That has almost always been true when the defense was out there, but now it's true for the offense.
You could make an argument that at one time, Cam was more effective than the Kyle Allen offense currently is, but that was when Newton could extend plays with his feet and pick up first downs running. We haven't really seen that threat for a few years now and I don't thinks it's coming back. Norv Turner is going to ride the Christian McCaffrey horse until it's dead, but when that's not working, it appears to me that Allen is going to lose far fewer games for Carolina than the Newton will.
To me, the Panthers look like playoff contenders with Allen. Wannabes with Newton.
