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

Right now Allen is our best qb.  If they put Newton in and we lose Ron sb fired 

I wouldn't go that far.

If you're going to make the decision to put Newton back in, you have to stay with him. You can't hit the panic button just because of a loss.

Not putting Newton back in is a valid option at this point, but you have to weigh all the factors, make whatever decision you make and stick with it.

If Allen has another good game in SF and it is a win you can't bench him. Ride him till he struggles.

Fug it, I'm laying it out there....can the Panthers win the SB with Allen behind center?   Go..........................

I don't know yet.

Obviously, we can win regular season games with him, but I still want to see him play against better teams.

See, I don't agree with using the term that way. That definition fits a system quarterback, not a game manager.

That's the way I define a game manager. Good enough to win on a great team, not good enough to step up and carry the team when necessary, regardless of system.

I can't really go with that either.

If you make the decision that he's your starter, you need to stick with him even if he does struggle.

Every quarterback is going to have struggles. If you're swapping starters anytime somebody has a rough game, you become Jon Gruden.

If we keep winning, each week you will see a "leaked" report that Cam is still rehabbing his injury and isn't ready yet. Makes it easier on the coach not to have to answer the question about putting Cam back behind center.

We played the best run defense in the League and they dared Allen to beat them with his arm.  They held CMC in check in the rushing attack and yet we still won...is that not a check in the box for Kyle Allen?

If we don’t then he has to finish the season.

Put Cam on IR

Spurrier the NFL coach didn't win jack sh-t.

Neither did Gruden once he actually had to develop a quarterback.

The Bucs offense gave us a loooooot of help today.

I want to see what happens when we play a more complete team.

[45catfan]

Look I'm not saying Allen is Mahomes, Rodgers or even Brees, but is he good enough to get us where we want to go?  I'm starting to lean heavily to yes!

[rico6]

Don’t see why you’d toss Cam back in unless he’s fit enough to play. Ride the hot hand in Kyle until he cools off.

Allen played very well today, but Jameis Winston was our best QB today. When you get six takeaways you have to REALLY screw up to lose the game.
