Darnold's past was with a different team, scheme and coaching staff. PJ's past was with the same team, scheme and coaching staff. There's a greater chance Darnold can have a different result than PJ.

But I get where you're coming from, though. As someone who once championed the cause of Dameyune Craig to the old panther-net listserv, I understand falling for a QB and trying to convince the world he can be the guy.

PJ Walker played 2 games and 1 was the last quarter. Sam Darnold started 3 years. Like I said before, yall dont have to like PJ walker, but gotta use some logic. 

Scott Fitterer seems to like PJ Walker, was it Russell Wilson he compared him to?

"Going down" and "passing the rock to PJ" are synonymous.

A lot of you are accusing the coaching staff of coddling Darnold.

New Team:  Darnold has a new team this year.

Offensive Line:  The Left side of the OL is under construction. OLs take time to gel--think of the OL like your hand--no, the other one--and imagine if you got 2 new fingers.  Oh, and your job was sign language.  See my point?

Depth at QB:  We dont have a competition at QB in camp.  No need to put up huge numbers in camp.  No need to dazzle fans in August.  If Darnold goes down, we all go with him.  Instead of risking injury or damage to his confidence playing behind a three-fingered OL to pass to wounded warrior WRs, why chance it?  What do you want to see in August?

Why go down when the team doesn't have to? No, you pass the rock to PJ and keep going.

even if we expand the list to include arena, which is not what PJ played in, but we’ll assume they are relatively equal, it’s still all of one player. saying PJ was great in the XFL carries as much weight as saying all 6th round draft picks will be as good as Brady.

They played in soccer stadiums.

The Ravens are here. 

 

 

Matt Rhule has said the reason he wanted to have two joint practice weeks with different NFL teams was to give Sam Darnold a good amount of reps against other guys without the worry of getting hit. He felt this would be a good way to get Sam comfortable with the offense. Will it work?

I get it, but it's always a possibility of getting hit. It just seems they are handling him with kids gloves. Hes 3 year now 4th year starter, training wheels should have been off by now.

this dude has to be connected to PJ in some way. he can’t just be a kid in his room pounding the keyboard this hard over a mid level backup

No. Go to panthers youtube, go to any YouTube with PJ walker in it and look at the comment section. Yall see what yall wanna see at this point.

I'd rather have Minshew backing up Sam than PJ but that's just me. 

So sam who lost his spot to wilson, Minshew who lost his spot to Lawrence.

just so we're clear.

If PJ is better than Darnold, that's not only a terrible sign for this season and the immediate outlook of this franchise but would make the Darnold trade one of the worst decisions in franchise history.

Having said that, PJ is still a reasonable backup. If Darnold gets hurt and we're not looking competitive, we can trot him out, make our games semi-interesting even if largely uncompetitive, and angle for a top draft pick. If Darnold keeps us afloat for a playoff spot leading up to his injury, we can scour the league and buy low on a semi-decent fill in (e.g. Minshew or Foles) and leave PJ as the backup.

its almost like yall don't listen to what people are saying. semi interesting? thats like the polar oppsoite of what people have said about his game. 

The people know whats up.

1 TD-5INTS last season.

Maybe he can play Safety.

It's a way of saying that Walker isn't very good. Hence, if Darnold were even worse, we're screwed.

im aware. i just know its based on emotion and status quo vs logic.

This. I just don't think PJ has the talent to be the answer, so why bother unless it's due to injury? Darnold does have the talent to be the answer. Give him the full season or as many games as his health allows to prove what he can do.

Now he has the talent. But just 5 months ago when he was still on the JETs thats not how most of you felt. I just think this sudden switch up is weird.

If PJ is better than Darnold we will get a top 3 pick next season.

Why do people say this? with an weapons on both sides of the ball, coaches who are good to decent. Games can and would be won. I get yall don't like PJ Walker but you still have to use logic.

Just now, Cdparr7 said:

PJ had a lot of accounts these days.

naw he just has his own fans base that goes back to the XFL and some people remember him from Temple.

I think as long as he's healthy then Sam Darnold is the qb all season.  If hes not the answer then I'm fairly sure they dont think the answer is on the roster.  So far our approach at qb feels a lot like Tepper and his making his fortune on hedge funds.   Their method to find a qb so far seems to take flyers on low risk potentially high reward shots.  If they dont pan out in their first season then they didnt give up that much and arent especially tied to them for more than a year or two and if they hit on one then they didnt give up much and have a good young qb.  The downfall being it can potentially basically mean they are almost throwing away seasons on an individual basis but they are also adding more and more pieces to surround the eventual qb of the future.  Hopefully its Darnold.

low risk high reward, which is pretty much PJ Walker and Will Grier identified. More so PJ. 

what yall need to understand is the NFL is very much status quo. The reason why coaches dont utilize the opportunity to use backups even when the backups are legit talented is because status quo. NFL status quo says you HAVE to draft a qb, if someone is a backup they HAVE to stay a backup. its old, its played out, but this league is very closed minded anyways. Look at carolina fans PJ Walker has clearly demonstrated starter abilities with a huge upside and potential but because he has the STIGMA of a backup most carolina fans don't even want to entertain the idea of PJ Walker starting. Its not fair, but i learned to accept it.

I'm not hating on Will, I just dislike the way people try to discredit PJ by trying to somehow say Will pulled the wrong straw....

What translates in practice carries over to the game, the proof is in the pudding.

Basically Darnold shouldn't have ne more problems with the 1s then PJ had with the 2s...

Here's the main difference....Will : I just ran what was called...

PJ: I dunno I was just having fun, I heard something on the headset, coach was yelling on the sidelines but I just KNEW I had to make a play, by getting it to my playmakers...

and there it is. PJ Walker is ready to start, im basing this on his play and the way he carries himself. just look at the press conference, out of all 3 PJ Walker sounds and looks ready.

PJ must have started making accounts on here.

He went 6/10 with two drops.

Walker went 10/21 with 2s on the O-Line and Marshall, Moore, and Tremble.

His touchdown was literally on accident. 
 

Calm down on the Will Grier hate, PJ,

dj moore was not out there.

and "accident or not" the play was made.

I don’t think PJ can make it as a starter but I hope you are right. That only benefits us. But if he can turn out to be a decently reliable backup, that’s still an important position and one we need. So I’ll be just fine with that.

161 yards in the first = 300 plus yards and a possible touchdown had pj walker finished the game. 

that is starter material, does he have problems that can be fixed? yeah.

Shoutout to PJ Walker i know some carolina panthers can be irrational but we rockin with you! #pjwalker2021. Oh yeah, Kenny Robinson also came from the XFL.

One more thing for yall to be mad about.

Can we all admit, PJ brings a different kinda spark to this offense and that becomes contagious on defense.

 

Can't wait to see how the one's vibe

At this point some carolina panther fans will never see it for pj walker and thats something i accept. its cool, we know whats up though.

The correct answer is as long as possible.

You're not evaluating Grier and Walker - you know exactly what they bring to the table.

Darnold and the #1s should be in as long as possible - that Oline needs extended snaps to gel.

Sam darnold is not some rookie. You know what you're getting with him as well. Not with grier or with walker, let the backups play.
