Darnold Presser

[frankw]

There were some awkward questions in there trying to get him to speak poorly of the previous organization and the one about Teddy was such a big oof I about keeled over from the cringe.

Obviously he failed Speech 101.   

That's funny that you said that.  I couldn't help reflect to my time in college and speech 101. 

I kept thinking good god you know and um.

Seems like a nice guy but that doesn’t mean anything

He seems smart. And I liked his chemistry with the jets reporters and answers to their questions

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 

[CanePantherHornet]

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

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.

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.
