Incredible pass and then the missed layup

Yes surely the statistical worst starting quarterback in years couldn't be the problem.

This is what happens to a franchise who starts Sam Darnold the worst starting QB in the NFL for an extended period of time. Any other quarterback by comparison looks better than they appear. Thank your Panthers mgmt team.

If we are reminiscing about football in the 1970's that tends to say it all about the current predicament the Panthers find themselves in. This is a passing league and there was never a rational justification to make a running back the highest paid in the league before we had identified our next QB. Even last season there were discussions about CMC's rate of touches. If he had played a full season he would have surpassed the most touches in a single season which was a record dating back to the mid 1980's. The Panthers have to join the rest of the modern NFL in 2022.

There are football discussions and then there is this verbal diarrhea. People like you are why many others do not open up about depression. What a dick.

Yeah this is a valid point. Compare now to the combine.

Excuse me sir please keep your race baiting out of my football.

What would that be? Speak up.

You cannot understate how desperate many teams are for a QB. We all saw the AFC playoffs. We just had the largest guaranteed contract given to Watson. The Panthers can get cute with trading back if they want but it's always a gamble.

If a bridge QB is all you're looking for then start PJ. There is no upside to watching Cam Newton lose for this team at this stage in his career.

Brother we know the oline was bad but we couldn't get three yards in two tries against Washington with the game on the line to defeat a Taylor Heinecke led Washington team in our house. If you want him to mentor Malik that would be one thing but expecting him to work magic again is fantasy. He already put in his time trying to will this hapless franchise. You gotta let it go.

Unless Cam will be hopping into a time machine or growing a new throwing arm a full offseason won't change the limitations of the offense with him. No defenses are scared of our vertical passing offense. They know it doesn't exist save for a few attempts.

But muh 3-0! Kyle Allen went on a 4 game win steak and we had the same weirdos that wouldn't accept what he was too. You know what it's about.

Idk from what I've seen the folks who would like a QB in this draft seem to realize the desperation of the situation. Most of the Darnold lovers if there are any left want an LT. And to be clear I would very much be okay with taking one of the top tackles at 6. But if all that awaits us in September is Sam Darnold I cannot abide. That is as clear of a guaranteed signal as you can get to the 52 other players on the roster that the '21 season is a waste. That's a tough outlook for guys who are in their prime. I'm not saying a rookie QB or a FA quarterback we could pickup will be a fix all or make us playoff contenders but I think it would be a hell of a lot better than watching a rerun of last years offense.

It's weird you get poo for this. Fitterer has as much to prove as Rhule. If he wasn't vehemently opposed to the Darnold trade and picking up his 19 million dollar option there is no need for empty praise. Show me something in this draft and then we can talk. Until then we have 1 pick in the top 100 and he is responsible for that.

This needs to be the auto reply for any and all Sam Darnold related posts that attempt to downplay how bad he is.

Absolutely. But Sam is worse. With Jimmy he was at least terrible from start to finish and guided us to a top overall draft selection. Darnold is also terrible but he will fool you with a brief glimpse of a few meaningless wins and not even get you a top 5 pick for your misery. If we're waving the white flag on the upcoming season just start PJ Walker and let Sam skip town with his robbery money.

I used to laugh it off but now it is just annoying how low the standards have become. We've gone from a winning or mediocre season every other year to just a dumpster fire and some people are like yes please give me more of that. I don't care if we aren't competing for a super bowl or playoffs right away just give me a QB that isn't a cringy interception machine please.

So bandwagon. Cool story bro

He has been a Sam Darnold homer since the draft. He just doesn't want to be proven wrong. Sorry buddy we're not keeping the worst starting QB in the NFL around just to serve your ego.

Jets fans already know what happens. And at this point they are somehow more intelligent than some of our own.

Now you're a Nets fan? Didn't you move to NY from North Carolina?

Never know which team you're going to get on any given night. At least they finished and shook off a years long losing streak.
