In other words, if we're going to suck, then let's suck hard.

Yep. That would be a true nightmare, imo. Not just because it would all but end Sam's chances at being a starter wherever he ends up but we will never hear the end of it from CP and his shaking-of-the-poms-poms for PJ. lol.

Darnold is on the list of "Bust" which I don't agree with. So I replied to that part. If you got that from a list on a website somewhere and it's not your opinion, then my bad. But if it is, then there you go.

In the hypothetical situation where Minshew became a Panther, does anyone here really believe that Rhule would play Minshew over Sam after the Panthers gave up a good deal to get him(Darnold)? QB Competition? LOL. That's a good one. Let's be honest with ourselves....In Rhule's eyes, there wouldn't be a competition except at Backup where Minshew would easily beat out PJ. He's hitched his Wagon to Sam for all intents and purposes. Let's see if that Wagon gets to its desired destination.

If a Franchise didn't do jackshit to develop a young QB, how in the hell can that fall at the feet of said QB and not the Franchise(Jets)? Hell...The Jets didn't even have a goddamn QB Coach to help him. The closest he had to one was McCown, a Backup QB who was with him his rookie season(and then was gone the next two).

The skepticism by some is a bit annoying (especially when some are just proclaiming him to be the worst QB in the history of the NFL and continue to whine about Fields or want PJ to start[that's CP, though] ) but I guess it's a What-Have-You-Done-For-Me-Lately league so I'm sure if(or rather...WHEN) Sam plays well and helps the Panthers win NFL games, that attitude will start trending toward a more Positive outlook.

But here's the issue. You trade him anywhere else again, he's done as an NFL Starter. This is IT. If he can't succeed here as a long-term NFL QB Starter, he can't succeed anywhere.

I think there are some of us here who are just as tired and pissed that we had to watch a game where the First Team did not even take the field and are feeling doubtful they will in Game 2 no matter what Rhule says.

I gave a Beer for the vid. Now that said, you're viewing Sam more as a tradeable commodity than someone who has a future here in Carolina??? damn.

I'd rather have Minshew backing up Sam than PJ but that's just me.

Believe it or not, I wouldn't be against Minshew being here. At the end of the day, it's all about the Team and its success. If it ends up that Sam just can't get it done, there will at least be an option on the sidelines who perhaps could.

I really hope they play him and the first team a ton in the next Preseason game... If I was HC, I would have them play the entire 1st Half so we can have SOME idea of where Sam is at and what to expect.

Has he found out if Sam finally got the 2nd half of his couch yet?

If that happens, I'm going to play the Powerball and MegaMillions lottery 'cause pigs would be flying outside.

Well to be fair, if you look at the title, it's not very descriptive. All it said is "QB Controversy" which is enticing to click to find out what this is all about. So you can understand the annoyance by some when it's ONCE AGAIN more PJ Walker talk by the resident PJ Walker fan. *shrugs*

And that idiot was replaced by another idiot. That's Politics, diddy.

Probably not but I'm not coaching the team. I'm just going on how Rhule would do things. Personally, I would have the entire First Team play the entire 1st Half.

No need. You provided the info to back up your "Statistically speaking" comment.

What does that even mean?

He's good.

They really need to search for a new kicker.

Hopefully he'll get One series in Game 2.... *crosses fingers*

Yes. EDIT : At least you provided a link to @OldhamA finally.

The Starting OL would've done better : They would've committed only 3.

Except his "hard road" is to play and help the Panthers win Football games, not to prove he's better than Justin Fields 70 yard bombs? ^^^ Sam can throw the ball deep, too, you know. Anyway, I doubt Justin Fields is even a smidgeon of a thought in his mind right now. It's all the fans here that are in a tizzy. Not sure you're going to get one, OldhamA. Might as well translate that to : "Based on my own personal OPINION that has zero facts to back it up, there is a higher chance of a first round QB succeeding than a reclamation project being successful…"
