How long a leash will they give S.D if he is struggling? Half a season? The entire season? P.J is the only option if they have to look elsewhere. Grier is not an option.

Will the coach pull the plug if the starter isn't working out?

As terribad as Teddy was last year, Walker only got to see the field when Teddy was injured. I expect the same scenario this season.

I think as long as he's healthy then Sam Darnold is the qb all season.  If hes not the answer then I'm fairly sure they dont think the answer is on the roster.  So far our approach at qb feels a lot like Tepper and his making his fortune on hedge funds.   Their method to find a qb so far seems to take flyers on low risk potentially high reward shots.  If they dont pan out in their first season then they didnt give up that much and arent especially tied to them for more than a year or two and if they hit on one then they didnt give up much and have a good young qb.  The downfall being it can potentially basically mean they are almost throwing away seasons on an individual basis but they are also adding more and more pieces to surround the eventual qb of the future.  Hopefully its Darnold.

I said it in the game thread yesterday...  I think PJ is one of those guys who don't look great on practice, but for some reason, he flips a switch when it's an actual game.  It's probably got a lot to do with why he excelled in college and the XFL, but has struggled to find footing in the NFL (that and the competition level as well).  But, he has shown some great things when he has been given the opportunity to play.  I don't count the New Orleans game last year bc they were beating the breaks off of us altogether.

The entire season, only because the staff refuses to address the elephant in the room.  PJ on his best day is no better than Darnold and then there's that clipboard guy.

PJ didn't look like the answer last year. They made their bed with Darnold. If he's terrible, it's time to lie in it. Keep trotting him out there and let him deliver a high draft pick. It is what it is for this season. We've chosen to ride with Darnold, so ride on whether it's great, good, bad, or ugly.

Sorry but PJ isn’t the answer either in his two games he threw 1 td and 5 ints people are overreacting about what he did yesterday. We need a backup and if we keep three he would be a good third string that’s it!

Yup, you just restated the same thing I said yesterday after the game regarding our QB situation.

True, and if Darnold goes down, rinse and repeat...just insert the name Walker instead of Darnold.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
