Official Carolina Panthers at Houston Texans Gameday Thread!

The things that Allen has been doing right are traits you don't often see in young quarterbacks out of the gate. Specifically his poise and pocket movement behind a developing OL.

That and his accuracy/timing/rhythm with the receivers gives me hope that even if he struggles some against Houston, he still has the tools to win games for us. There will inevitably be some ups and downs with any quarterback. If that happens the usual village idiots will turn on him, but those of us that have actually watched the Panthers play over the years know what to expect from a young QB.

This ain't the Panthers we've grown accustomed to since Cam was drafted - with holes and ignored positions all over the place.

2 dynamic receivers. And quality 3 and 4!

One of the most dynamic running backs in the NFL.

A revamped offensive line going into their 4th game together. 

Greg Olsen still has something in the tank.

Upgraded pass rush!

2 starting caliber cornerbacks!

2 starting caliber safeties - been a looonnngg time since this was the case!

All this team needs is consistent, healthy QB play. Anything more and they'll blow the Texans out.

Oh, forgot to mention an actual NFL caliber offensive coordinator!

I'd put this team against anyone right now! No homer!

any word on donte yet?   interested to see how we do against watson.  he's really good.  also want to see how the o-line does, and of course excited for kyle 'hall of fame, 2 way player, about to get 60mil/yr' allen.   i'm expecting a very physical game.  hoping nobody gets hurt, specially watson.  they're putting him in the same situation down there cam got put in and i hate it for him.

I think it's going to be a close game, unless our defense just tears up the Texan's line. If that happens, it's Katie-bar-the-door. Of course, if they tear up ours, it's the same.

The offensive lines will be the decision makers today. I like our running game, but their passing game might, just might, be a bit better than ours. 

I think Allen will have a solid game and keep us in it. I'd love to see him take home another win.

    • I saw that too--and what you said made sense because there is something like that in the rules--said that he is unlikely to get picked up (and I was not suggesting that we do) and Jones wants to go to a winning team.   After getting beaten to death in NY behind a sub par OL, poor WRs, and brutal fan base, I get it. 
    • True.  Sam and Baker did not do well here but went on to better things under better coaching, circumstances or both.  The real question is, ‘why aren’t the Panthers able to get improved performance out of ‘broken toys’, similar to Minnesota and Tampa? That is a rhetorical question.  I think we know the answer.   [The cultural reference to Pogo dates me, I’ll admit.]
    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.
