I see what you did there, lol.  Seriously, we have several Brits and Aussies’ on our message boards, they’re very knowledgeable.  
They even understand the whole college loyalty, history and tradition thing.  We hosted an Aussie who traveled to the US to see a game and experience a tailgate.
 

Fun guys, just as passionate as our craziest of the craziest. 

I’ll be coming over one day myself to experience the lot

He’s haunted by ghosts now. I hate to say it, but he won’t overcome that. I’m starting to think this staff has no idea what a good QB is.  As much as I feel Cam is done this team would have won the same amount of games with Cam as they did with Teddy. 

[Kentucky Panther]

Just my opinion but I feel like many more of us feel better about Sam than Teddy. Other than Igo and a few others, most of us agreed signing Teddy was a horrible move. I think in this case the majority are excited to see what Sam can bring. Myself included. There’s absolutely no reason to not give him a chance based on what happened with the Jets.

Aussie punters are sought after by CFB programs.  Our Aussie Trojan,  the one we hosted, also visited LSU on game day, they have a punter from Australia as well.

This is our guy:

You have a whole network out here.  As well as attending a Panthers game, you should also experience a few college games.....there is a lot more pageantry in CFB, most stadiums are on campus or within a short walking distance, everyone competes for the best tailgate.

If you do decide to visit, and want to see what a college game day experience is like, pm me.

I don’t like the school narrative for QB failure or success. You need to evaluate each QB on their merits and traits. But I’m not anointing Fields a franchise QB

The issue is that it is hard to evaluate a qb in a system where all qb’s look great.  I’m not saying he won’t be great...just that the situation would make me very nervous.

so much about being a great nfl can’t be evaluated during a pro day...you have to see it in film.  When an offense doesn’t ask a qb to do those things, it is very hard.

Post-saltiness over trading for Darnold, I'm not feeling as bad as I once was. I like the potential of him turning around with a new start here, but I'm not quite excited yet. I just need to see it on the field, and I hope all of this disappointment goes away on my end.

Fingers crossed he proves me wrong.

I think the fact that Fitterer managed to recoup most of the draft picks (aside from next year's 2nd rounders) the Panthers gave up for Sam, is probably what is cushioning the blow for you.

We all are brother.  At least the team as a whole will be better if we are looking again next season.

As well as you will see when he sucks. Could be just as likely.
