You weren't even a Panthers fan a year ago this time chill 🤣

What does that have to do with anything? 🤨

There are naysayers here who want Sam to fail just to get on their soapboxes and say "I told you so".

The Carolina Panthers have had two long term quarterbacks in 25 years. Folks being apprehensive about Darnold isn't surprising but you need to know the history to gain an understanding. One year isn't enough.

My point was that there are naysayers here who want Sam to fail just to get on their soapboxes and say "I told you so".  

That's what I was responding to. 🤷‍♂️

Probably a few but that's not new. Cam Newton had people who disliked him so much and wanted to be right about him being a bust they saw a silver lining in losing because it made him look bad. Sam will create plenty of fans if he gives them something to cheer for and makes this offense respectable again.

I don't think the people, this time last year, that said Teddy had been a checkdown QB his entire career and was really a backup at this point......were rooting for him to fail.   It was just acknowledging what Teddy had proven to be as a QB in the NFL and not expecting life to be different here. 

Think a lot of that is at the heart of what some call "wanting Darnold to fail". 

I'll be rooting for him to destroy the Jets come week 1 with the best game of his career for a little 89 blood and guts revenge.   But I really just feel he will be a variation of what he has always been in the NFL.

And if he does fail, you'll be gone because you're not a Panthers fan. You're a Sam Darnold fan. Don't start thinking you're a "better" fan than people who were here long before Sam Darnold.

I haven't really been following along. But are there like real hardcore Sam Darnold fans around here now?

Like in the vein of BDJSers?

There's a couple who showed up after we traded for Darnold. They're welcome, but yeah I don't have much patience for them lecturing long-term Panthers fans on how to be Panthers fans when the thought of being a Panthers fan had never crossed their mind prior to a few months ago and who will almost certainly disappear as suddenly as they appeared if Darnold doesn't become a part of our long-term plans.

That’s just a weird wagon to hitch to. I mean he’s teetering on bust territory depending on how this season shakes out.

So you mean all the complaints and bitching over the past several days because the starters weren't playing in the preseason was wasted and ridiculous. Just as I said, why don't we wait to see what happens before all the angst. Will folks learn from this before going off the rails again? Of course not..

So apparently DJ tweaked his back yesterday but wanted to go today anyway 

coach called him a warrior…our coach wants tough guys on his team willing to run thru walls

i can think of a few guys right now that may not make it…start with our mlb that likes to ride a bike on the sidelines…and drives too fast

if you show up at BOA thinking you are going to see the starting units this weekend.....I would think you might be disappointed.

Thread title IMO is a tad misleading based on what Matt Rhule actually said.

    • One has a proven, offensive-minded, Super Bowl winning head coach along with a top 5 OL + defense. He's being protected and getting the ball back not having to chase the other teams. The other had Frank Reich + Thomas Brown their rookie year with a bottom 5 defense as well as a bottom 5 OL that gave up the 2nd most sacks against a rookie QB ever. The sophomore season is being ran with a top 5 OL but also with a rookie HC (that has just one year of OC experience) and a bottom 5 defense still. The Broncos defense has allowed over 20pts just three times this season (26 vs. SEA (L), 23 vs. LAC (L), 41 vs. BAL (L)). Meanwhile, the Panthers have had ONE game where the defense gave up less than 20pts (vs. NYG (W)).   I'm not sure how folks couldn't expect Bo Nix to statistically perform better given their incredibly different situations. With that said, I didn't expect Nix to keep ascending as impressively as he has this season. Hopefully his arc will give other older college QBs a better shot, especially given the recent media blitz against the NFL regarding how development of the QB position in the league seems to be non-existent. Hopefully Bryce continues to improve as well, of course.  
    • “You can learn a lot in 10 games,” Nix said. “[I’m] still learning, still growing, but just finding ways to execute the play that’s called, no matter what it is: run play, pass play. It doesn’t matter. Just finding the right way to go with the ball.” To that point, Nix noted how his developing partnership with head coach Sean Payton has helped Denver’s offense get to the next level. “To be honest, I think at the beginning, you kind of make the NFL bigger than what it actually is,” Nix said when asked where he feels he’s made the most strides. “These players are really good, but at the same time, you have really good players on your level. I think simplifying the game, trying to play as fast as possible, and finding a completion, which is what we’ve been able to do here recently. “I think as we’ve gone on, Coach and I have found a good rhythm of what we both like, what we can kind of put out there on the field, and what we can execute. Then the guys have kind of adapted to it, found our roles within the offense, and executed at a high level. It’s just all about slowing the game down and processing things in a manner that you can handle. Just kind of see one or two things, and let those guys take you to where the ball is supposed to be.” -Bo Nix From what I'm gathering regarding Bryce, the Panthers entered this season with a reset mindset. It's Young's rookie year, which explains the benching. Now, we're beginning to see the development of Canales and Young's offense. Slow development but we're winning 😃 
    • Bix has more tds through his first 11 games than bryce has his entire career....no comparison at all he made amazing throws during his first games his decision making just keeps getting better.  Young does not have the physical ability ro make the rhrows bo makes
