Just seems like they have figured out how to remove the dumb.  Sam Darnold as most have always said, was a super physically talented football player.  He potentially could of purused other postions he had so much talent. Which we don't have right now.  The Darnold and Young critiques don't run that similar.  Most of Sam's critiques were about his decision making.  Most of Youngs are about his physical tools. 

 

I don’t know about the multiple positions things, as far as I know he always played qb in HS. He did play multiple HS sports and played them WELL. he was a top baseball recruit too which isn’t really the norm anymore. Bryce for example spent every second from middle school forward in elite invite only qb camps. Darnold just didn’t have a lot of reps at qb when coming out of USC, then went to an awful situation, then went to another awful situation. But he was clearly putting it together at the end of 2022, that saints game not withstanding. 

im not saying 2023 panthers San darnold would be the same as he with the Vikings. I am saying rolling with the 2022 team absolutely has the panthers in a better position any way you look at it than the ongoing bryce disaster.

Darnold was orginally recruited to USC to play linebacker.   That was peak USC too.  Very physically talented athlete.  Textbook stud HS athlete.  He played LB, WR and QB.

The “see, I told you so” crowd always seems to have never, in fact, told us so — and they really don’t like it when a five-second Google search of year, site and username puts the back-patting to a stop. 

You've got a whole lot to say for someone that less than three weeks ago was upset your Bryce Young takes were getting blowback.

Seven people took me saying "Bryce Young's doing a good job, but he needs to be challenged next year" as a personal affront, because it wasn't anointing him as the presumptive league MVP like they demand. Weird people.

Reading this it’s funny. He played LB and WR his freshman year and USC was like “yeah sure.” Switched to qb? “Yeah sure.”

shades of Alabama recruiting eighth graders as “athletes” and worrying about the position they’ll play later.

Google makes things pretty easy to find. And I’m simply presenting what was said. If you have an issue with that, perhaps you shouldn’t have said it. 

For my opinion. I still don’t think Mayfield is that good — like many, he puts up his best stats against all-time weak defenses. Darnold was alright here and I was fine with keeping him in a backup role. 

You have no posting history to look back on through literally years of suckage but you want to be indignant toward others. I see nothing but a coward but you do you.

Might as well head to the Jets and Browns message boards and clown them because they let Darnold and Mayfield go.

I feel like the Jets, Browns and Panthers all share something in common and.....and that's the real story.  And it isn't Sam and Mayfield played between the 3.

Ultimately I think there's a good chance sooner or later we are going to see the full spectrum of both Mayfield and Darnold in the playoffs against much tougher competition. That is the good the bad and the ugly.

A suggestion so pitiful it speaks for itself

Darnold did this against the packers. What harder defense is he playing in the NFC? Philly?

[CarolinaLivin]

yeah darnold would've def worked here. All we needed was a top 10 offensive coach, top 3 WR, complimentary good to great #2 Wr, etc. etc.

[DeAngelo Beason]

Those guys have some pretty dynamite people to throw the ball to on their teams to be fair, and when they were here our o-line was in absolute shambles.

We're desperate for even vague competitiveness and a hint of playoff hopes so Baker and Sam look like Brees and Brady to us but like I said above I'll be surprised if they go far in the playoffs. If you watch them play you can still see glimpses of the same QB's and how they will fair against stout teams with playoff experience will tell us where they really are.
