Via NFL.com:  

The second-year pro is a pocket passer with good decision-making skills — and, to be honest, he’s a better fit for offensive coordinator Norv Turner’s system than Cam Newton, who sat out Week 3 with a foot injury. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported Tuesday that the ailment is believed to be a Lisfranc injury which will keep Newton sidelined for a while. Since Turner’s arrival in Carolina in 2018, Allen is 2-0 as a starter, while Newton is 6-10 (losing his last eight starts). Knowing this and watching these two quarterbacks in Turner’s offense, I found myself wondering: If the Panthers continue to play well with Allen, should they automatically switch back to Newton when he’s ready to return?

My answer: No.

Right now, I feel like I’m watching Superman in “Superman II,” when he’s just a regular guy after having his powers taken away. Right now, Cam is just a guy getting beaten up in a diner. I wouldn’t be surprised if Carolina shuts Cam down again for the season, sending its star back to the ice palace to recharge and get his powers back.

Kyle Allen is the team’s best option right now, and it might take Cam another offseason to get right. I wouldn’t jeopardize the franchise quarterback’s future by trying to get him back this season. Continue to roll with the rookie who plays well in Turner’s system, and let Newton heal.

This really is a “What have you done for me Lately” League.  

But Cam deserves to start when he feels healthy. He’s earned it. 

Don’t count on Cam just yet. . .
