WFT has narrowed down their list of potential new names
mav1234 replied to CanePantherHornet's topic in Carolina Panthers
I actually kinda like WFT. Not a fan of most of the others tbh. Not that it makes a difference for me haha -
I think PJs stats are deceptive and he could still be a good backup IF he can learn to protect the ball a bit better. I like his energy and willingness to push the ball down the field... It was a stark contrast to Teddy. Not sold on Darnold as long term solution at QB1, but I'm hopeful. He has the physical tools. Only question if he has it between his ears to play smart. No qb controversy in Carolina anyway. Just a couple of Huddle threads. When there's real controversy... It's much worse hahaah.

Carolina Panthers - Baltimore Ravens Joint Practice 2
mav1234 replied to Zod's topic in Carolina Panthers
Any news on why Burns is in that wrap??? Darnold sounds like another mixed day, but not surprising if his top 2 were out for some / all of it. Good news he might get some game time reps. -
I get management's talk has been about treating him like a rookie but you are right. He's got one to two years to prove he's a franchise QB. Probably one to show consistent improvement and a second to take a big step up to being a quality starter.
-
He took them in New York, so it seems likely he will here.
-
My problem with Teddy wasn't the scheme, nor that he took what the defense gave him... it was he actively avoided the shots that were there down field or was physically unable to make others... If Darnold can make a couple more of those deep throws per game it'll open up so much more of the short and intermediate stuff too.

Carolina Panthers - Baltimore Ravens Joint Practice 1
mav1234 replied to Zod's topic in Carolina Panthers
He did, but they kept him in way way way too long. I can't help but wonder how things could have been different if Rivera and co were better at reading and managing Cam's real physical condition. Cam was such a competitor he would go no matter what... -
Carolina Panthers - Baltimore Ravens Joint Practice 1
mav1234 replied to Zod's topic in Carolina Panthers
Lol he did, but I don't consider that an *injury* if you're talking about concerns of someone playing a preseason game and risking his health. -
Carolina Panthers - Baltimore Ravens Joint Practice 1
mav1234 replied to Zod's topic in Carolina Panthers
We all knew Cam was injured in 2018, and had been banged up before that. Frankly Cam should have missed more games than he did, and how many of us blame the coaches for letting him play injured? Cam didn't need preseason reps and it seemed a risk not worth the benefit, was my point As to Darnold, he's had an ankle and seemingly a minor shoulder issue. The relative risk in preseason is minor compared to getting him reps. There's a difference between a season ending injury and a couple missed games imo. -
Right. Different league, no? Mother Grabber mentioned the XFL specifically. Warner is a great story. PJ could become an amazing backup. We don't have a QB controversy, just a big unknown at long term solutions to QB.

RE the backup QB battle that was actually my point... I don't even think there is a battle anymore and we are just keeping Grier around since we need a QB for practices, heh. I also don't think PJ actually sucks, he's just not shown me enough to have confidence he's a great backup. He's exciting to watch at least. -
Warner played in the XFL?

By 2019 Cam had an injury history, remember ... Darnold is like 23 without one. Put him in some game situations to get him reps... The offense needs it. Our backup QB battle isn't so intense that they can't spare a quarter and a half or two... -
After reading thru the morning tweets the receiver comments weren't just Rhule protecting Darnold. Lots of drops. It's okay... They are a great group and allowed to have off days.

Carolina Panthers - Baltimore Ravens Joint Practice 1
mav1234 replied to Zod's topic in Carolina Panthers
The reason I'd like to see Darnold get some snaps in a preseason game is that it is just more reps, and it's even more of a 'real' environment than the joint practices... I'm not concerned with how well or poorly he plays... I'd like to see him get as much exposure to our offense as possible... Plays and players he'll be playing with. I'm not going to scream and curse Rhule if he doesn't, just seems like Darnold could benefit from it. -
Not crap if true. Everyone has bad days and our receivers could have too. Few others talking about drops on social media too.
-
I think the gap is significantly more than that... Guess we will see, though.
-
I didn't say that PJ isn't going to or can't improve... I hope he does. I just think it's ... A little crazy there are multiple threads talking about how we have QB controversy or maybe PJ will be better than Darnold etc.
-
I agree he could, and is Already far ahead of Grier... but this isn't a thread about that. I don't think it's really possible he's better than Darnold.
-
Yeesh guys. Even in Darnold's worst year he looked better than PJ did in his game time last year. PJ had fewer on target passes and more bad throws than Darnold last year and that is unfortunately saying something since it was also Darnold's worst year to date I would love PJ to be a good backup but some of the posts here lately are making me desperate for the season to start lol
-
I'd love for PJ to turn a corner and look like he could be a good backup ... But we are in serious trouble if he's starting because of how bad Darnold has played lol.
-
Depends if we get Darnold from the last few games of his rookie year or Darnold from last year, I suppose. I don't think Darnold can be particularly mediocre... He seems too prone to trying to make things happen. Either those risks are the right ones and it pays off or he's going to ruin some games for us.
