I don’t see us really that much different now vs the start of last season on the QB front.   Just hope the outcome is better.   Which it likely should be.  

Darnold has his issues that need addressing, but one of them isn't being afraid to throw the ball downfield like "play it safe, even if it means losing the game" Teddy.

The Panthers haven't had an adequate backup QB for years now.  Perhaps someone rises to the occasion during the preseason competition.  

Bottom line:  Darnold may turn out to be a diamond in the ruff this year or the search will undoubtedly continue.

I think Sam makes substantially more plays downfield.  But he is going to have more negative plays too than Teddy. Just comes down to what the ratio looks like.

Yeah, Sam is going to be busy refining his skill set this season.  The trick will be teaching him to recognize the difference between a good opportunity and a bad decision.

yeah, and I am not opposed to calculated gambles.   I mean negative plays are a given if you do it.  It’s not always going to go your way.  But Teddy wouldn’t take them.  You have to take them in the NFL.

I'm an old Raiders fan (before the Panthers were a twinkle in their daddy's eye) and what made Ken Stabler a great QB was his ability to shake off interceptions like they never happened, turn around and burn a defense for a boatload of points.  The Raiders were seldom out of a game with that sort of attitude from their QB.

As you say, negative plays are a given, but you have to take chances in this game if you want to win.

      I really like the way this team is trending. Morgan and Canales rookie campaign saw them do some questionable picks but, they also did some really good things. Especially addressing the offensive line.  Young had such a disastrous rookie season where his confidence was nowhere to be seen.  You can attribute part of this to a terrible offensive line.  So, we focused on the O-line.   We then brought in several defensive free agents that were supposed to compliment Brown.  Once Brown went down those players could not hold the line.  2025 we focused on defense in Free Agency and brought in several good players.  We then added more talent in the draft.  I think we have competition in several areas where Vets are not guaranteed to be starters.  Our offensive line is pretty set with some good backups.  Our defensive line is going to be a war for who comes out to be the starters.  All in All, we are leaps and bounds much better than 2023 roster.  Canales made some rookie head coach mistakes but grew as the season progressed.  He got our QB, who was starting to look like a huge bust, playing with confidence and poise.  Now it appears Young is moving upwards.  Maybe he is a QB whisperer.  After Young started to play better our offense was fun to watch.  Morgan knows football and knows what he wants in his players.  It appears to me that not only are these players he's drafted really good and got great value for them, but they are also high motor, intense players. Our defense, in the past, was always the key to our success.  I think Morgan is building a great defense. I know it is too soon to tell but I believe we may have a tandem that will be around a long time.  It would be nice to see Morgan/Canales be in the same class as Lynch/Shanahan and Beane/McDermott.   I know many Huddlers will overreact, but I truly believe we have a tandem that will be around a long time. TIME WILL TELL. Go Panthers

      I am actually really excited about this kid. One thing that really jumped off watching his highlights was he almost is too fast or almost over pursues. You can get away with that stuff in college but the NFL these guys are stronger and more "slippery".  Little things that can be corrected but he seems to have a motor which is always a plus!
