We do not win a playoff game without Cam at QB

With CMC doing the things hes doing, we could definitely win a playoff game.  Even more so with some of the injured guys on D back.   And Allen has potential, despite today's less than stellar performance.

Sure.

 

Solid run game and defense. That is the formula for a ton of playoff wins historically

Very true but we are not throwing the ball well at all. Cam is an upgrade over Allen when healthy and we need what he brings to the table in order to compete in the playoffs. If our goal is to try to run CMC to death and win a wild card game I can see it, but no way we are going deep with Allen at QB and competing for a super bowl. We need Cam back for that.

Here's it in a nutshell. QB awareness. Allen or Cam? Cam. I trust Cam with better pocket awareness. Accuracy. Allen or Cam? Allen for now. A healthy Cam is more lethal than Allen. Scrambling. Not even a question. We need Cam back. Im not saying Allen is a scrub he has managed and done well and taken what has came to him. But only 1 of the 3 games we played can we say he has done it with his arm. I think Cam will be back after the bye or after Tennessee. He should be practicing again the week of the bye. Bring him back slowly. Let him practice throwing in place with nothing but hip rotation and movement. Slowly increase his work load from bye week and let Allen play against the 49ers and see what he does the week of the Titans.

How many yds did we run for yesterday?

True I think our line is good enough to win games including the playoffs. Yesterday’s performance was very impressive with two key starters out, one arguably our best linemen. I believe we have all the pieces in place and a healthy Cam will put us over the top. We are extremely fortunate to have Allen and I am excited about his future, but I don’t think we compete for a championship this year with Allen. We need a healthy Cam for that.

Last time Cam won a playoff game was 4 years ago. In 2017 we were one and done with Newton. And this year with a less than 100% Cam with all this talent we were 0-2. So before we talk about needing Cam for the playoffs, let's see what the new healthy Cam plays like. If he returns to his old self and can run and pass with good accuracy then yeah we need that guy. But if he can't run, his passing is going to need to  get much better and consistent.

You roll with him in the playoffs if Cams foot is healed up? Also do you think he has played well the last two weeks? Football is a team sport and we don’t win today if it wasn’t for CMC’s amazing play and Burns scoring a TD 

Playoffs? Jesus Christ!!!! If Allen gets us to the playoffs despite the excuses we allow Cam, then you're definitely not a Panthers fan. And yes football is a team sport, 52 dudes don't ride 1 guys coattails to glory. Ever thought for a second,  that those guys respond to a team concept?

I wouldn’t go that far.  This team just needs to continue to improve.  We have a lot of young guys take the field each week who will hopefully only get better as the season goes on.  Getting Little, Turner and Jackson back will also be huge.  
 

Trent Dilfer won a superbowl for goodness sakes....Allen can certainly lead this team to playoff wins if we play solid team football.

    • 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.
