Let’s just come right out and say it: the Panthers’ offense on Sunday against the Cardinals looked better under Kyle Allen than it has in the past 10 months under Cam Newton.
That doesn’t mean we should start measuring Allen’s facial features for a Canton bust, and it doesn’t mean Newton should quit football and go work in fashion. It does, however, mean Carolina should sit up and watch intently.
Newton has a stronger arm and more dynamic mobility than Allen. But we forget that none of that matters if the quarterback can’t ultimately put the ball where he wants.
