Jets rookie Zach Wilson compliments Sam Darnold, calls Panthers ‘a great team’

The Panthers kick off their regular season against the Jets in September. Together, these teams only won seven games last year, but there’s a lot of interesting storylines here. The NFL clearly thought so when they scheduled their Week 1 matchup.

Quarterbacks will dominate the discussion after both sides made seismic changes this offseason to the most important position on the field. New York traded their QB1 Sam Darnold to Carolina for three picks, then used their first-rounder on Zach Wilson, who should start right away. Asked about a showdown with the Jets’ former franchise QB, Wilson had nothing but nice things to say about both Darnold and the Panthers, per News12.

“I’ve talked to Sam before, he’s a great guy, but it’s not like I’m so pumped because it’s Sam. I’m excited because the Panthers are a great team, and it’s a great challenge for us. It has nothing to do with him. He’s a great player and he’s going to handle his own. It has nothing to do with the fact that he was here in New York, and now he’s there. I’m happy for him.”

Well, buttering up your opponents is certainly smarter than giving them bulletin board material. Credit Wilson for knowing that much.

Expectations for Wilson will be high after he was taken with the No. 2 overall pick in the draft. On film, Wilson has a ludicrous arm and moves as well as anyone can expect from a modern dual-threat QB. Adjusting to the speed of the pro game can be brutal even for top prospects, though. If Wilson needs any proof he can ask Darnold, who threw a pick-six on his first pass in the NFL.

As for the defense Wilson will be facing, the Panthers might have a potentially nasty pass rush led by Brian Burns and boosted by the acquisition of Haason Reddick. At middle linebacker, Denzel Perryman will be calling the shots – a superb upgrade over former starter Tahir Whitehead. Meanwhile, Jeremy Chinn will be roaming around all three levels. On the back end, the Panthers lost free safety Tre Boston but added a host of long cornerbacks who should radically improve their ability to play more man.

The Panthers 2021 NFL season will kick off with some high drama as the Jets travel to Bank of America Stadium to face  our new QB Sam Darnold  and our own Carolina Panthers in Week 1,barring something weird happening.

I am expecting Darnold to give it his best shot and show the Jets they made a huge mistake giving up on on him, instead of placing a cast of good players and coaches around him.

    • If I could pie more, I would. Fantastic 
    • Well bois, we gave the Devils their due! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... The jersey boys have been trying to jack our steeze for a few years now. They've followed our blueprints and studied our tape. Every offseason, they pounce on our sloppy seconds in a Newark minute. Quick with the puck, ferocious on the forecheck and stifling team defense. Down to the colors, this is this closest we'll come to having to play ourselves in Ole Stanley's Hockey Hoedown. As the postseason began, Rod stood flexing in the gym mirror and saw this guy staring back from the void... (Shutters) When beating us at our game didn't work, Timo and the Tri-State Trash tried to tango instead. Outside of a bitchass cheapshot on Freddie, that poo didn't work either. Their goon squad was getting wrecked by our bantam weights. As much as we all wanted to see Svechy or Staal Bunyan literally break someone in half after the Great Dane went down, they didnt need to. Our munchkins were monsters! Jarvis obliterating giants at the blue line, Logan laying the Stank on dudes twice his size and Blakers blasting Timo into next season. It was beautiful to see! (Side note: Does JBlo wear lead weights under his pads? 170lbs shouldn't be able to hit that hard!) We closed it out in 5, for the gentleman's sweep. Only team in the league to win a series in each of the past 7(?) seasons! And, this was supposed to be a rebuilding year... Onto the awards: Key To The Series : 6 for 19 - .316% IT FINALLY WORKED!!! MVP : 16/180 g/s - .911 save% - 2.53 gaa Seriously, without this dude, we would've won in 3! (Trust me bro) 3rd Star : 6/94 g/s - .936 save % - 1.59 gaa The Great Dane   2nd Star : 3 g - 5 a - +1 - 20:38 toi/g - 18 hits - 3 bs - 58.1% fo 3 PP goals and the 2OT series winning goal! WOOAAAHHH NELLY!!!!   And, your 1st Star of the series : 5 g - 1 a - +3 - 16:48 toi/g - 16 hits - 1 bs - 1 tk - 50% fo Zero, I repeat, zero penalty minutes for the series! MISSSTAAAHHH SVEEECHNIKOOOV!!!!!! Onto The Next: Now, we wait for the Habs to make it a nasty 7 game slog, while we recuperate. And, hopefully, get Nikishin, and some of the other black aces some real peactice time. We are gonna need those guys at some point. Because, if you think the Devils were dirty, hoooo boy, wait till you see what's next...
