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.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By OldhamA · Posted

      I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.

      From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"

      Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
