Tbf he only had 1 more and 1 of em was a reception... Meanwhile this year Teddy has thrown TDs on just under 5% of his passes, has only 1 fewer passing TD than all of last year so far, a 70% completion percentage and is likely gonna hit 30 total TDs on the year. Actually looking like a decent (altho not exceptional) starter...

Yeah I dunno... Darnold didn't seem to take any rough hits (altho he got knocked around a lil)vs NE... But if it was an "aggravation" it makes more sense...

Let's get a broken QB with injury history, put him behind an OL with significant injury history, not bring in any competent backup QBs to either help the broken QB in the QB room or step in if he gets hurt, ignore the obvious brewing problems in these units thru preseason and our first few games, and then totally fail to address either by the trade deadline. Brilliant! Remember the whole treating Darnold like a rookie? I'd that's true... any rookie we draft is fuged too.

Although I think a different QB may have yielded a 9 win season, I just don't see that happening over our remaining schedule... With the options available I don't see us getting 5 more wins this year personally.

Daley...

I used to think it was just being un vaccinated and that he'd really take a role as a backup as to why he didn't have a job earlier ... But if that's true... Why doesn't NE bring him back? l think it's because even though he says he'd be a backup *he* thinks he'd still be a distraction whether he would be or not... Because unfortunately maybe he would be. I mean we are talking about the guy that made a video interview with his dad after he was released... I dunno... I think that kinda thing is a turnoff to FOs and coaches, whether it should be or not. I think next year he'll get a shot to compete in camp though.

Tbh, I'm not sure when those banners first went up etc... So I'm hesitant to say this is a deliberate slight. I agree it's strange to exclude him though. I do think that if you want to focus on BoA as the site of this victory it's probably the best of those pictures from the link I posted... There's better pictures by other outlets floating around they could have paid to use I suspect but I don't know how that works out.

Just a note on this. The organization likely selected from their set of internal photos that wanted to show this happened at BoA.

I actually think you are right, fwiw, having looked at some others. I don't think there was animosity in the choice but it is weird not to use a picture that includes the biggest reason we made it that far. Then again, at some point the Panthers started to see cams brand as competition I think.

Well, you can argue why that picture was chosen (shirts, a number of players, celebrating etc)... I would have included a picture with Cam but that is fundamentally different from saying they are cropping him out of pictures.

Cam is being blocked by a podium and a speaker. You can see that in the banner too, it's just cropped a bit. Take a look above - that's the original photo and you can see it at https://www.panthers.com/news/panthers-receive-nfc-championship-rings-17235426 .... He's not in the original.

This is from the Panthers site posted after the team got it's rings.

He's doing a pretty damn good job of haunting us as it is... At least all of us fans, haha. More like a curse on team management... Maybe that'll be the next excuse when the next retread fails.

The thing is, players are always going to push themselves to play thru pain and do whatever they can to be on the field. Responsible coaches need to be able to sit players for their own good. Rivera's failure to do so fuged Cam... I wouldn't say this is why Darnold was bad (heh, he was bad plenty before this), but it sure didn't help a young QB struggling to prove he belongs

This irritates the poo out of me. This staff comes off as so fuging incompetent. As if Darnold looks good when healthy...

Good news everyone, these coaches are also more than willing to throw players out onto the field while injured.

I don't begrudge fans wanting him back but he's not coming back and expecting us to turn the QB position around mid season with ANY pickup is... Well it just isn't gonna happen

Barkley played in limited time for the Bills last year. Cam was never coming back to us, tho. I'm not sure why fans thought that'd happen.

Cam wouldn't be anywhere near the best player on our roster as he is now. But he would be the best QB... Still, I don't think he'd want to be here anyway, and he surely doesn't want to come back for a half season rental, as that is all it'd be...

I'm not sure. It isn't a great look (even if it's understandable) for Cam to refuse any team right now, so he wouldnt leak it...

2018. Honestly Cam wasn't going to come back and frankly I wouldn't want to put him thru this... Given that, I'm not surprised by this move because any QB we signed at this time of year was going to be awful.

Abdullah made him expendable. He and Chuba are fine backups to CMC. It isn't hard to find a JAG RB if CMC goes down again.

I would hope that this staff has enough integrity that if he wasn't interested they wouldn't go talking about it publicly. We'd never know.

Yup, although at least one has been a bad call (RB in the area on what I think was a screen). Crazy how little awareness he has sometimes tho.

He does have talent, but simply not enough or doesn't show it consistently enough ... And maybe that'll change but he's not gonna show it on this roster... Maybe, if he can sit behind an established starter as a backup some day we could see him resurrect his career...
