I love how the Panthers are handling Darnold.  No pressure to come in and be the savior.  Just surround him with talent.  Give him a great rushing attack.  Lots of good WR & TE as targets.  Provide the support that the Jets never did.  

I do have some concerns about the OL since it's a work in progress.  But last year, even with all the OL problems, Carolina was fairly average:  18th in sacks given up, tied at 19th for rushing yards per carry.   And I'd like to think the OL has improved somewhat since then.  

So I hope Darnold will come in this season and play relaxed.  The kid is talented, there's no doubt.   It's just great to see an organization help a player to achieve his best.

Yep! I totally agree and  think that makes perfect sense. He has the talent, he's young enough that I don't believe he's been ruined. Carolina is the perfect place for him and I'm personally expecting this to be looked upon as one of our franchises best decisions.

Well definitely but no one can really do that. The good news is Bradys system gives him plenty of confidence building options. Rehabing Darnald is all about film study and confidence. Can't be seeing ghosts out there.

How I wish he had come into the NFL to exactly this situation.  I really feel this front office and the coaches get it, not only for Sam, but for all the players on your roster.  
 

Even the city, culture itself is a blessing.  Not all of us grow up in an L.A. loving culture, particularly our laid back beach towns.  It’s up to your QB now, you’ve set him up for successful new start.

I'm for giving Sam a chance to show what he's capable of doing when surrounded with other talented players. 

Most of us realize Teddy wasn't comfortable taking chances and that resulted in a record of 0-8 when we had an opportunity to win in the closing minutes.

Sam can make all the throws and hasn't been shy about taking chances and/or improvising on the fly.  For sure, Darnold needs to be more consistent, but if our coaching staff can help him make better reads/decisions we could finally have our franchise QB.

Just now, CanadianCat said:

Its called optimism. 

IF Sam works out, this is a HUGE win for us. 

There is nothing wrong with that but fans being optimistic is different from the front office. If they keep building him up like this and he has struggles adjusting the media and fans will be even harsher on him. They want him to approach this like he's a rookie again but that's not the way life works. See Teddy Bridgewater who had his own share of optimism around him this time last year.

      FLA showed everyone it’s not about superstars. they bullied the best line in the NHL into obscurity. they played hard, were in the right positions, and ran over everything that got in their way.

      That’s really not what you said and when I even expressed doubt as to your intentions with the post you doubled down and remained unclear on whether you were trying to drag Dean Smith for whatever reason. You just got the facts wrong, which if you don’t follow the local college programs like you say then maybe you just were mistaken and thought Smith didn’t win championships or have legit superstars, and that is ok, but you just doubled down when my first post was more corrective than anything. I’m not sure what you expect posting objectively false things like “RBA has a lot of wins with nothing to show for it like Dean Smith” (paraphrasing) on a message board with plenty of UNC fans. I’m not taking it as a personal affront, we can agree to disagree, Dean Smith’s legacy fortunately will not be affected by this conversation. Screw the (Florida) Panthers?

      Bring in the free agents and trades.  Florida is the best team and unless Tulsky makes it happen, it’s more of the same…which isn’t bad…but it’s time to win a goddamn cup.
