I didn't think we could look much worse than we did in the first quarter against the Browns to start the season. I missed that assumption by a mile. On an unrelated note, I am not sure how this notion started that the Panthers have a solid defense, but it simply isn't true and has not been true for most of the season. The national media folks like to throw that statement around, perhaps as a result of group think, but they clearly have not dug into the numbers. After Sunday there should be little question that this defense needs a lot of work...a lot.

The front office could not have botched the QB any worse had they tried. They traded Bridgwater, paid seven million of his salary, and got a sixth round pick in return. Then they trade a second, fourth, and a sixth round pick for a guy who had struggled with the Jets and is proving to be worse than Bridgewater who he replaced. Now just seven games into a three year deal with Darnold, the Panthers may be willing to once again throw assets to another team for a QB to replace Darnold. It's like the Panthers front office cannot differentiate between fantasy football and the real thing.
