Rivera has already started distancing himself from Cam in q&a's.
And while I agree they're flat out better right now with Allen, still remains to be seen how good he is at piloting the ship once the league gets film on him and late season/playoff type pressure football starts to rear it's head in Charlotte.
Basically, I like the Panthers with Allen more than I do with Cam, but I also think Cam is sh*t.
But I don't think they're anything resembling a conference championship contender right now. They've got SF, GB, and NO, over the next 5 weeks.
Win a couple of those and I'll consider them a top 5 team.
