Not for nothing but Sam wishes he was Rodney Pete at this point.

This thread is a big assumption that this team will run the table to make the playoffs. I think this thread would've been better not being made until it was certain that Carolina was IN.

yeah...That's my feeling as well. I still don't think we run the table but I'll watch just to see what happens.

Are you all in on a Panthers Playoff Push? With Sam at QB? I mean I like that Wilks is basically (and purposely) keeping the offense on the ground and also rolling Sam out of the pocket (since we know he stinks when he stands there) but I would be very surprised if the Panthers manage to run the table and get in, and even more surprised if Sam helped get it done. If these 2 past games have shown anything, it's that perhaps to some other team out there, Sam may be backup-material after all. (btw, he missed a sure-fire TD to DJ in the endzone also)

Pardon the bump, fellas... But may I point out that Sam had one throw at the start of the game(i believe) that was almost picked and made a poor decision in forcing a ball to Tremble who was covered in the endzone instead of running it in himself (he had wide-open space)? It wasn't exactly mistake-free football from him. He was fortunate he wasn't picked (That could've set the tone for the whole game right there) and we lost points on the latter. For those here saying we need a QB, yeah you damn right we need a QB.

If Darnold gets us to a NFC South (Title? I guess that's what you meant to say), I will revert (Temporarily) back into the annoying fanboy I was when I first arrived here. In other words, I am so confident that Sam will fail, that I am willing to bet my sanity.

Seriously? My god, what a tool.

That actually sounds pretty fair to me. It's also very unlikely he does that (I would be stunned if he did that WITHOUT a safety blanket like CMC to throw to) but yeah...I guess. He wouldn't be the starter (he'd be holding a clipboard and cheering on his teammates which is what he does better anyway) so whatever.

I love your gimmick. Now do Matt Rhule : "I'm a good Football Head Coach" Audience reaction :

Only scenario I can see Sam Delusional staying is if he accepts the ABSOLUTE BARE MINIMUM salary....as a BACKUP and understands that he will never start another NFL Game except for injury. If Sam's delusions on that Podcast are any indication, though, I think he honestly believes he's still "starter material" in the NFL, in which case I'd just let him walk and move on.

And he probably won't care 'cause he's set for life, thanks to a fuggin' idiot of an owner.

FUG HIS PRIDE!! Wilks just proved Matt is a Never-will-be (not a Has-been).

You know....I once referred to Sam Darnold as Sam Delusional after that Podcast where he overrated his abilities much to our astonishment (and amusement). It seems Matt overrates his abilities as a Coach (but we're not amused). Difference? Sam, for all his faults, is not a frickin' douchenozzle a$$hole like Matt who throws an ENTIRE ORGANIZATION under the bus. FUG YOU, MATT! Hope the Nebraska program fails harder than your diet.

Hard to tell the NFL was too big for him as his GUT challenged the NFL's size on a daily basis.

meh. Matt would've ruined him, too. It didn't matter what QB we got.

Don't worry, Matt. We wish you never took this job either. But Tepper is an idiot and gave you a blank check (basically) so you would've been an idiot to turn that down from an even bigger idiot. Everybody is an idiot in the business side of things of the Panthers.

More like the Denver Broncos are the Worst team in the NFL right now.

Having more arm talent means nothing if you don't have it up here (*points to head*).

Let me just say this as I drop by (since I'm paying more attention to my NJ Devils than the Panthers this season) : The Broncos have to be embarassed to have been beaten by Sam friggin' Darnold. I mean...damn. That's about as low as you can go. Bright side is the Panthers have got quite the Running Back.

It's a real bummer that Fitt actually rejected the deal as it guarantees that we are going to tie up a huge part of the cap onto one player who isn't at all an Elite pass rusher. smh. Only the Panthers, man. Only the Panthers.

anyway, it's looking like Fitts really did reject the offer so I guess this discussion is over. Whatever.

Don't mean to re-hash old news but there was zero guarantee he would've been available. sure hindsight is hindsight but we didn't know that at the time.

And? So we stop looking for a QB because of this? How are we going to find one if we don't draft one?

Nothing is guaranteed. But when you can get two freebie 1st rounders to go along with your own 1st rounders in 2 upcoming drafts, you do it. This isn't like they're offering two 2nd rounders or anything (in which case I'd tell the Rams GM to go screw himself)....

Yeah I don't get the reluctance around here. The rams are bent over a barrel just waiting for the Panthers, and the Panthers are like "oooh...look at the turtles over there!"
