To borrow in part an analogy used about Mariota and Winston, Allen is good at making the layups that Cam has for too long missed, but doesn’t have the big play ability that a healthy Cam has. Healthy Cam is better than Allen, but with CMC and receivers so good after the catch, I want layups. I want the ball in their hands. Cam missing open guys was killing us.
Pretty accurate analogy. Cam at his best did some amazing things and was fun to watch but he had some really bad seasons or parts of seasons when he was not at his best.
It was disappointing that he did not improve enough over time at the things a veteran QB should have.
Hope the Panthers stay with Allen as long as the team is playing well and winning.
To make another analogy, sometimes the point guard that makes the correct easy pass is helping the team more than the flashy point guard making the spectacular play.
