This loss is on the receivers, not Sam.

First play of the game interception set the tone. Need team leaders to play better.

It was a bad decision, because he threw it too Robbie. You want to talk about leadership? Ask the guy who called out the coaching staff last week and responded this game with the most uninspired effort of any Panther ever… including KB!!

Sam was sold on the idea he would NOT have to play hero ball.  He was told he would NOT have to do it all.  He was told he had a defense and a run game and WRs galore!

3 weeks in and they dump it all in his lap and send him out to the wolves behind that line with no CMC and a depleted D.

Im stunned his play has declined…(sarc)

Hell of a bait and switch.

Sam is one of many problems this team is facing;

terrible o-line

stud rb who can’t stay on the field 

OC who seems lost at times

 below average ST

talented D who are being asked to perform miracles because our offense is inept most of the time.

A HC who basically admitted he doesn’t know how to adjust during games.

Sam may not be the future. Sam may have shat the bed the past two losses.

But played good enough today for what he is. He led a last minute drive with precision passes. He side stepped poo blocking (once again).

Today we lost because of drops. Had the receivers caught those dead on passes, we would’ve won, guaranteed.

I understand the concerns of Sam but let’s keep this in perspective.

Exactly. 

People harped on last week's pass to Robbie saying "oh.  Well Sam should've thrown it at the numbers to Robbie 'cause that's why he couldn't catch it".

Well he threw a bunch of those today and they STILL DROPPED IT.

So yes.   This loss is on the WRs.  

But let's not also give a pass to the Defense or rather the -EFENSE ('Cause the "D" was missing) who gave up :

198 Yards RUSHING

370+ Yards PASSING

 

Jesus Christ that's bad.

We also need Wide Receivers to catch the goddamn football for 58 minutes after that, too.

We also need the Defense to not give up about 198 rushing yards and 370+ passing yards to the opponent either.

No team wins with 10 dropped passes. Yet Sam had them within a coin toss of doing just that.

 

 

Yep.   All the -EFENSE had to do was play some "D" and force (in the least) a FG to get the ball back and perhaps Sam would be clutch again.   But we'll never know because they couldn't stop a nosebleed today.

Sam is probably the second biggest problem on the team behind the raging dumpster fire at OL.

But this was just a game we were destined to lose. The stalwart defense wilted, our WR's got a case of the Crisco hands.....it was crazy.

At some level I am glad it is Sam out there getting drilled and not some promising rookie we drafted. It's pretty clear Darnold is going to be the future here so let him work out the kinks on offense while we keep building that OL in 2022.

    • I'm with you.  Even an extra 3rd would help.  None of the players you listed are elite though.  Sadly there are very few of those in this draft, but there are a lot of good players in the late first and into the second. We need to realize that we can't get all our needs in this year's draft.  We know we need some sort of edge, a safety, and I feel we need to use one of first 4 picks on a CB, preferably 3rd at latest.  And I want to draft an OT in 3rd to learn behind Moton this year. The extra 2nd would be huge.  2 things Bear Hands has noted in other threads, we can get a rusher in the mid rounds of the first, and if a good LT is available at our pick we should be able to get a deal. I'm ok.  If the media takes are close, trading back to around 15 should get us a second, and since our second is near the end of that round, getting one earlier opens up a whole lot of opportunities.  Either way, Canales builds his infrastructure with this draft.  Next year, with all our picks and probably picking somewhere between 10 and 15, we can get real stars.   All of this depends on hitting on picks this year.
    • You got the gist of his main issue. He plays LB or whatever on D, but hates to tackle and contact. That's the summary.  I normally have a wide margin of " Hey vet min/bring him for try out/maybe he changed/etc etc". But he can not be trusted, * but he did just have his "best" season. He's like those RB that refuse to run between the tackles, bounce everything outside...they too are scared of contact. That's like the whole point of NFL, he's able to trick and athlete his way for 5 years, props to him and his agent.  Me personally I view him like virus, I wouldn't want him on film shying away from hitting while the rookies&UDFA are looking for how the Panthers do things. Plus Im the biggest sucker there is about giving former 1st, 2nd, etc another chances. Just not someone who doesn't want to play NFL and fools those with his god given gifts.  ____________________________________________________________   \ Not to add another layer to this, but I feel contact and hitting its the biggest problem for the NFL. I sorta agree with TEs, WRs, and RBs either going out of bounds or falling to the ground to avoid a solid hit(this goes out the window for 1st downs, SB, etc.) Like if a WR caught a deep slant and already gained 17 yards, but here comes a safety with a great angle, Im all for that WR to fall on the ground...... ugh...... But I think the opposite for my defense. I feel this topic is central sun hot and NFL has done a great job in avoiding it. Im surprised NFL is still allowed, I have huge doubts in the future. 
    • not sure if carolina picks a WR in this draft, they have some young WR already and will let them develop. Need another vet imo.  I think carolina is going to pass more to the RB's this coming season, look for them to move heaven and earth for Cam Skatteboo.  I really hope they go TE Warren in the 1st. That would add another dynamic to this offense.
