He can be...as long as everything around him is perfect. 

He doesn't handle pressure very well. When things start to break down, he breaks down. 

When he's knocked down, he can't pick himself up. 

The biggest issue is confidence. He doesn't have it and he can't instill it in the people around him. 

Hardest thing to rehab in a QB is confidence. It's why I was not excited about the trade from the beginning. We don't have a Oline full of vets he can lean on. Teddy Bridgewater does the exact same thing and caught a lot less poo for it. Of you're going to rehab broken QBs it's best to have strong leadership on the line and at the WR level. Guys that have extreme confidence in their ability. We don't have that yet. Quite frankly we needed Cams confidence for our offense to gain any and that's a perfect example of weaknesses else where. This team needs a Vet to come in and say we are the best on the field. Not a once broken QB who is trying to find his place.

I've always been positive about our defense. You just can't see that through those tears over Cam's return.

I love Cams return and you thinking not is exactly what I'm talking about. I think it's exactly what this team needs. So get that negativity out of here.

it was a good idea. just not the best situation to be put into. like david carr. he could have been rehabilitated...if he had time to recover and rebuild after houston. he was supposed to sit behind jake for a year or two and then step in (still a gamble, but whatever). 

the two crucial things sam needed that he didn't have here was a competent OL and a mentor QB. we didn't really have control over carr having to step on the field earlier than he should have, but we had control over sam's situation here. we failed. we just need to move on. sam is on the same level with clausen and david carr. irreedemable.

Teddy played way better than Darnold and caught way more flack than he probably deserved, and alot of it was coming from the now members of the Sam Darnold fan club oh the irony. 

All this Sam's broken needs rehab, blah..blah.blah.. no...he just can't play. Jamarcus Russell wasn't broken, didn't need rehab either, he just couldn't play. Their is a word for it, it's called a bust. 

Sam's been a bust since he's been in the NFL and after 4 years is no better than he was as a rookie, still turning the ball over at an ungodly rate. 

Maybe he has a career as a backup, hope he's not needed to ever start another game for the Panthers though.

I disagree, I saw his talent and good decision making at times. IMO next year you bring Cam back if this works and let Darnald just breathe. Having to take the beating he did in NY couldn't have been fun. Heck look at them right now. The fans have already jumped off the Zack Wilson train and he's looking to be Darnald 2.0. I'm ok with building our line next year and seeing what happens two years from now. Worst case is we lose a 2nd round pick and have a guy as a back up for a year.

No Teddy didn't. Just because he checked down didn't make him better. Not to mention he had a better line. He won the same amount of games and looked equally as bad. Hell he still looks just as bad as a Bronco and the fans are questioning his heart just like here.

Teddy played way better than Sam on a worst roster and kept us way more competitive. Any blind man's seeing eye dog could see that. Only the Sam Darnold delusional fan club thinks otherwise. 

Teddy won another starting job after leaving here and still has them in the running for a playoff spot. Darnold will be lucky to win a back up role after this

Teddy is one of those good backup/marginal starter types. You feel good if he's your backup. You don't feel good if he's your starter, but guys can have long careers and make a lot of money filling that type of role. Darnold isn't even a good backup. You wonder WTF your organization is thinking if Sam Darnold is on your roster at all.

Teddy got traded to a team who had zero talent at QB and has looked exactly the same. No one is delusional except the people like you who don't understand the complexity of the QB position. I'm not going to trash teddy. He is what he is but we didn't see any more success under him.

If he doesn't get "IR'd" and Tepper doesn't step in to tell Rhule to get his head out of the sand. Darnold probably plays two franchises the Jets and Panthers to top 5 picks in the draft in back to back years.

With that logic I bet a lot of Patriot fans were saying Cam wasn't even a good back up for them. That's why they cut him. Short minded fans are exactly that. Win or you're completely trash.

      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. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  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...
