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.

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.

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.

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.

probably reputation

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.

      Shaq Thompson to Enter Free Agency

      He said himself in his interviews today that he is more of a chess piece to move around and mentioned he's been working a lot with Nolan Smith jr.

      Who Has to Be Off the Board to Trade Back?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Here is how we move back:  First, Offensive tackle is not good in free agency.  The Draft: The Jets need a LT.  Will Campbell is the consensus best Tackle in the draft, and they take him.  All those other teams (I count 6-8 who need a T--and I see KC STARVING for one after the Super Bowl) decide they need to move up to get the best pure LT in the draft, Kelvin Banks out of Texas.  After Banks and Campbell, there is a pretty sharp drop in talent level, dropping from A players to B players. The next two OTs are Right Tackles, so anyone needing a LT would have to hope the fifth overall OT, Wyatt Milum (arguably) would be there at the end of the first round.  Knowing that so many bidders are doing the same thing and they all have phones, I honestly think that Campbell or Banks is there when the Panthers pick and the phone will be ringing.  If they both go before the Panthers pick, crickets.  Here is the Math: Likely to be gone when Panthers pick: Ward, QB Carter, Edge Sanders, QB Graham, DL Hunter, WR/CB Likely to be available when Panthers pick:  There are 2 picks before the Panthers pick once those five get gone.  Among those are these players: McMillan WR Johnson, CB Will Campbell, OT James Pearce, Edge Javon Walker, Superhero.  If we only had 10 more.  (LB) Kelvin Banks, OT Now, if I am a GM on a team that needs an OT, I feel fairly strong that an OT is not going in the top 5.  I am working on potential trades for the seventh and eighth picks, ready to make a deal as soon as Campbell or Banks goes off the board. The Raiders pick 6th--they have needs at OT, WR, and CB if you assume they sign a QB in free agency; I think Darnold goes there, personally.   Regardless, there are no QBs worth #7 overall (unless Sanders falls), so they will draft an OT or CB--in my view,.  They are going to shop in free agency with a lot of $$$.  I am guessing they get their CB then.  the Raiders' will likely draft OT Campbell, but do not rule out TMac:   Biggest Weaknesses: Quarterback Offensive Tackle Cornerback Wide Receiver Running Back The Jets pick 8th.  Of course, their phone will be ringing off the hook for Banks if this happens, and the Jets have many needs now that Rodgers and Adams are gone.  While they too need an OT, they have more pressing needs as well.  Edge rusher is their biggest need listed here after QB, but their defense was ranked #3 in the NFL last year (I was surprised).  Their offense was ranked 23rd.  They will be focused on revamping the Offense with the losses of Rodgers and Adams.  I see them taking a T or Tmac.  Biggest Weaknesses: Quarterback Edge-Rusher Wide Receiver Safety Interior Defensive Line Offensive Tackle In this scenario, the only ways the Panthers can trade back is: 1. If the Raiders do not take an OT and the Jets do. 2. If the Jets refuse trade offers and take the best available edge or WR at #7. 3. Both OTs are gone and a team wants the best CB or WR in the draft and is willing trade up.  I do not see a lot of depth in this draft at CB or #1 WR.  What may cause the Panthers to stay put and pick:  1. Edge.  They see Pearce or Green as part of the second-tier edges and need one of them. 2. They like TMac and see the offense taking the next step with him, knowing they can address IDL in round 2 and have Clowney and Wonnum for another season.  3.  The do not re-sign Mike Jax and need an outside CB and have the chance to draft Johnson to pair with Horn.  4.  They fall in love with Walker and Evero develops a boner on how to use him properly.  From this perspective, I would give the chance of trade back slightly under 50% I would speculate that if we draft, we take Pearce, Johnson, or McMillan.  I do not see Walker being a good fit here, but I understand why some of you like him.
