Allen. He is going to break all of Cam's records. And by "Cam's records", I mean the ones people use to say Cam was so great/different. But Allen has more tools than that. You won't hurt your Panther fandom to admit Allen is a better QB.

It's true but Cam had a much bigger and likeable persona.

This is like somebody arguing over who is the hottest Playboy centerfold acting like some are beneath their standards while they're out there striking out on threes at the local dive bars.

For the love of god we'd give the entire organization to include Bank of America stadium for either.

At least it's something to discuss other than another embarrassing season.

the better question:  Who will have the longest career--Cam was about a decade--All it takes is one freak injury or the wear and tear starts setting in, causing you to do things differently (mechanics).  then other injuries set it.  Josh has been in it for 7 years--we shall see.

It has undeniably become Josh Allen at this point, it's ok to admit that. I could still argue that Cam is a better short yardage running QB but Josh is better than at him at pretty much everything else.

I just wish we'd built an offense around Cam like Buffalo has for Allen. We never had the weapons they have. Not that we didn't try, we just chose poorly with guys like KB and Funchess and lesser Kalil.

Dave was determined to get him receivers with long arms because Cam tended to throw high. Disregard the fact his line couldn't block the hallway at a nursing home and give him time to pass without having to jail break out of the pocket. Such a sad waste of talent.

I never understood the "catch radius" argument. A receiver that can get open and create separation has a much larger "catch radius" than a blanketed big receiver who can't separate. We constantly asked Cam to make the hardest throws a QB has to make while also usually carrying the running game and then people wanted to bitch when he missed a throw. Like y'all, take this guy away and we have no offense. Then it happened and those same people still want to look in the rearview and bitch about Cam not being perfect. We broke Cam and we still haven't recovered from it and a lot of us were telling the naysayers this the whole time. Bitch and moan but you'll miss him when he's gone. Well, we were wrong. They don't miss him. But they sure do miss being relevant. They just don't want to admit that Cam was the key to the relevancy.

Basically agree 100%. Cam didn't need to be the most accurate passer to be an incredible player and quarterback, but the way he approached and played the game was ahead of his time to the point where a lot of idiot fanbase didn't really understand exactly what we had. But... Only thing I'll say is Cam also broke himself, in part, as any NFL player with his mindset would when giving it all.  We did try to provide him some support by Gettleman and Hurney were fuging idiots with how they approached that - personally I think as much or more with what coaches they brought in, rather than necessarily / only with the talent they tried to put around him. Chud was our only innovative OC in Cam's entire time as a Panther...

      What is the identity of this team?

      By pantherj · Posted

      Poverty franchise. Non-existent defense, offense that plays well against terrible defense, and collapses against decent to good defense in most cases. Inconsistent QB who is way undersized. Good o-line. Overall roster talent level - low. Results: 3 - 12. There is no quick way out of this mess. We need a #1 WR, and many positions on defense. The scheme is just not working and we need to get out of the 3-4 forever. Outside of Horn the entire secondary should be upgraded over time. Our safeties are not good at passing off coverage because they're just not that bright, so the deep pass is a real problem. We need a #2CB so we don't get eaten alive by the star WRs of the NFL who move to the opposite side of Horn. We can't let them go off on our trash DBs. Up front on defense we're in nightmare territory. Outside of Clowney we don't have linemen who can catch any QB in the NFL even if the QB is running at half speed. Even the slowest QB in the NFL running at half speed would have no trouble avoiding our d-line. And what we lack in speed what don't make up for in strength, and to complicate the problem we're playing 3-4. And when we rush 4 nothing happens. Nothing. Get out of the 3-4. No more. 3-4 only works if you have a monster ogre NT and two werewolves on either side, and athletic OLBs who can fly to the QB. We don't have that and we can't acquire all of that. Go to 4-3. We have Brown at DT, draft another pass rushing DT, and draft a DE to pair with Clowney. Now you have a decent front 4 that can pressure the QB and hold up against the run. What we have now is slow fat blobs and Clowney. Also Brown would be better served playing a DT in a 4-3 than NT or DE in a 3-4 imo. Brown and Clowney are best suited for DT and DE in a 4-3 imo.

      "Good" Bryce 191 - 1 298 - 1 263 - 1 126 - 1 171 - 1   Yeah he made some nfl level throws but he is not doing it enough.  He has next year albeit with hopefully some legit competition but its imperative he has to up his game.  a couple of throws a game simply isnt enough
