maybe watch less Sam Darnold and more great QBs. The good QBs have no problem living to play for another series. Especially early in a game. The whole, el lost DJ to a concussion on a horrble throw by Sam....but at least we tried something not smart instead of punting. This isn't a new concept. QBs have to protect their WRs. And when you don't....they start playing the game KNOWING they don't have a QB that is looking out for their health. Well, that impacts things as well. Sam Darnold is not good at playing QB. Time for Panther nation to accept what the league already accepted.

It's Teddy redux. He had an entire football lifetime that showed he was a checkdown QB. Yet people kept up this mantra that we didn't really know what he was. I mean, Sam is literally the same dude he has always been since he started playing QB. In NY and before. Poor ball security, bone head decisions, poor ball placement, hesitantion and jitters that routinely pop out. That's just what he is. and yes, plays you like? The big run in the 4th q? A big throw here? Sam always did that too. That all existed in NY and USC too. We aren't getting a glimmer of something new.

so you are saying NFL defenses don't gameplan specifically for the best overall RB in all the NFL, who the entire O is build off of....any different than a mid round rookie RB?

how many passing yards did the Panther offense have with 9 minutes left in the game on Sunday? the D literally put the game on a silver platter vs the Eagles and the O said no thank you. If you have horrible offense....the defense will always end up looking poor.

Depends how bad it gets. If we end up winning only 5-6 games and he has a worse season than he did in 2019 with the Jets? Well, good luck to Tepper selling that. It will mark the first time in franchise history with 4 consecutive losing season. With a promise of NY Sam coming back? think for Sam to return, things will have to turn around from the current outlook. If we continue poorly….the football gods will require sacrifices. That’s the NFL. And Joe Brady won’t be enough.

Nah, most fan bases think their OL is weak. Most QBs routinely have to deal with bad OL play too. need a QB like a punt returner. That is calm with heat coming at him.

hmmm… need to add this guy I guess and follow him

I would wager that has decent odds of happening

There is one of two ladies in the stands arguing from this week too. Not a physical fight. Panther lady too calm and cool for that nonsense. So she pretends to have male genitalia and….***** *****. Edit - dang you censor!!

The O did nothing for 3 quarters Sunday except be a liability. and the D gift wrapped the Philly for the team pretty early. The D isn’t the issue. But if you have bad offense for most of the game….you can’t realistic count on your D to shutdown your opponent (if they have good O). It’s asking too much. O and D impact each other. Our D isn’t hanging our O out to dry.

We had no offense for the first 3 quarters. Bad offense leads to bad defense. Through 3 quarters we probably averaged 50 yards a quarter….with more turnovers than TDs by the offense as we entered the 4th.

Well, I would argue Hubbard and CMC don’t play in similar circumstances. Because the opposing defenses are playing them different. Hubbard isn’t getting a CMC defensive game plan and attention. Why would he?

I don’t think Sam Darnold is a gunslinger. I think he is merely a good overall athlete that isn’t a good QB. Some have called him a gunslinger…and used that interchangeably with the fact he makes bonehead decisions. Tyrod is better than Sam. It’s not Tyrod being overrated or anyone else. It’s Sam being overrated. And he looks exactly like the dude who played in NY to date. He isn’t even on pace for his best season….that’s how you know he is the same dude. And all his primary issues existed before NY touched him.

Daniel Jones played Sunday. They are missing Barkley and WRs. Now a LT. Not sure the timetable on their skill position guys. Guess we will have to wait and see.

but with the Falcons being divisional you can almost disregard their struggles. Those likely be standard divisional games. Same with Saints (they won't be the team we saw in Carolina). We basically have the Giants and Phins. Everything else is divisional or a tough matchup.

Sam has turned the ball over in literally every game he has played in Carolina but 1. And in the one game he didn't turn it over...he put the ball on the ground multiple times (in Carolina territory). Currently, running a nice 3 game streak of at least 2 turnovers per game. I mean, you don't stay a .500 team with Sam Darnold either. Darnold is a Kyle Allen, Henicke, PJ, etc. Same tier QB.

I just don't like the language. I think it overstates what he did. He took bad teams and got them out of the gutter. Which is certainly noteworthy. But overall, we don't collectively refer to that program building. Building programs implies more IMO than what Rhule did. It is building an org up for sustained success. There aren't a lot of legit program builders. There are a lot of coaches who achieve temporary success. and it's why I always equate Rhule to Fox and Rivera. They all play a brand of football that is good to bring to a horrible team.

I think Sam is on pace for his second best season of his career. His best season still being the last time NY actually tried to win with him.

could be per snap. But earnings over a career, what Sam Bradford did is insane. He was the last of those mega rookie deals that no longer exist.

Brock is an amateur pickpocket vs Sam Bradford. Sam pocketed 130 million. Brock didn't even reach half of that.

No man stole more money in NFL history than Sam Bradford.

Rhule's college resume is one conference title. One. What exactly did he build his programs into? that tagline continues to be overstated and overrated IMO. Rhule took teams that really sucked....and got them to where they didn't really suck by playing John Fox/Rivera football. He wasn't a Dabo Sweeney, Saban, Chip Kelly, Spurrier, etc. He didn't build any program into a powerhouse that withstood the test of any period of any time.

I don't dislike Darnold. I disliked making him our starting QB and the only plan. And all this was obvious. You think you can fix him? Have it. I endorsed that early on. But you don't do what we did. You throw him on your roster and make him depth. Maybe let him compete in an actual competition....and see what you can do with him. You don't make him the one and only plan. if at the end of the year Sam is clearly the same Sam we have always seen. What is the point of rolling with him past this year? That seems unnecessary. And just wasted time.
