Isn't that what good coaches are supposed to do? Scheme to strengths and hide weaknesses. Here in Carolina we do it different. 

how do you hide a defensive line that cant set the edge, cant stop the run up the middle or create any pressure on the qb?

Darnold is who he is. The current situation reminds me of the Vikings a few year ago when they started a journeyman at QB and made it to the NFC Championship game. 
Then that player sucked when he left the team. Same thing with Foles when he left the Eagles. 
Darnold is “good” now. But we all know if he wasn’t in this perfect situation he would still be not good. 
When Darnold was here we said he needed a perfect team to be good and now he is on one that is perfect for him.

He is still doing Darnold stuff. He is throwing into double coverage, bad mechanics, and panicking with the slightest pressure. He just has a monster WR and a monster defense. He is a good place holder, but you better go get a guy who can make plays when you want to make the jump.

So the Sam Darnold panthers had a strong running game, Dawg mentality, and  DJ Moore. Sam showed some progress (he still had some damnit, Sam plays, but so did our 2 best QBs of all time)… and it was all burned down, for this. It was moldable. But nope. Too conventional. 

Right now, I have no idea what the base is because we seem to keep falling through every floor we step on.

I get that but he is now playing better because he's being coached up and they have actually acquired talent instead of trading for projects. We've had how many QBs since Cam's shoulder took a crap and none of then have developed at all. Darnold is never going to be an all pro, but he's doing OK for now and McCarthy is learning in the way a QB should his rookie year, from the bench. Meanwhile we traded for a QB whose only skill so far seems to be tricking a pretend GM out of 30m dollars.

    • Ok so when a team has a plus sign (panthers +7.5) that means Vegas is giving you 7.5 points so  the Panthers can win or even LOSE by 7 points and you would still win your bet, when a team has a minus sign (broncos -7.5) that means you need more that amount to win the bet. The second column is the over / under for total points in the game. That's self explanatory The final column is the money line so just who you think wins the game.  Now the odds. It's oddly reported but essentially that is the odds of your bet. Lower numbers equals less return on your money. It's easiest to think of it has 100 dollars. With -110 odds that nets you essentially 90 dollars (91 to be exact) plus your original money back. So if the Broncos win by 8 and you put 100 dollars in you would net 91 dollars but have 191 in your account. For positive odds like the Panthers money line you can essentially take the first two numbers and multiply it by your betting amount.  So 100% on the Panthers money line would net you 2.8 X 100 280 dollars with the original bet back so 380 would be in your account. Obviously there with really, really low odds like -1000 you are not going to profit that much money unless you bet a HUGE chunk of money.  I'm not advising you to gamble but play around with it in the app and it will tell you how much you are going to make if you hit your bet Also if you are starting to gamble DO NOT bet large amounts. Start with like 1 and 5 dollars. Good gamblers are principled and only bet units of money. For some a unit is 1 dollar for some it's 1000 dollars. Depending on your disposable income but eventually Vegas wins and the sport is too random to bet 100% correct. Excellent gamblers have like a 60% success rate or even less.  Gambling help? Call 1-800...
    • At some point we have to keep proven commodities on the roster, I’ve heard all the rational of releasing cam, trading cmc, trading burns, trading DJ Moore etc  as bad as this roster is we need retain anyone that would fetch a 2nd or 3rd in a trade, can’t trust that we can draft adequate replacements 
    • Fields could be interesting to bring in next off season, but there are some other interesting FA QBs as well. They may not be high profiled Qbs, but interesting enough to take a look.
