Watch Kyle Shanahan turn Darnold into a Pro Bowler

[ickmule]

I wish him all the best.

Darnold is playing for the team he grew up rooting for as a child. What a dream to actually play for them with this loaded offense. Unless we play them at which time they all are dead to me, I will root for CMC and Darnold. They don't play in our division but are in our conference so I am fan unless we are vying for a playoff spot.

Please don't let us play them, we don't do well in revenge games , Baker will probably drop 400yds on us the first game

I’ve just got this feeling Darnold tears it up on the 49ers next year.

He very well could and honestly, I hope he does.  I didn't want to keep him but I've always thought he had more to give than what he did under the coaching staff for the Panthers.

 

[Jon Snow]

Whatever he becomes it will be too late to do us any good.

I expect to see that the results with Beathard, Hoyer, Lance, and Mullens is the result of Shannahan. Garappolo and Purdy were just better QBs. Darnold will prove that to be true as he struggle with Shannahan like many other QBs.

He very well may.  It seems anyone can be successful in that offense.  

If our new qb and offense is going strong, it won't be too hard to see darnold succeed.  However, if our house is in shambles, that will be painful to see simultaneously.

i’d rather watch Reich turn our QB into one

Maybe for a few games but eventually Sam will do what Sam does.

This is the weirdest QB fetish in Panthers history.

I don't think it's a Darnold fetish as much as an inferiority complex. Look for the worst in literally everything that happens and play victim to it.

I’ve just got this feeling Darnold tears it up on the 49ers next year. They have a loaded offense with probably the best offensive coach in the NFL. They were probably heading to the Super Bowl if Purdy didn’t get hurt in the NFC championship game. Darnold was playing well in most games at the end of 2022 and that was on a team with Ben McAdoo calling plays.

This is easily the best situation Darnold has been in and it seems like he turned a corner late last season. I think he beats Lance for the starting job and has a career season. Good for him for landing in an ideal situation. 

Would not be surprised if he had a Gino Smith type career.

Best of luck to Sam.  He appears to have landed in the best case scenario for a QB.

If Shanahan can't help him, I doubt anyone else can.

I hope he doesn't have the season ending injury issue the rest of the SF qbs have had.

that play was on 4th down btw. but yes lets continue to suck off Shanahan and say he's the best HC ever. lmao

3 out of the last 4 years were either a Super Bowl appearance or NFC championship appearance. I’ll take it.
