I don't think we can bench Kyle Allen...

The Rams got pretty well manhandled today by the team we face next.

Hell the Rams lost to the Bucs giving up 55 points, world beaters they are not this season.

Yeah but this isnt right context. We played small ball starting with 5 mins left in the 3rd quarter. Also we had some short fields with the TOs....and CMAC had an off game. Most of those yards are through the air. 

Its called... we're up 34 to 10 let's just chew clock.

Is that perception actually accurate though? With over 5 minutes to go in the 3rd we started what would be a 9 play TD drive. 5 passes, 4 runs. The next drive started with under 13 minutes to go in the game. Three and out. 2 passes, 1 run.  The next drive started with under 10 to go. 2 passes, 3 runs.  

We really only took our foot off the gas and became lopsidedly run heavy in our last two drives with under 5 minutes to go.

That's not being healthy. Cam has already proven he will lie about his health to the detriment of this team. He no longer gets the benefit of the doubt. He now has to prove he is ready to be starter again.

It's unbelievable how many fans don't understand that it's the norm for players to downplay injuries. That's football culture. They've been taught all their lives that if they can get medical clearance they're expected to play. If not, they're labeled as "soft".

The Panthers need to play the guy that gives them the best chance to win regardless of what consequences it has for Newton, Allen or anybody else..

Who that is right now is the only question that matters.

There’s a lot more at stake than just winning this year. Tepper wants to win every year, and letting Cam go into next year not knowing what he can do could end up being a costly mistake.

I don't blame players for wanting to play.

Yeah, there does often come a point when it's actually detrimental, but good luck getting guys with competitive enough personalities to play in the NFL to recognize that.

I’m sorry but a 100% healthy cam is much better than kyle Allen. The defense is playing insanely good The Golden Calf of Bristol could’ve won that game today. If your defense forces 7 Turnovers and you don’t win you’re trash I don’t put much stock into this game. Show me Allen winning a shootout Against a good team where our defense plays bad and i might change my mind

Brady is arguably the biggest "game manager" in the NFL.

Tom Brady is the greatest ever far from a game manager put some respect on his name

You play to win the games you're playing right now and then figure out the other stuff later.

I seriously doubt you know what "game manager" actually means.

[SBiii]

Me either.

We will be a global laughingstock if we do.

If game manager means the best quarterback ever by a wide margin then I guess I don’t know what it means

Coaches and players are coaching and playing for their jobs, and you think they're going to sacrifice wins to see if an injured player can get their mojo back. Smh

Game manager is used improperly as an insult. It's frequently confused with the term "system quarterback".

In reality, game management is a skill that every quarterback needs to have. Thus, every quarterback is a game manager, including Cam Newton.

Some do a good job managing the game, some don't, but it's a responsibility that all of them are tasked with and need to perform in order to win games.
