Bottom Line on Allen in this game.

[panthers55]

Let's be honest folks. Everything is forgiven as long as you win and criticized if you lose.  That goes for Allen and Cam alike. Allen has gotten a pass because we have won both starts. If we had lost the critics would-be out in full force.

QFT

When Jon Beason came in and made it no longer necessary to pray daily that Dan Morgan wouldn't get injured again, that was a bad thing for Dan Morgan, but it was a good thing for the Panthers.

When Luke Kuechly came in and showed that even if Beason was fully healthy he was just better, that was a bad thing for Jon Beason. But again, it was a good thing for the Panthers.

When something is better for the Panthers, that's what I want. If it's bad for a player, I sympathize for them, but that's football. It's a game that chews people up and spits them out. And if you don't know that going in, you're not paying attention.

I really feel like this shouldn't be difficult to understand.

Not really. Allen has no critics here, but there’s a fugton of posters who will stop at nothing to take a dig at Cam whenever they can.

There are threads on here critical of Allen. And Cam will get his chances when he is healthy. I don't understand the controversy or negativity. As long as we keep winning I don't care who the QB is. It takes the team to win or lose like today. The defense really stepped up. Cockrell was a beast.

Who is majority of the huddlers? The Texans are an average team. Defense is actually below average. This was a game we should have won no matter the QB. 

It's so easy to say the Texans are average after we won the game.  smh

Go re-read the thread yesterday on picking the game. It will define the word majority for you.

Going into this game we had one of the worst OLines in the league.  There was no way Allen could see the other guy coming two out of three times.

Love the players, but unless you're a bandwagon fan, team always comes first.

Football is a violent and unforgiving profession. 

The vast majority of players don't last more than a few years before their careers are over. 

Those that last more than a decade are rare indeed.

Even the vast majority of guys that do last a long time wind up looking like shells of their former selves before they leave.

And happy endings are extremely rare.

I said this after last week, but the guy whose stock drops with what we have seen from Allen is Grier.  He was drafted to be the solid #2, although in fairness, probably not just yet. But, if this continues, the only way that job is open is if Cam can't get healthy. 

Thus far, Allen has done exactly what you want from a backup, and more than most do.  He has put the team in a position to win games.  And for the Panthers, not been killed by our OL.

I had a conversation with a manager at my job a few years back where I ran down the weaknesses of half the quarterbacks in the league, Brady included. He called me a quarterback hater.

I'm really not. It's more that quarterbacks are so ridiculously overhyped these days that if you give them an honest analysis, people think it's hate.
