Darnold stat predictions for the season

Recommended Posts

Assuming he plays the full year

339/530, 64% CMP%

4216 yards

24 TD and 14 INT

I think he'll have a lot of yards relative to his TDs, as I expect to see CMC get less touches but a lot of them probably coming in important situations like on 3rd down and near the goalline as well as a YPC increase.

A season like that would give me more confidence in Sam than I have now but wouldn't be enough to convince me he's our franchise guy. Same with my numbers below.

 

 

I'll predict:

4350 yards

30 TDs, 17 INT

62% completion, 7.5 yards per attempt

11-6 team record

 

 

Our weapons and Joe Brady's scheming easily gets him this yardage, Teddy had 3733 yards in just 15 games last year. TDs may be a bit ambitious but I think it's doable. OL brings his completion % lower and INT higher than we want, as he'll continue to make poor decisions at times when under heavy pressure. Encouraging season but, again, not enough to be convinced he's the guy.

Then again, his job is not to convince *you* or any one of us that he's the guy.   He's supposed to convince Rhule, Brady, and Tepper that he's the guy.

And if they think he is while you don't, your viewpoint won't matter in the end.

 

Btw, 11-6 is a Guaranteed Playoff Berth, imo.

How would you feel about our future with Sam Darnold going into next season?

 

To me, that's not good enough.  I'd want to see something closer to 30-34 TD's, 15 INTs max.  The only way for that stat line to be ok is if we rack up TD's on the ground.  Basically something similar to what the Titans do.  Focus on the run but the QB can bail out the team out when needed, just as long as it's not asked of him often.  If that makes sense.

I think for me it’s good enough compared to where he was and a 65% completion percentage a 98 rating means he is very effective. Yes I assume we will run the ball a lot in the red zone.

    • Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair. 
    • it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
    • Sounds like a plan. Those are the teams we should be mimicking! lol
