I took a two year break where I just read the scores and didn't listen or watch. Tepper just took a lot of the fun away I didn't want Rhule, it was just ...break time.

So I missed whatever Darnold people complain about. What I saw in 2022 was almost there and had the tool set. Not slow. Tall, great arm,  was rooting for him and thought if Wilks stayed and Darnold stayed maybe they could be pretty good.

I don't have the scorn for him that a lot of people do. I suppose I'm rooting for him but you know, fug Minnesota totally. Except when they play the Saints lol.

He actually looked about the same as a Panthers game on a good day, but a little more comfortable in the pocket. Watching the full game highlights his arm is obviously stronger than Purdy, who's arm is stronger than Bryce. Benching Bryce is probably a lot more direct and less fuged up than what was going on with Darnold/Baker/Cam getting shaken up and drawing one of their names out of a hat kinda strategy. I'm cool w Dalton but I'd also take any of those three and Teddy over Bryce any day

Darnold looks different to me this time. He’s no loner panicking or getting happy feet when pressured, steps up into the pocket and delivers the ball. I am definitely rooting for him to succeed 

Seems like a good dude and I'd be happy if he found success but I think in the next week or two we start seeing the same old Darnold again.

Baker played under Tepper's missmanagement and now plays them twice a year. Why would he not be smiling while stirring that pot? Good for him.

Also does Tampa look like they miss DC? I didn't catch their games at all but they look to be putting up better numbers without him.

Yeah I am not sold on Canales, this game against the Raiders will be telling

Yeah I heard Tepper told Baker to throw at the linemans head every other play so he could be in position to draft Bryce.

Darnold is fine until he has to play off script. Mentally he just doesn’t have what the great ones do. If he can play within the structure of a friendly offense and know his reads ahead of time he typically looks good. That makes him a top tier backup/lower end bridge QB in this league IMO.

Me neither but there is a lot of stuff I need to see with how bad the breakdown at QB was and just the dysfunction it caused.

Everyone is focusing too much on Sam Darnold.  Kevin O'Connell is a very good play caller.  

I'm not sold on Darnold, but as long as everyone arounds him stays healthy, he should have a decent year with KOC at the helm.

      He’s a boy playing a man’s game in both body and mind. A lot of NFL players have juvenile minds in a man’s body. But you got to have one of them. He’s got none. Bryce’s demeanor is still that of the kid at Mater Dei high school.

      It's not easy. But it is a deeds over words situation anyway.

      Also my comment was directed in a lot of ways at the national media.  How many of these talking heads do you think have any inside information about the Panthers behind the scenes?  How many of them do you think have watched a single Panthers game from start to finish in the past couple years.  I can guarantee you the answer is a lot close to 0% than 10%.  Fans can fan however they want to, if you want to decide we are doomed for the next 10 years then that's your prerogative, but I refuse to listen to these talking heads who know nothing at all about the Panthers blow hot air to try to get a sound bite.  It's like how you can talk crap about your brother, but if someone else does then there is going to be a problem.  That's how I feel about these people who have no idea what they're talking about, they're just piling on for content.
