Cam had games end just like that on a bad shoulder last season.

What were you saying about Cam after those games I just mentioned?

During the latter part of last year, I remember the most common sentiment about Newton being "He's clearly hurt. Why are we still trotting him out there?"

Cam could take the field with an amputated leg and lose on a missed FG and the We Hate Cam Club would demand he be sent to Serbia

And he was murdered for it.

Redskins

Lions

Browns

etc.

Will Kyle Allen? Or will you just show your own bias?

Cam had games like this his 1st year here. Don't think he was murdered for it.

Yeah, but you know... he's not white, so got to go with the HOT HAND.

What would this board be saying if Cam made this throw with the game on the line? He’d get murdered but somehow Allen is being praised.

Exactly lol

It's amazing how people can't understand a backup QB with a half-dozen starts will be judged differently than a former league MVP.

Doesn’t make the double standard any less obvious or egregious

I don't see it as a double standard. MVPs are expected to perform at a high level. A backup QB is going to be praised for nearly winning on the road vs arguably the best team in the NFC despite two turnovers. It's all about expectations. Cam Newton has higher expectations (and rightfully so) than Kyle Allen. So the bar for Kyle to be praised is lower.

I'd probably say he should've set his feet and made the throw. Because he's a 9-year pro and former league MVP, not a backup who's played in a half dozen games. 

Why is it hard to understand that we expect more from Cam because he's a better player?

So is he’s a “better player” and a “MVP” only when it’s time to criticize him?
