Allen is a good backup QB but he's not a long-term starter. This isn't a bad thing. You need a backup QB too.

Still think he could potentially be a starter, but if so it's likely gonna be a while.

Kind of doubt we're going to wait that long for a starter.

Plenty of QBs can be starters but most of them aren't quality. Kyle just doesn't have it. That's okay. He was a UDFA. A quality backup is still a damn good UDFA. The truth always comes out on QBs as NFL DCs start compiling film on them. The truth seems to be that Allen is in that good backup/subpar starter category.

What's weird there is that at least for the first couple of series, it looked like Washington wasn't going to handle him very well.

Whatever they adjusted, they got it right.

The Kid deserves a chance to start behind even a fair to middling line. CMC's failure on the end zone rushes at the end of the three games aren't on him, but on that weak sauce group of linemen we have. No push, just pushovers. Heck, GVR was the best of the bunch and we didn't have much respect for him. 

Our O-line just got their butts handed to them by a team that frikkin fired their coach mid-season and kept on losing. 

Honestly, the only D-line that our O-line is apparently good against is our OWN d-line -- that they look good in practice against those powder puffs is the only way you could explain how bad they looked against even bad pro linemen.

Sheesh.

Kyle was getting killed out there and he still marched us down the field twice with less than 4 minutes on the clock. The kid has moxie and the make up of a starter, he just doesn't have the protection to develop. And he won't unless we greatly improve our scouting and talent evaluation.

They started to get pressure on him. Williams and Turner were already wounded and sweating off the Thanksgiving  turkey. Paradis was apparently having some kind of crisis.

      Goodbye JJMAN Returns   We hardly knew ye, and thank goodness for that.   Remember kids, there is no bigger loser than someone that is banned from an Internet message board yet makes an alt to come back where they are not wanted.

      Panthers reach deal with Muhsin 'Moose' Muhammad III

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      We need a solid returner, which he can do. And that is going to help. But you watch his tape, against good SEC competition and the guy just has it. Just wasn't always on a good team. And then, that bloodline... Loved watching his Dad play the game. If some of that skill and all of that football knowledge came down to him, then there will be a seat for him in the WR room this season. I'll be pulling for him during training camp to make the final roster.

      Draft Grades

      By Peon Awesome · Posted

      To add to the experts' analysis, Jordan Reid of ESPN was a big fan of the Panthers draft. Here's highlights of the article: Which team produced your favorite class? Reid: Carolina Panthers. Receiver, edge rusher and safety were their top needs entering the draft, and they addressed all of them in the first four rounds. Tetairoa McMillan was my highest-ranked receiver -- he gives Bryce Young a true WR1. Princely Umanmielen and Nic Scourton provide Carolina with two young edge rushers. Lathan Ransom is a hard-hitting safety who can produce on the back end and special teams. Jimmy Horn Jr. was one of my favorite late-round receivers and could stick on the roster as a return specialist. Make your early call for Offensive Rookie of the Yea Reid: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Carolina Panthers. I'm a big believer in McMillan's fit with Bryce Young. McMillan's catch radius will instantly make him the go-to receiver for the Panthers. He also has the formational versatility to play multiple spots and can fill the role Mike Evans had in Dave Canales' offense in 2023, when Canales was the Buccaneers' offensive coordinator.
