Super gutsy TD by Sam there, and nice sportsmanship after, even after his helm got ripped off.

Sam is playing so good, despite losing CMC.

And now Moore's hurt? FML

Marshall and Tremble were such steals.

Tremble!

Why is everyone so upset at Chubba? Only watched a little bit, I'm with a friend, but he's only had 2 rushes.

Feel like you have to keep a RB in the backfield in that situation to keep the defense honest with the run threat, and add an extra blocker.

Offensive line was a turnstile there.

It's bad for player health IMO, but... money!

Man is good for 1 40 yard TD every game, then he's hurt.

It feels weird that we're not being doubted for the first time in years.

Great run there from good ol' Sam Newton!

Could he close with this offense and this defense? Too much is made of our record last year. We were a bad team and we were going to be a bad team regardless of who was at QB. I'm not saying Teddy is a great QB, but laying last year at his feet is an over-reaction IMO. For whatever reason, he and the staff didn't get a long, which is a huge anomaly for his career in college and in the NFL. The Panthers and Teddy are both better off having moved on.

People that celebrate injuries are scum.

RBs that can pass block are fairly rare, especially the depth guys.

He's looked okay, but I want to see him against someone other than FSU, Toledo, and Purdue. Not exactly 3 stout defenses. BTW, has he really been sacked 14 times in 3 games?

Got to be on the other end of that opening weekend. Guy is downright scary.

He must have pulled it turning around to see where his assignment had gone to.

You mean we shouldn't have a heavily over-priced OL on the team that has no business taking any snaps outside of being the 3rd string backup? But what about Panthers traditions?

Yeah, it's like young guys in college getting their first reps. You generally need somewhere between 100-200 live snaps before a linemen really starts having things slow down for them.

It's literally week 2. The kid is going to have ups and downs, it's the NFL. Joe Burrow went something like 200 drop backs without throwing an INT and then tossed 3 in a row. Is Burrow suddenly not a promising QB?

That one surprised me. WVU hasn't been bad by any means, but man I didn't expect them to win like that. Great game for them. I miss the days of Louisville and WVU going at it. The Black Out game in 2005 is may be the only game in Cardinal Stadium that has been as good as that UCF game on Friday. Pounding FSU was fun, but man it's hard to beat those close, crazy games.

I think there was some disagreement on what they should do in practice, and how the offense was being run. Now I'm obviously a Teddy guy, for obvious reasons, but I've always believe that the offense needs to be the Coach's offense, but fit around what you have. I don't feel like the Panthers did a very good job fitting their offense around Teddy's abilities, and I also think they should have given more practice time to the redzone if that's what the QB wanted, within reason. If you keep asking a guy to do what he can't, or don't let him practice where he's struggling, at some point the blame starts falling on you. It's like running CMC up the gut into a blitzing defense in a formation where you have all 11 guys in the box, and only 4 DBs on the field, 2 of which are safeties. It's not his strength, and are we going to judge CMC by that when he doesn't pick it up or the coaches? I predicted before the season that Teddy and Sam would both have their best years, and I think I undersold Sam on taking care of the ball. He's looked really good. But it's also a tale of both QBs going from teams that didn't use them to their strengths, to ones that are.

They need to give credit where it's due. Sam balled out yesterday.

I can't watch today, but seeing the Gamecast looks good so far. Today is a good test for Darnold and he's passing with flying colors.
