It was either draft or Sam or the farm for Watson before everyone found out about the skeletons in his closet. But yes Rhule and Fitterer were plenty happy to acquire Sam unless you think they are just liars. But if you want to really get down to it the qb Rhule and Brady chose first was Teddy they talked about him effusively to the press about that process and how he was exactly what they were looking for so

Give me a break with this lame tough guy act. If they didn't want him they wouldn't have traded for him you make it sound like they begrudgingly accepted him. They made the move for him now they have to deal with it and fix this mess.

So? He didn't want to play in Carolina. We had no shot at him anyway get over it.

He had a very bad game and he has to play much better the next several weeks if he wants to remain the starter here. Accept it and stop trying to deflect. Even the guy who followed him over here from the Jets is more open about his faults than you who would rather make excuses.

It's 1st down. Ian Thomas was open low. Even if Robby comes back toward the ball there are THREE defenders all around him. That was a terrible decision by the qb.

You know Sam had an all time bad day when the best retort from some involves Cam Newton. Any other time the mention of his name here is met with hostility. It goes back to an old problem with this fanbase that is some people are perfectly fine losing depending on who is involved.

Rhule and Joe made their choices. They wanted Teddy they got him. They chose Sam they got him. How neither of them saw the potential struggles of our oline around the corner knowing we have a reclamation project behind center is not a good look. I'm over the next Sean Payton thing. We don't need to be the Taints we need to be the Carolina Panthers again and impose our will instead of folding on 4th and 2 at home.

You're literally the guy who calls people jackazz on the regular have a seat.

With three defenders in the area. He made some bad decisions with the football that will lose teams games that's all there is to it. Now it's up to him Joe B and Matt Rhule to figure it out. The line is what it's going to be for the next 12 games and that is not good and it's on our gm Scott Fitterer.

Those two haven't often been in sync for some time now. Just gave him that new extension figure it out. Rhule picked Joe Brady address issues with your staff. This shouldn't still be going on we had a decent opportunity for a get right game at home and instead we melted trying to sit on a two point lead.

The offense squandered so many drives including golden opportunities from the defense at critical times in the game. It doesn't really matter what he says in a presser but he needs to get a handle on this heading into our matchup with the Vikings. If this skid continues things could get rocky in the locker room.

Still can't force that into double coverage from your own end zone. Joe and Sam need to be connected at the hip this week.

The oline has gotten him beat up but he has had opportunities on some long throws and he could not capitalize. When was the last time we had a successful deep pass other than the one to Robby against the Jets? The main reason Sam Darnold was supposed to be an upgrade over the last quarterback was his arm talent. Is it Joe? Is it Sam? Are the qb and receivers not on the same page? Whatever the reason it has to change.

They have Patrick Peterson. He's got to be licking his chops watching film this week. I've been hard on Sam and idk what the future holds but I will say boy wonder Joe Brady needs to call a good game this week and help out both his quarterback and his line or this could get ugly quick.

That's been the tale of Elflein's career so far. Out with an injury. You can want him on the field all you want but it's unlikely he will buck that trend here it may just be who he is.

Oof you guys continually trying to drag Cam into this are telling on yourselves. Mans is long gone welcome to two years ago. Our starter now is losing us games. Will you join us in 2021 and assess the state of the most important position for the Carolina Panthers? Throwing the same bad picks he did in New York? These things matter and odds aren't great he is going to magically morph into an elite quarterback.

I'm trying to make sense of your stance knowing we have seven winning seasons in 25 years and I'm reminded this is the same lot that loved them some Kyle Allen so I guess this is just par for the course. Hey ya'll we're just happy to be here.

So which Vikings DB is going to have a career day courtesy of Sam Darnold?

Did someone else throw that game ending interception?

Many variables led to the loss no doubt. But what stands out the most for a team such as ours who is desperate to be a contender and relevant again is Carolina opting to punt before the half on 4th and 2 and watching the Eagles go down the field and kick a fg. In our house. That was some sir purr poo let's just be honest.

Nobody has been trying to compare Sam to elite quarterbacks these are responses to the original post that mentioned Mahomes. Rn I don't see any valid comparisons other than previous draft busts bc as much as some folks here want Sam to be a literal rookie he is not. He is now in his fourth year throwing the same bad picks he always has. Joe Brady isn't doing him favors though and I think we have to look at a different option after the season no matter what happens with Sam. I'm pretty much over the college offense crap we need some real NFL experience in here.

You are correct he could not but they still got to the biggest game in football on the biggest stage and we just lost to a one win team. Sam was running for his life but there were still plays to be made the Eagles were not a good football team we let them hang around for 3 full quarters they put the win up on a platter for us. Right now there are two hurdles to overcome oline and bad Sam Darnold. Either or both will be our downfall if Sam can't stop turning the ball over.

Situational awareness seems to be lacking big time in our playcalls and that is a carry over from last year despite the qb change. I don't think this is going to get any better this season it's a Joe Brady issue.

Look man I get you're trying to rally the troops so to speak but this is malarkey and you know it. Mahomes has intangibles our qb is distinctly lacking rn like timing rhythm and the ability to connect deep with his receivers. Even when Sam has time he is misfiring we have no deep passing game to speak of and that is also a reason why defenses are teeing off on him. Yes we all agree about the oline I've been banging the table over it for weeks despite homers here trying to explain to us why it is actually good. But the line is not the only thing that separates us from a quality offense Sam Darnold has got to play much better and get on the same page we have given him weapons.
