Speculation is Cam will start after the bye.

I don't disagree with the reasons why Cam was struggling. Injuries and lack of practice time are a huge factor. But mid-season you can't replace a healthy QB that is winning with one that hasn't practiced in a month or played well in almost a year. If/when Allen struggles and the team loses, it's Cam time (when he's healthy)

yep. 

and we can't forget, one of the big reasons Ron stated Cam struggled so much w/ his passing w/ lack of practice because of injury. 

So when Cam returns fully healthy.....that likely means a runner that really struggles w/ the type passes Allen hits.

If the panthers are 5-3 or 6-2 then, Cam sits.  If he returns under those conditions, RR has lost his mind.

6-2 or 5-3 and Allen needs to constantly be bailed out by the defense like last week, Cam plays.  I’m sure he could at least be a game manager and if he’s 100% then he could be a lot more!  6-2 or 5-3 and Allen plays like he did @ Arizona, then you’re right, RR has lost his mind.

I think the Houston game was an aberration for Allen. Houston's defense got a lot of pressure on him and got some lucky punches on the ball. Allen also needs to learn where to drop so his protection can help him the best. He notably started dropping back a little further later in the game and it helped. 

My concern is more the offensive line. Trai Turner going down is a huge loss. Now Greg Little, who has looked good so far, is hurt. A patchwork O-Line is going to hurt Allen than anything else. That's bad for Cam or whoever starts at QB.

I took heat for stating that Newton could be mentally exhausted. Here are the facts, Newton has a bummed ankle, which limits his mobility. I still haven’t seen Newton throw the ball 40 or more yards since 2017. Newton is a generational player, but what separates Cam from any other QB is currently missing. I would rather go with Allen because he may be able to throw 40+ yards, which will force teams to keep a safety back, thus opening more room for McCaffery. A limited Cam, sort of limits other players too. I’m not dumping on Cam, that’s my QB, but Allen currently gives us the best chance to win. I don’t know about y’all, but Hurney and Ron are about out of chances.

[DamnItJake!]

Next 2 games will determine who the QB is.. we win both then it’s obvious Allen!! Especially after the Bucs trampled LA!! Got to stick with what’s working!! No racial pun intended in between the lines, since people in the Huddle loves to pull that card!!

Ron is loyal. I'll be very surprised if Cam is fully healthy and don't start.

If Cam is going to start against the 49'ers on October 27th.....

....when will he need to start practicing in order to be 100% healthy and 100% prepared?

Seems like 2 weeks minimum would be in order, no?

That would imply Cam hits the practice field next week at some point.

How we feeling about that?

If Cam is 100% he gives us the best chance to win period.

In your opinion, how far in advance of his next start does he need to start practicing in order to be prepared for the rigors of NFL competition?

If cam does come back this year it would be a miracle this injury takes a year and a half to heal  same injury ended TD’s  career

Don’t care if it’s after the bye, hold him out until he’s 100% healthy and not a hair less. 

Exactly. This a 10000000000 percent. STOP RUSHING CAM BACK.

You not gonna win a SB with a 40-90 percent Cam. If Mvp 100% Cam couldn't do it what makes yo think this broken version will?

Panthers front office so dam stupid. That's why people dont have faith in this team.
