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.

      Why trading up in 2026 is a bad idea.

      By Basbear · Posted

      It puts more pressure on being right, I always feel trading back is the move 97/100 times. There are times where you fall in love and if that guy is only 7 spots away and the cost is only a 6th or pick swap......why not?? so long the cost is low, Im more willing to do so.  Still one of the best teams at trading back and they torn apart the Panthers on those trades; Pats. You still have to pick the players, that's what happens. In theory you should also add picks, but it does get to point of eight 3rd rounders or two late 1st and a 2nd?? I mean every draft is different, so the talent maybe not fall off a cliff after pick 50. Case by case deal, but vastly I prefer to trade back.....another curve if you trade back and the scouts/coaches have not planned for it. You have to be ready and know the spot you are trading too (everyone). Just like trading out of 1st round two weeks before the draft, that hurts your team as they have been focused on pick 10 and now its wait until pick 42....

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Basbear · Posted

      IDK, just I know these mock drafts are time "wasters" and even more before FA cause that does change a huge portion of the needs. I think Panthers are in on Lloyd, but just like Milton Williams if the numbers get too high they will change course and still sign one of the lesser ILB. I've also seen reports Panthers want boom back as well, but as STer/backup.   Personally Ive put Wallance in the Ickey, Brooks zone....... Acting like he's not on the team and if he shows out during OTAs, mini, and TC GREEEAT!!! I feel Panthers need to sign at least one and draft 1-2....hell even add another Bam-like UDFA in the UD pool too. Trade is on the table, there have been many trades than past years......   Given the team history, the LB corp is saddest ever. Still the league isnt paying ILB and Panthers finally got with that trend. I do feel Evero wants a IBL that can blitz and everyone wants one able to pass cover.  I feel no matter what, Panthers will draft one in the mid rounds and add a couple in the UDFA class.
