What Happened Over the Weekend?

First, if not foremost, and most definitely of the least importance, my Carolina Panthers finally figured out how to win a football game.     It was a simple solution.  It's a solution that I, and many others in Panther Nation have been advocating for some time. It is time to recognize and realize that it is time to admit and advocate that it is past time to replace a past his prime, injury prone quarterback. 
  Cam Newton has moved beyond being a League MVP and Super Bowl quarterback, to assume the persona of egomaniacal fashion maven and pimp. 
 In watching backup quarterback Kyle Allen lead the Panthers to their resounding 38-20 victory, I couldn't help but realize some parallels.  Could this young man be another Kurt Warner?  Waived and released, Allen seemed to be looking at the end of his NFL career before it got started.  But he was brought back due to Newton's ongoing injury status.  In each of his limited appearances, he performed well, with a quarterback rating of 113.1.  If given the chance, could this outstanding athlete be a Kurt-like comeback kid, taking his team to their first Super Bowl victory, as Warner did with the Rams?   
 Another parallel I envision is the possible similarity to Tom Brady.  Brady came onto the scene replacing injured overall first draft pick, Pro Bowl/Super Bowl quarterback Drew Bledsoe
  Since that time, Brady has become, arguably, the best, most successful quarterback in NFL history.  If given the ongoing opportunity, could Kyle Allen become this generation's Tom Brady?   That depends on a couple of things, most notably that aforementioned opportunity.
It has been announced that Nwton will not be available for the Panthers' upcoming week 4 game against Houston and may miss more games after that.  Coach Ron Rivera has stated that Allen will be the team's starting QB for that time.  I hope, wish and pray to God, Jesus and Mother Mary that Riverboat Ron will not make the same mistake relative to Newton that former Panthers coach, John Fox committed in regards to then QB Jake Delhomme.  Jake led the 2003 Panthers to an 11-5 record and the Super Bowl.  Following their narrow, waning moments loss to the Patriots, Delhomme never again exhibited the championship calibre consistency that took the team to Super Bowl XXXVIII. 
In spite of that, Coach Fox demonstrated a professional sports practice that I've never understood.  If a basketball team's leading scorer suddenly can't hit the hoop, he's benched.  If a baseball team's ace pitcher can't find the strike zone, except to give up hit after hit and run after run, you bring in the bullpen.  If a football lineman can't make tackles or misses blocks, a receiver drops catchable passes,  or a running back fumbles and/or can't hit the holes, substitutes come into the game.  Why is that not the case with a poorly performing quarterback?  In fairness, Coach Fox id go against that practice when he replaced starting QB Rodney Peete with Delhomme in the first game of that 2003 season.  But after their Super Bowl loss, and the ensuing inconsistent seasons, Delhomme remained under center, despite the obviousness of his decline.
I fear that Coach Rivera may make the same mistake this year.  In their ridiculous Week 2 at home loss to Tampa Bay, Newton could hardly find his butt cheeks using both hands, throwing four  interceptions and numerous inaccuracies.   In two games, he has a 71.0 rating and minus two yards rushing.  Comparatively, in his two appearances last season, Allen had that aforementioned 113.1 rating and yesterday posted a rating of 144.4, including four TD throws.
If he can continue that level of excellence against the Texans, and possibly in subsequent weeks, as Newton continues to heal, Kyle Allen should be allowed to quarterback the Panthers, even after if and when Cam Newton is deemed and declared 100% healthy.

Of course, the big story of the weekend was (and hopefully is) senile Uncle Joe Biden and his equally villainous, fellow lawyer son, Hunter.   From the whistleblower claptrap with which the lunatic, leftist liberal lame street press was trying to again entrap President Trump, a real truth relative to US dealings with Ukraine has been exposed.
During his tenure as Vice-President, Biden openly extorted the President of Ukraine.  This was an act about which Biden publicly bragged.  The one point in that braggadocious talk that really makes me wonder is the part in which Biden tells the Ukrainian president to call President Obama for verification that he (Biden) had the authority to blackmail the Ukraine.  Therefore, what I wonder about is, how complicit in this extortion was Baracka Hussein O.?
Just as he shamed himself out of his first presidential bid in 1988, ole Joe may very well have ended this race before it even really got started.  I would opine that international extortion is far more serious than plagiarism in campaign speeches and law school papers.
If the Demoncat front runner is indeed out of the running, that only strengthens my opinion of whom the eventual party poster child shall be.  I have maintained in vocalizations for awhile that none of the current candidates have the overall appeal to garner enough delegates to win the nomination on the first ballot.   After that, it becomes a brokered convention, in which pretty much anybody can be nominated to lose in a landslide to President Trump. 
Unless the real hidden truths about her sort of same sex bisexual husband's presidential corruption and criminality, including high treason (and not to mention his birthplace nationality) are exposed, I predict that the 2020 Demoncat nominee for president shall be Shemelle Obama.
