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.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
