We didn't get into the end zone through the air what else would I mean? That can't continue no matter where you want to lay blame. If we do that against the Cards or Bills we're talking another blowout. Even the Patriots. Maybe the benching did help and I have given Sam credit for bouncing back but considering how horrific that game was that maybe isn't saying much. At this point Sam has a ton to prove just to show he can or should be the starter next year. We are in a very tough spot we can't get too caught up in becoming attached to one qb. Windows in the nfl open and close quickly. We have to learn from the 2021 offseason we made a poor effort to shore up our qb room we can no longer settle for the PJ Walkers or Will Griers of the nfl we need a competent starter and a real nfl quality backup.

I was disappointed DJ didn't haul that in but we have struggled in the redzone all year. You chalk it up to a false assumption that our weapons "suck" but anyone with a hint of common sense and history with the team knows these same weapons had us in almost every game last year with even a qb like Bridgewater and the same coordinator. So with that in mind what do you think is the issue besides the blanket "they suck" statement? There are no issues with Sam's processing? His timing with the receivers? We know the oline isn't what it could or should be and Brady has gotten plenty of flack but even with time in the pocket Sam has thrown some of the worst picks I've seen since the QB carousel days of Panthers fandom. What were your thoughts on the Giants game?

You are letting your emotion get the best of you. The simple truth is we won against a bad Falcons team and didn't throw the ball into the end zone once. Do you think that's a sustainable formula for winning?

You perceive blind loyalty at all times as the only way to be a fan that's your opinion. I've seen ten years of this fanbase trashing Ron and Cam and everyone in between relentlessly so again this is nothing new if you can't handle it that's on you.

Nobody is arguing in favor of that contract rn but the offensive situation as a whole is not remotely ideal either so we'll just have to see if he can redeem himself.

CMC Barkley and now Henry all hobbled and injured in their mid twenties. Gurley is washed up at 27. At some point you guys have to open your eyes.

The Eagles dropped 44 points yesterday we haven't even hit 30 yet. We barely won against the Falcons with zero passing td's and Darnold fans still won't acknowledge reality.

Oh wow. If the comical number of rushing attempts didn't confirm it for the folks still trying to deny reality this should do it.

Cam isn't coming back here but there is definitely some inconsistency in the folks who talk about people "hating" Darnold and some of these takes about Newton full of vitriol.

Whoever put that video together also made one about Josh Allen being the most overrated qb in the nfl and a "false mvp" whatever that means. If you are aligning yourself with unhinged fools like that you definitely aren't helping any kind of argument you are trying to make here.

Why were we running him so much though? Even with the sneaks too. Do you honestly think it had nothing at all to do with the struggles of our passing game the week before against the Giants that Sam directly contributed to?

This guy gets it. Too bad we made no real effort in acquiring a legitimate backup. We had absolutely no competition at qb in camp this year and nobody should get a pass for it.

I notice it when I'm watching the games but I'm more interested in seeing the basketball go through the hoop. If has no effect on the outcome the shoes could be any color just bring back the W.

Robby has deserved the criticism he has gotten for the many drops but he is a tough player despite his size and he was an elite receiver at one point last season. Whether it's him Sam or the playcalling we have to find his rhythm again. He can still be an asset for this team.

I told you to follow Teddy if you are so keen on defending him months after he's been gone there is a difference. Do you see me still crowing about Kyle Allen Taylor Heinicke or Will Grier?

Quote the post where I've told a Panthers fan to go root for another team. I'll wait.

The Hornets city jerseys are

Bummer for Henry he's a hell of a player. Over half the stadiums in the league use turf now. It doesn't look like that will be changing anytime soon.

I was referring to his new contract but yeah they got an excellent return on their draft value there. Unreal that Bradberry was our only successful pick that year.

Which is more likely. Two 1k yard receivers from last season suddenly forgot how to football or the bust qb who has struggled throughout his nfl career is still struggling and in turn hindering the passing offense? 47 rushing attempts including 8 from the qb tells you what you need to know.

People are looking for who to blame in this instance when they should be focused on the why. The Falcons made it a point to dole out some punishment. They watch film and our upcoming opponents will be seeing the same things. Regardless of how you feel about these so called hospital balls if we continue to make throws like this there will be defenders who have seen these plays on film lurking. Coincidentally the Cons did the same thing to Sam in the run game. Remember that Sam Newton thread? Well Atlanta sure did. All of this stuff is on game tape. You can be sure our next opponent the Patriots will be very much aware of this stuff.

Derrick Henry may be out for the season now. Investing big in rbs is looking more and more dicey in the nfl these days.

PJ ain't it but these folks who are throwing themselves in front of all Darnold criticism turning around and trashing Walker for fun aren't being consistent. One guy is a qb we signed off the street for peanuts the other we gave up 3 picks for and picked up his 18 million dollar option. That 2nd guy had zero touchdowns yesterday. How many games left on this schedule do ya'll really see us leaving with a win when our qb has a goose egg in the touchdown column?

It's a breath of fresh air for the moment but I am reminded of our assumptions on the oline after weeks 1 and 2 compared to weeks 4 through 7 when we all realized what reality was. I need to see a few more games like this minimum before I have confidence in this. We only get to play the Falcons once more this season.

Mahomes has 18 passing touchdowns on the season. Our offense couldn't muster one of those against a bottom defense in the Falcons. Look this whole optimism vs pessimism thing overtaking the Panthers fanbase isn't anything new sports can be a rough ride and Sam is by no means the first Panthers qb to get criticism. Delhomme is one of two long term starting qb's in our 26 year history and he got a ton of grief. But this stuff with comparing Sam to Mahomes will get you laughed right off other teams forums. We won because we ran the ball a ton and even then it was still close. There is much room for improvement and if we want a chance at either the Cards or Bills we will need a better passing offense it isn't being negative to say so it's realism.
