Thing about it is, you weren't wrong about Jake.

But I was wrong about Matt.

you can STFU, Pepe

If this forum is dying, it is because of dumbasses with agendas that post illogical threads hating on our generational players and compare them to unrelated situations on other teams in the past.

 

Since you enjoyed the the first bag of dicks so much, have another AND ANOTHER FRESH BAG OF DICKS!!

I think all the Brady talk is nuts. 

But I do remember an UDFA balling out and taking us to the Super Bowl at QB. 

When Brady came out everybody said the "next Montana" talk was nuts.

Most of what I have read think that Cam may be done not that they want him gone.

And that's the distinction.  Critical thinking ftw!

Not saying that Kyle Allen will be Tom Brady, but...remember that?  The Patriots were done without Bledose.  Brady was a 6th round pick out of Michigan.  NOBDODY predicted his success.  He's pretty much the GOAT now.  Hell, I remember myself talking to other people saying the Pats were dead. And btw, at that time the Pats weren't poo, kind of like we are now.

Kyle Allen has had a couple of pretty damn good games. And I'll be the first to admit that the Saints game last year was bullshit in my mind.  But if he can keep this up, then count me in.

I brought up this exact same scenario in the preseason --- but with Will Grier.

The parallels are pretty incredible.  Bledsoe was the #1 pick, had taken his team to a Super Bowl, Pro Bowl starter, and had just signed the largest contract in NFL history....and he got replaced by a 6th rounder.

Cam's resume is very similar, and Grier is a 3rd rounder.  

In that scenario, while HIGHLY IMPROBABLE, history would show you that it certainly is possible. 

There is NFW Kyle Allen has a career like Tom Brady but if as an undrafted QB he does end up permanently supplanting Cam it will be similarly astounding to the Bledsoe-Brady situation.

Who knows what will happen but it's gonna be pretty darn interesting to watch and Allen's performance this week will be very telling.

What accomplishments did Drew Bledsoe have?

#1 pick in 1993 NFL draft.

Youngest QB to pass for 10,000 yds.

Youngest QB to pass for 20,000 yds.

3 Pro Bowls in 1st 5 yrs.

2X Super Bowl participant as starter & backup.

Highest paid player in the NFL at one time.

New England Patriots Hall of Fame.

Couple of interesting notes, when his career was winding down he had some bad games and was replaced by another undrafted QB --- one Tony Romo!

Bledsoe handled his departure with such aplomb that he is beloved there.  Each time (3) he returned as a player he was cheered.  Patriots elected him to their Hall of Fame.  Patriots made him an honorary captain at the 2018 AFC Championship game.  The Patriots won that game and Bledsoe presented the Lamar Hunt Trophy to Patriots owner Robert Kraft after the game.

You probably aren't old enough to have seen Drew Bledsoe play but he was a QB's QB and one helluva player.

Yeah I remember Bledsoe and he definitely conducted himself with class and professionalism.

Most of us on here are Panthers fans first and foremost. I could give a damn whether it's Cam Newton or Kyle Allen leading this team. Whoever gives us the best chance to win is who I want to see out there. I have no ill will towards Cam whatsoever. But the Cam that played against Tampa isn't taking us anywhere. I really hope Cam can regain his mvp form because then we'd be super bowl contenders. But until he shows anything close to that, we seem to be better off rolling with Kyle Allen and seeing where he can take us.
