Of course he means it but Christian isn't the one who will be reading defenses. Hearing about leadership is good but what we all wait to see is the decision making when things are live practice is just that.

So you're taking the "cautiously optimistic" point of view, right?

Should be easier having a coaching staff that creates a gameplan around how you play rather than constantly trying to force a square peg into a round hole. 

Should also be easier having a better core of players, including the best RB in the game there with you.

Or it could be that he actually means it and that they are familiar with each other because they were working out together while Sam was a jet.

They also hung out together for college media days, and although you can’t call Stanford and USC “rivals”, there is that connection and respect between the two private schools and their players.  The only time I’ve seen PAC12 players helping an opponent on the other team up off the field.

For comparison... Below is what CMC said about Teddy prior to the 2020 season...

McCaffrey spoke with Jonathan M. Alexander of the Charlotte Observer about all things Panthers heading into the 2020 NFL season, including the arrival of quarterback Teddy Bridgewater, saying:   

"I love Teddy. I'm extremely excited to work with him. Obviously he's had success in the past and what he did last year. But also just being able to get to know him this offseason, seeing the way he approaches the game, seeing the way he goes about his business, it's exciting and I'm really excited to share the backfield with him."

It is almost like the Panthers are a for-profit business trying to sell a product to consumers.  Weird.

Overall considering the moves we have made yes. But this is the time of year where optimism is the highest we haven't even had a full camp yet.

I'm with you. Don't forget that offensive line though. That's arguably a bigger question than Darnold because we have struggled to build a consistent line for the last decade.

Agreed. I think our OL still needs some help, but I think we're way ahead of what he had in NY/NJ. That line was baaaaaad.

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      By Green-Ghost · Posted

      One thing to remember is the armchair quarterback rule. It is fun to speculate, but, keep in mind. We did not have this knowledge back then. I think this depends upon how you bench young.  Does he get benched but continue to learn and develop under a veteran quarterback or does he get benched with the decision to cut him next season? My thought on any new quarterback is to have him play behind a veteran quarterback for the first season.  If you play the rookie quarterback immediately, it would be like throwing the non-swimmer into the swimming pool to see if he/she will sink or swim. in this case, I actually think it was a blessing to play young through the whole season. Here is why:  I am personally concerned about young’s physical ability.  Size,  etc.  If the physical ability is a problem, it’s best to find out now rather than during the second season. Having young play through this entire first season also allowed young to become experienced. Obviously he is not a bad quarterback yet, but he is no longer a rookie quarterback and he now has experience.   I think the real question here is how long do you play young this season before you drop him altogether? By the way, I have a different opinion regarding Tepper throwing water on a fan.  How do we know if the fan was possibly cheering an injury?  What I heard was a fan was cheering an injury to a Panther player.  I am not saying that what Tepper did is acceptable but I am saying it was understandable.  It is human nature, the person who retaliates always gets noticed and suffers the consequences.

      Well, we all need to use our brains too...not just our eyes.  Our eyes tell us that Bryce was objectively bad last year.  Our brains are what allow us the critical thinking to deduce why Bryce was bad, which is the crux of the disagreement.  Perhaps Bryce just doesn't have the tools to be a starting QB in this league and this season will confirm that for us.  But you seem to not even be able to fathom or acknowledge the possibility that Bryce's poor play (i.e. bad footwork, bad downfield accuracy, bad decision-making, etc.) could in large part be a product of abysmal circumstances including poor coaching, poor playcalling, poor pass protection, and a poor receiving corps.  You call them "excuses", which they are, but how can you not understand that those can very well be inextricably linked?  It's like getting punched in the stomach repeatedly during karaoke night and then people complaining that your singing was off pitch.  Are you actually a good singer?  I don't know, that performance really sucked but I'm willing to give you one more song under better conditions.
