This timeline is nuts. Just don't do that man dirty again. Make it right.

He's been active just not posting. It's no coincidence he's gone on a hiatus the moment mgmt decisions started bursting into flames after he's spent the last few months talking them up as if they were infallible. I hope he's doing well though.

Ahhh now that Sam sucks rushing td's don't matter again

The reason you see that stuff is bc we have not only made poor decisions since moving on from him we have made the worst possible decisions. We now have the worst qb in the league and we invested three draft picks for him. Until we stop faceplanting in our quest to locate the next long term starter this will continue and maybe instead of directing all your energy into this you could direct some into asking why our staff is so inept at qb evaluation

It's no different than people talking about Luke Kuechly whose Panther career was also cut short. Both players had significance to the best times in the history of the franchise. If you keep choosing this hill to die on and get upset about eventually people are going to come to the conclusion you are one of two things. Ignorant or crazy.

Has any of the local media asked Rhule about why Darnold even played in the first place? That should be the most frequent question for the next week.

Keep that same energy for your own favorite players if that's truly how you feel. Is Sam under the microscope for how he is handling losing? Is anyone analyzing his sideline demeanor or behavior? Is anyone questioning how he is conducting himself in a press conference? Are any mothers sending in tersely worded letters admonishing him for being himself on the football field? Idk what your history is but it appears something is there you even made sure to bring up not diving on the fumble for selfish reasons. Again for someone who claims to be against making things personal with athletes you are not being consistent.

You have a track record of dragging Cam through the mud over the years too. But praise and comparisons to hall of fame qb's just a few months ago for Darnold.

Whatever happens I know Sam will be just fine he is set for life and has 18 million dollars guaranteed to help him start whatever path he so chooses from here. I have no ill will toward him on a personal level I just wish all this didn't hurt the Panthers future in the process. All that being said. You've made it a point to lecture people here about class but you have made a clear effort to go out of your way to drag our previous long term starting qb for very petty reasons and as the saying goes you reap what you sow.

You have had a lot of things to say about Justin Fields but how do you feel about these takes now hoss?

Possibly but if you watch Sam at USC you'll see some of the same blunders. It's just never gotten any better. He has always been boom or bust.

The blame everything on Adam Gase days sure didn't last long.

What's not to believe about Sam's time to throw stats? We've seen it with our own eyes. His worst blunders have been with a clean pocket. Sam has the same processing and poor decision making as he did in college where he had a ton of turnovers. Some qb's grow out that. He didn't and we are stuck paying the price while the team that drafted him originally has two better options and draft capital. We talked about worst case scenario months ago when this gamble was made. Well this is it.

I could agree if the new decision makers weren't currently creating their own mess. Dave Gettleman had the same built in excuses and made the same blunders that further dug us into a hole. It is perfectly reasonable to ask questions and look at all this with the necessary perspective of our past bc the Panthers have a distinct knack for repeating mistakes and so far it isn't looking good on multiple fronts.

What a difference a month makes.

"Under the radar amirite boys..." *veers right off the steepest cliff*

It's only a toxic place to browse if you are still caping for Sam Darnold and keeping his cod piece by your night stand. He's the worst QB in the nfl and we got fleeced in that trade no amount of excuses changes that.

Got hosed on that replay review. Gave Lakers all the momentum. That's how they do small market teams.

Fields and oline should have been the 2021 draft instead we give up 3 picks for a known bust and stack corners while the oline rots. Mismanagement plain and simple. Great way to get canned in the modern nfl.

Hornets are what they've been didn't expect miracles here. I'll thoroughly enjoy seeing this Lakers team get eliminated in the playoffs though.

It all depends on how the locker room responds to the starting qb. Could see several more blowouts or we could be halfway competitive. But for now there isn't one team the rest of the way I feel confident we could defeat.

And with an 18 million dollar price tag. The coddling of this man from the very beginning has just been ridiculous.
