I think "don't want another setback" is in reference to not rushing him back to practice or game action. I don't think it is terribly uncommon for rehabbing players not to travel, but I could be mistaken and it probably varies.Quote:

Given what I have seen Allen do in limited minutes, its hard to believe anything other than Cam is done.
To be clear, all things being equal, you’d expect a healthy Cam to put together a better performance than Allen.
Allen looks fantastic so far. Unfortunately so does Murray.
Our defense needs to step it up.
It's a small sample size but Allen looks like he's been doing this for years. Seems very comfortable and relaxed out there.
Cam who?
Giants made the change, Panthers can follow.
Today was the first time I've had fun watching the Cats play in a long while.
feels good to be on the winning side for the first time in 9 games....Allen was a focused stud today...
who knows what will happen with cam...I'm tired of apologizing for him...
I'm guessing, hoping, that the same feeling is palpable with Tepper. Hopefully it is with the coaching staff, too. The NFL is not high on sentiment when it comes to winning and losing.Quote:

I’m guessing some of that hunger has dulled over time.
Perhaps Allen has some of that same fire in his belly.
If Allen can play like he did today every week, Cam is done.
A misstep or two, and I expect Cam may get another shot.
Not knowing Cam’s health, I’d like to see the Panthers keep Allen at QB and ride the hot hand.
Allen was a beast. But mark my words, they are paying Newton too much for him to sit if he's healthy. I won't like it, but...
THIS^^^.Quote:

Same for goal tenders in hockey. Ride the subs as long as they're hot, and when they're not, you have a starter to go back to.
It wasn't Wally Pipp.Quote:

They might put Cam back in at some point in the next several weeks, but if he looks anything like he did in the first two games I don't see any way he finishes the game.Quote:

As for when Cam is healthy?
Quote:
Rivera said when Newton is healthy he'll return to the starting lineup.
"He's our quarterback and he's who we rely on," Rivera said. "But for now we're going to stick with Kyle and we'll keep rolling and see how things unfold as we go forward."
So let's say Allen comes out Sunday against the Texans with a repeat performance and let's say Cam practices all the following week and is ready to go the following Sunday, who starts?Quote:

I just remembered that comment I posted a few days ago.Quote:

I don't know who Liz Franc is, or how she messed up Cam's foot so badly, but starting QBs are on the Endangered Species list ...
