Why don't you make the sacrifice of using Google, or you know pay attention to the sport you supposedly follow.

You can get nerve damage from reinjury and strains. Hell, he could have damage now depending on how bad he was hurt.

Yeah, just sacrifice a franchise players career for a losing season. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

What? Did you want me to google it for you? Why didn't you give me the statistic if there was some point to be made? At the end of the day the production is the same, and that's still based off four games. This isn't accounting for the inevitable. This is just sad.

Oh yeah. I remember back in the day when coach risked potential nerve damage of a child for football.

I mean, again, we're talking about a singular statistic that at the end of the day has no real bearing on performance overall. Though if you're so fascinated by this, again singular, statistic I can say that in Darnold's career, year by year, his YPA is much lower than Teddy's, if that even matters to you. You do realize that one poor performance and that average could return to the mean, right?

That's so unbelievably short sighted and selfish.

Wait. Do you think the Panthers offensive line from this year is in anyway comparable to the offensive line he played with from 2020? Remember the meme here has been "can he play left tackle" for the last decade. Make no mistake, this year's offensive line is special. It's one of the best since 2009. Regardless, who really cares about YPA when the results are similar. This again is extrapolating Sam's best 4 games in recent memory. When I'm talking about Teddy, I'm referring to actual data.

I mean. You can't normally have 300+ rushing yards period, end of story. The mediocre Steelers from last week kind of prove that point.

Probably much higher than Bridgewater's, but why wouldn't it be when he has an entire week to throw?

I'm kind of surprised so many here are advocating rushing him back this season. Why in the world would the Panthers bring him back this year when the team isn't competitive? I don't understand why they should risk a franchise player for a year where the team at best finishes under .500. That's with what might end up being the easiest schedule in the league, dependent on what happens in the next two weeks.

Extrapolating to an entire season where he doesn't have a single bad game. 3600 passing yards, 17 touchdowns, 8 rushing touchdowns, 4 fumbles. So, basically Teddy Bridgewater at his peak.

Touchdowns are the most important quarterback statistic. Throwing and running. Completion percentage has to be the most misleading statistic by far.

Only Panthers fans could look at the post-Cam years, the last half decade at this point, and be completely blind to the reality of the modern NFL. Which is that you need a quarterback to consistently compete, or possibly even compete at all when looking at just our team. We've been a losing team since the day that Cam didn't have 'it' anymore. The same could be said after Jake Delhomme's years. Oh, we're going to build a real contender by running the ball and having elite lines on both sides of the ball? Really, do you guys think it's actually feasible to find that many players to carry an inept quarterback? Oh, we need coaching right? Just need that unicorn coach to come along and we can plug and play anyone. Well, some of the best coaches, arguably ever, are having a tough go without a quarterback this year. Sometimes I feel as if much of our fans don't actually want to be competitive or want to win the big game. They just want recognition through pro-bowl voting or fan favorites that 'break records' or some such nonsense. Personally, I don't care about player accolades, especially when it's usually some cherry-picked statistical anomaly. I don't get it.

That settles it. What we need to do is trade for cast-offs and take shots mid to late draft. I don't know what it is about football comparative to other sports, but the amount of cherry picking of statistics and anecdotes is absurd. How is this difficult to understand. NFL players are usually drafted, right? So, the higher you draft a player, the more likely that player has to be special. If 5 teams take a player at your position that you need, guess what? That's 5 players missing from your selection pool to find a great player.

Sam has sucked for 5 years in the NFL, is on his second team, and somehow still gets the rookie pass. Meanwhile fans here are criticizing Fields? What?

Time to start talking to Chicago.

You mean the 'true fans' that have been talking mad poo again?

Next draft, next draft, next draft.

That guy endorses Sam Darnold.

If Chicago can move up to 2nd overall, then we'll have a good trade partner.

Imagine if this team was in an average division and had an average schedule. There's no way they would be at 5 wins.

Protect the bank is corporate propaganda.

Tepper might shut things down after this game. One or two random players to IR, with more rookies starting to see what we have.

All 5 wins of the culture.
