I didn't write this article or share this article to troll those that are fans of Sam and/or optimistic of what he can do for this organization this year and beyond. Its a good read and was just a little too long for me to paste into here.

Below are the two topics the post goes over:

-Sam Darnold’s  style of ball may doom Carolina Panthers

-Sam Darnold’s typical style doesn’t translate to long-term success

-Can Sam Darnold fix his flaws to shine in Carolina?

oh and one more thing from the article :

 

"There’s no question Darnold has a higher ceiling and the better ability to make big plays downfield than his Panthers predecessor, Teddy Bridgewater. Having said that, Bridgewater played smart enough to keep Carolina in almost every game last season, as eight of the team’s 11 losses were by one possession."

 

So Matt Fitzgerald is a Teddy B apologist.     That DQ's this article of ANY credibility, imo.

Its a poorly written regurgitation of  the same old  "Darnold throws interceptions"..."Darnold makes boneheaded decisions" crap.

I should save a link to all these, because though his stats were bad, from what I've seen, they should have been much worse.

To be fair to Teddy he never lost us games.... he just never won them either.. 

You know I feel bad for Teddy.  I think he was always meant to be bridge for us between Cam and whoever came next.  He did about what everyone expected and the team did better than expected keeping us close with good teams.  If he closed the deal on any of those, or didn't fall apart at the end of the season... especially that last game, he might still be here.

Exactly.   People here forget that it's Teddy' inability to TAKE CHANCES or SHOTS down the field that ultimately doomed his future here.   Had he been more aggressive, perhaps the 0-8 would've been 3-5 or 4-4 or something....and there wouldn't have been a need to go out and trade for Sam Darnold.

I agree he was a high upside low downside QB. I think the biggest reason people arer upset are for 2 things that are not his fault. 

1. He was the QB following Cam. 

2. He got paid more than what people felt he should have. 

 

The team threw a dart on him and it didn't work. Its the same situation we are in this year with Darnold. Taking flyers on high upside QB's is always worth it.

Reposting these articles to start conversations and debates and such... not to bitch about the author that can't even see your message to improve his writing. Not the best article. But something to post. 

Excuse me but when you put up an article by some person on a site I never heard of(might as well be some random blog), and I see once again the same crap typed up that we see here, forgive me if I don't call it like I see it.

 

And my goal is not to have the author see it.

My goal is to give my opinion on said article and the article creator.

 

Sorry if you don't like that (but actually....no, I'm not).

Lol I didn't quote in it for this exact reason. Wasn't aimed at you. Just a general post. You are heard and understood. Enjoy your day sir. Keep Pounding!

He just has to prove “his game” wins the games that are on the line....he has the weapons now, doesn’t have to take those boneheaded desperation shots to WRs that are not capable of going up and bringing in contested shot.

His flaws are free game right now, till, or if, he can turn his performance from that nightmare franchise he was previously with.

That is pretty much the reason that a portion of us are down on him in general. He didn't show much improvement from college to the NFL, nor did he during his time in the NFL. Eventually, that becomes the player and not the place.

Those doubts are very valid.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
