I think every QB the Panthers have ever had were painful to watch in one way or another. I don’t think Darnold was any less. He’s 23, becoming an adult will help.

Agreed.  

Among the long time starters, Steve Beuerlein, Rodney Peete and Jake were tolerable to decent public speakers.  All the rest of our starters would've benefitted greatly from joining Toastmasters.

Yeah while U nerds were polishing your Public speaking skills in the mirror Darnold was throwing lasers  
 

Also every athlete does this in some form. Hockey players are the worst 

What a silly take.

Going to be a long season. Half this board has already written this kid off.

I don't care if he is a great public speaker. I just want the kid to throw TDs and win games!

Marshawn Lynch gave the best Q&A’s of all time. Y’all need to chill the F out with this public speaking bullshit. Who gives a fug

Delhomme was great. Beuerlein and Peete were good. Everybody else? Oy.

But as others have said, they're not hired to do PR. As long as they can perform on the field, I don't care if they look like awkward sixth graders in front of a mic.

And half this boards opinion would amount to zero in the grand scheme of things. Critical people are going to do what they do best and that is bitch, piss and moan until they find a new target to criticize.

I see a lot of fans get their heart set on one player, and then when we don't get that player they basically throw a tantrum and say everybody and everything sucks.

The reality is there's not just one answer to a given question.

Personally I think its refreshing to have a QB who is not going to stir the pot.

The fug this mean?

True. 

While Darnold certainly wasn't hired for his Q&A prowess, he should have enough money squirreled away by now to afford a public speaking coach.  If I were Tepper, I'd hire one for him ASAP.  Shouldn't take too much effort to clean up his verbal pauses and it would make his press conferences a lot less painful to endure.

He's 23 years old and plays in a league where grown men pound each other into soil for amusement. Is it really that big of a deal?

[1usctrojan]

He was clearly uncomfortable, more than usual.  Some of those questions asked were brutal.

I’ve seen him much more comfortable interviewed by of the L.A. press. Surprising.

Teddy was known to twilight as a stewmaster for the toasmaster classes.  So he never participated but stirred the pot behind the qs counter.
