Sadly im at work and can only get excited about the snippets. I will watch after though for sure! Lol ima prolly stay out this thread for the spoilers. I sure hope its good!!!!!

Panthers social media is posting snippets (I saw a few videos on the instagram page.

Sam Darnold just wasn't one of those shine in the dark QB's. Plain and Simple. Deshaun Watson (no im not here to argue the case for trading for him again) may have not have had the exact situation as Sam, but you can definitely say he shined in the dark. Some QB's make things happen with what they have. That is the elite talent that is rare. We have to realize that Sam isn't that. He needs a team around around him to win. He needs Elite talent around him. This isn't to bash Sam. Regardless of if you have the shine in the dark QB or not... you still have to build a team around the QB to win a super bowl. With that being said, I like the Sam pickup as it may or may not have allowed us to get a QB and work on building the roster. Rhules main point on missing on fields was that we essentially got two players for one at 8 Sam and Jaycee. Two birds with one stone. Potential QB and roster building player.

The Jets new front office waited, evaluated Sam and the Top QB prospects in the draft, then made their decision. What came of their evaluation of football talent was the #2 selection of Zach Wilson. Now was that decision a mistake, time will tell. But I can tell you that they are and were very confident in making that decision for a reason.

Defense mainly won that game.

It's not lazy thinking. Just some are not as open-minded. There are wayyy more reasons to believe that it won't work. There are guys that were supposed to be the next generational talent and didn't work. There are guys that have had multiple chances in multiple organizations and just didn't work. I mean you have to take your chance as an organization, but you have to have those guys that disagree. If everyone just agreed on everything in here, i mean it wouldn't be fun or interesting. Side note: I just used your post to get my lil rant off lol Every fan would like to think we have our QB for the next 10 years. Just doesn't happen that easy and people know that.

Yeah for sure. If we paid him what he was worth rather than what we thought he could magically become... things might've been different. Maybe not majorly different. But the fanbase likely wouldn't have been as mad.

Lol I didn't quote in it for this exact reason. Wasn't aimed at you. Just a general post. You are heard and understood. Enjoy your day sir. Keep Pounding!

Reposting these articles to start conversations and debates and such... not to bitch about the author that can't even see your message to improve his writing. Not the best article. But something to post.

You could also say it seems improbable that we can coach Sam to be a franchise guy. I think, from what we've seen out of both so far in they're respective careers... Sean has a better chance with Winston than we do with Sam. But that is my personal opinion and its mainly based off Sam in NY. I am not out on Darnold, he does have a solid chance of bouncing back and becoming what many think he can be. I will wait until he completes a full season with us. I am in the group that wants to believe.

I didn't write this article or share this article to troll those that are fans of Sam and/or optimistic of what he can do for this organization this year and beyond. Its a good read and was just a little too long for me to paste into here. Below are the two topics the post goes over: -Sam Darnold’s style of ball may doom Carolina Panthers -Sam Darnold’s typical style doesn’t translate to long-term success -Can Sam Darnold fix his flaws to shine in Carolina?

I think Sam has a better chance of hitting his projected numbers than those two, but he won't have a better season than likely either. I mean I hope he does. As much as we want to say "oh the time in NY doesn't count because off..... (insert excuse)" but those stats/numbers do matter. Nothing has been shown he is "the guy". It's one thing to hope he has success, but to just start placing him in front of guys that has actually produced something (may not have been a lot, they've produced 20x what Sam has). You could argue that he'd likely have a better season than Winston, but with Sean Payton, Alvin and Thomas.. there's also plenty of reason to believe otherwise. And for cousins, he may be an above average QB, but he has consistently been that, and Sam hasn't been that ever. I am a Sam fan but I look at things realistically. Hope he puts in the work and the necessary changes are made.

Carolina Panthers Get Sam Darnold Comfortable in the Offense Bring Christian McCaffrey Along Slowly Pick a No. 3 Wide Receiver To be fair, the Carolina Panthers have questions to answer on defense. Who plays where at linebacker (and which linebackers stay on the field on passing downs) is a matter that may not be decided until well into the summer. But the biggest "to-dos" in Charlotte in 2021 are on offense—largely because the team has a new quarterback in Sam Darnold. As David Newton reported for ESPN, Panthers coach Matt Rhule noted how important it is that Carolina's young skill-position players get as much work in as possible with the team's 23-year-old signal-caller. "We have a young team," Rhule said. "It's a chance for us to develop some just very basic skills for a lot of guys, basic knowledge of our system, then try to grow from there." However, there's one player we probably won't see much of—at least where contact is concerned. There's been nothing to indicate that star running back Christian McCaffrey won't be 100 percent for the season opener after an injury-marred 2020. Still, it's a safe bet that his participation in padded practices will mostly be done in a non-contact jersey. With Curtis Samuel now catching passes in the nation's capital, the Panthers also need to decide who will serve as the team's third receiver. Free-agent acquisition David Moore is the front-runner in the early going, but if rookie Terrace Marshall Jr. proves to be a quick study, it won't be long before the LSU speedster is on the field.

Thought this was interesting

Good cause I just bought his jersey, lol Definitely need me a #2 jersey though. Looks nice. Gonna look even nicer leaving two, three defenders in the dust on his way to the endzoneeeee bayybeeee

Decisions were made and now they're stuck with them.

Well some people take their health more serious and some people take football more serious. One is sitting with his trophy and one is on a new team

I think its more 50% labeled him as a bust already and 50% are optimistic he can become our franchise quarterback... but i think more so we just hope he is because that brings us that much closer to being in the superbowl conversation. I do agree on the talent being there. Let's just hope he turns out to be the guy.

He'll improve on Pass yds and TDs Likely will have around the same completion percentage. Im thinking around the same amount of INTS or maybe a 2, 3 more (13 is likely) Rushing yds/TDs prolly will be around the same as well Hopefully he plays a complete season

I think his leash will be little too tight to just go out there and be aggressive zipping the ball around. With the numbers he put up the last 3 seasons and the fact that he has to learn a new offense. I don't expect him to be throwing the ball 40 times. He'll maybe hit 30 a few games, but don't expect it to be early in the season.

Lol

Yeah i think there was this thing going around... they called it covid or something lol
