Hard to be high on Darnold and then saying senslesss turnovers must end.  I  mean that is Sam's entire colleigate and professional career.  He is the posterchild. 

But Ben is just doing what he has to do.   He stuck with Sam so what can you do. 

I mean Sams got everything but the brain. His 2018 comments were pretty much the same as today, has occasional magic to his game but has some fundamental issues that no one's ever really bothered to work on. Either way McAdoo is struck me as way smarter than Rhule and much better with his choice of words.

what did you expect him to say?  "Yeah Sam is a turd we cant wait to scrape off our boots"

I mean, he is in a bad spot and can only say and do so much

But to be honest, I would like the Sam BS to end.   I'd rather him say some BS about every spot will be competed for.  Best man plays.  I don't think Sam has earned default starter status at this point in the nightmare.

LOL, not only does Darnold look like the dude in the gif but that's probably how Darnold reacted to hearing that he needs to stop throwing INTs from McAdoo.

How can he say that when there is no QB comp on the roster at this time, and ultimately this is a Rhule decision as far as who plays.

Mcadoo when asked how much he values readiness or potential, he said something along the lines of he would rather swing for the fences. That is an interesting tidbit, my call is Howell or Corall.

Willis has the most upside according to most. That would be the swing for the fences if they stay at 6.

Well, he was not technically wrong. As of this second in time, Sam IS QB1. Hopefully he will not be in September.

Ben was just trying to say the right thing but it's  obvious  he didn't  want to link himself  to a lie. Lol

SAM DARNOLDQB, CAROLINA PANTHERS

Speaking at a presser, Panthers OC Ben McAdoo was asked if Sam Darnold was Carolina's starting quarterback and said "yes."

"That is something I shouldn't have said," McAdoo added. From the mouths of babes. We guess we can't rule this out being some sort of clumsy smokescreen, and nobody should be surprised if the Panthers draft a quarterback. But one of the league's elite Down Bad teams continues to present itself as extremely Down Bad. “Sam was one of the people that intrigued me for the job. Sam does have some magic in his game," McAdoo also said.

His best magic trick is making our offensive possession disappear.

Im fine rolling with Sam. Live or die with Darnold. 

I actually have hope that he will have a decent season this year. Kid still young.

Always enjoy listening to Snow speak

I look at Sam Darnold and I look at PJ Walker....and if you didn't know how they arrived into the NFL and where strictly viewed as two dudes who play QB.....I'd say they are the same tier QB.  Different pros and cons but same tier. 

and yeah, Ben is just saying what Rhule wants.  And clearly they have already discussed Sam is the guy as of right now. 

My preference is simply they stop with the Sam BS.  He isn't very good.  And based on Rhule and even Sam himself in that van interview.....reality seems to be something that is missing at BOA.   lol Sam saying he has proven he can be a very good QB.  We have a HC and a QB who are utterly clueless.  I got no problem with whacky confidence.  For 3rd string to think he can be an All Pro.  I'm cool with the mindset but not fake realities.  Sam has sucked.   He hasn't proven he can play at a high level.   And this charade he should he is a default starter at this point? ....... is just old.
