Oh we got a look alright. Gave me vibes of that final drive against the Bucs in 2019 where we couldn't punch it in with CMC.

Youth on an at the time affordable contract was the correct path Hurney just did what he always did and made the worst choice out of the available options.

There should have been a real concerted effort to create competition at camp with a veteran quarterback. This spiel about Sam not having to look over his shoulder is just another excuse. None of these qb's have earned anything at this level yet.

Gano is irrelevant. All the Panthers had to do is keep Butker but they blew it.

The offseason fluff about Slye's physique looks so ridiculous now. All that matters is can he make a kick when it counts. With Sam and the way the team is handling things it's so comical I'm beginning to wonder if we're just being trolled. This talk about preseason not meaning anything is for teams that have actually had recent success. Are the Carolina Panthers a good enough football team rn that it doesn't matter? Back to back 5 win seasons tells you none of this means anything? There are some things to like but there are things that continue to haunt the team until proven otherwise.

Carolina has had redzone issues over the years that spilled into the regular season even with a running threat like Newton. To think this won't translate at all is naive. They can and will get better but our run blocking needs to be fixed first. And ffs stop signing these bums to protect your investment!

Darnold Grier PJ either way Carolina is still allergic to the end zone.

He should have had competition in camp there's really no excuse knowing what we already knew.

Redzone offense seems like it will forever be a work in progress. Need to build your quarterbacks confidence there.

Source?

Well at the time the Jags had no incentive to move Minshew before they had drafted Lawrence. But man what a sad state of affairs we find ourselves in now huh? I can't even imagine being so enamored with the likes of Trubisky or Darnold enough to get triggered and poop this post. We really need a franchise quarterback up in here

Drew Brees missed 9 games between 2019 and 2020 and the Saints still had 24 wins and won the south twice. I hope they suck ass and fall to the bottom of the division but it is not as likely as some want it to be.

The way ya'll post gifs of that as a gotcha tool really makes me wonder about how some of you operate like you're almost glad it happened. This is a bizarre fanbase sometimes I swear.

I want to see Cam keep going and solidify his case for Canton but I wish nothing but misery on the Patriots fanbase. fug them.

The man has to work his way into a preseason game first!

We just traded Little for a conditional 7th. I wouldn't give a foot long sandwich for a left tackle in the same category. Might as well just look to roster cuts if we are in need.

Probably a few but that's not new. Cam Newton had people who disliked him so much and wanted to be right about him being a bust they saw a silver lining in losing because it made him look bad. Sam will create plenty of fans if he gives them something to cheer for and makes this offense respectable again.

The Carolina Panthers have had two long term quarterbacks in 25 years. Folks being apprehensive about Darnold isn't surprising but you need to know the history to gain an understanding. One year isn't enough.

You weren't even a Panthers fan a year ago this time chill

As far as criticism of mgmt that's a bit of a slippery slope. If you want content slanted toward unanimous praise you may as well stick with the official Panthers social media pages.

It's a social media thing. Newton started his career here ten years ago and some people still like to get their digs in on him. There's even a recent thread from yesterday as an example of that. I agree he should move on though Teddy was only here one season any lingering animosity is just unhealthy. Some people take their affinity or dislike for one particular athlete to an extreme many of us as fans are guilty of it. Sports get too personal sometimes but fan is short for fanatic so it probably won't ever change.

What's the beef? Which player?

It's a self inflicted dilemma though. If you knew Sam was going to need this level of care you don't hinge your season on Cam Erving and you definitely don't keep toiling around with the oline in late August. The team has exacerbated an existing issue.

True. Whatever the future holds for the upcoming season it's probably safe to say though Erving isn't going to be the answer. For all my concerns I am emphatic about that the most. We need to decide who the LT is going to be like asap. It's becoming comical at this point.
