Hoyer the Destroyer!

They're just outmatched. Nobody's playing for us tonight.

He seemed to fit a little better after nobody else was left to take the OC job.

I was in highschool watching the game with my family at home. Best moment in Panthers history to me.

Sam will get 2-3 series, PJ will play 3 and a half quarters, and Matt Corral will get the rest.

Yea if they both sit, that will be a lot of PJ.

Any position Pat Elflein is playing is an area of concern.

Not sure about a plan but I would expect more of PJ and Corral this week. I think Rhule said the starters would play less this week because of the joint practices.

These guys all somehow graded worse than CB Chris Westry.

imagine the rust after another year

This is why I thought Sam would just get flat out cut. Baker is the obvious #1, PJ is Matt's boy, and we drafted Corral. Sam Darnold's salary is already a sunk cost, but his practice reps and roster spot are not. If we needed a warm body at QB to fill out the roster, it makes sense to keep Sam. We owe him the money either way. But if he's taking up someone else's reps, the cost of keeping him extends beyond his salary.

It's good that we're compounding the effects of mistakes instead of moving forward with the right plan.

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

On a positive note, I'd like to see more of Ricci at TE. On a more constructive one, I'd like to see Corral come in before PJ this time. It might be terrible but we need to see it.

Rhule definitely screwed the pooch with how he's prioritized things at QB, but how Corral looked is concerning beyond that. Typically when you see these guys play, you can tell whether or not they have something. They might make a lot of mistakes or whatnot, but they show certain things you can cling to. Matt Corral didn't give us anything. Hopefully he looks better next week.

Yea it makes no sense. I think it points to a disconnect between the front office and the coach. We should have just drafted some D Line depth or a linebacker or something instead.

Saying he looked like a 3rd round pick would be generous. The Dolphins had a 7th rounder that looked way better than him last night. Sam Howell looked way better. Just about everyone I watched yesterday did.

Yea I was thinking the exact same thing. Not a great look.

Kenny Pickett just threw a TD to win the game

He looks way better than Corral already, but I don't know about taking him as high as our pick was.

Yea Pickett looking smooth on his first drive

its Kenny time!

He'll retire

At least we didn't burn a first round pick on Kenny Pickett. He's behind Trubisky and Rudolph on the Steelers depth chart.

All things considered, he looked pretty good. He gives us a much better chance to win than any other QB on the roster.
