than it could have been. 

May not mean much, but it is kinda hard not to notice just how quickly that decision was made.

Cam had something to do with that.

If Kyle keeps winning, I don’t care if Cam is healthy or not... wins come first.  No player is more important than the team.  I have had exhausting arguments with fans of other teams for YEARS, constantly defending Cam till I’m blue in the face.  I love the guy.  He dresses like a weirdo, but whatever.  As long as he wins, I’m good.  Problem is, he isn’t the Cam that I’ve defended anymore... as sad as it is to think about, the era *might* be over.  

If Cam is 100% healthy and Allen has been less than stellar, of COURSE you play Cam.

Even if Allen stinks it up in Houston, this is likely the last year for Cam in Charlotte.

Ron saying that Cam needs to rest is BS. Everyone knows that if Allen had crapped his pants against Arizona that Cam would be playing this week.

Which is why he hasn’t been healthy in a while.

I agree and most football scholars would too--BUT RR loves his veterans and he owes his career to Cam--will be interesting to see if he has the maturity to put that aside and consider the greater good.

And also, the O line, Dj fumbling, coaches not running a QB sneak on a forth and inches.

Your point?

His job is on the line.

My point is there are numerous reasons the team wins and loses--like in baseball, the team may commit 3 errors and get 2 hits, but who gets the loss?  I agree with all you say, but Cam was not good.  If he had been, those things would never have been issues.
