What will a week 1 loss to the Jets do to Darnold?

Im pretty high on Darnold but it seems like the 'rebuild' of Sam is getting his confidence back. I would expect we beat the Jets but am concerned that if Sam plays the Jets (even though they are a different team now) and loses that it might set him back even further. 

What do you think? If we happen to lose to the Jets will that impact Darnold or will that have no effect?

I think the better question is what will fans think and say after the win.  

I'm not worried about Sam. He won't be the reason this team drops a game against the Jets, should that laughable crap your entertaining, happens.

He should be well used to criticism by now. If he can't handle the heat we have bigger problems. Losing to the Jets would not be the end of the world. But after weeks of fans and media trashing that organization as incompetent and incapable it would be embarrassing for Carolina. The season opener is a must win and a much needed morale boost.

Do you think the same holds true for the Jets org and fans? Do they see a win as necessary to validate giving up on and trading Sam? Probably not to the degree that the Panthers do but I would imagine there will be a vocal "SEE!!! I TOLD YOU WE SHOULD HAVE KEPT SAM!!!" contingency if they lose.

I don't know about Darnold, but this place will be fun.  The shtposters will be in heaven.

The 2020 Jets beat 2 winning teams who went deep in the playoffs last year.  We didn't beat a single winning team.

The jets have all new coaches, practically a brand new OL, new receivers and more help on D.   We will not be playing the 2020 jets, we will be playing the 2021 jets, so we can not sleep on them.

All that said, I want Darnold to light them up with +300 yards and plenty of deep balls to Robby.  We should win this game.

They do.  Jets fans argue about it in a bunch threads, including an 18 pager on the front jetnation.  

It matters to them for evaluating the choice to drop Sam and get wilson.  We were both bottom tier in the league and they had a harder schedule so this is considered a winnable game to them.  Also the worse we do, the better value in the picks we gave them.  Plus its a chance to watch all of their new toys in action.

They have something to prove.

Can you imagine their fan base if Darnold lights them up, ho boy!

(Can you imagine ours if Darnold throws no TDs and a few picks?!?)

There will surely be some overreactions from one or both fan bases.

Well they don't have much else to hang their hats on so I can't much blame them. For Carolina stepping out of the basement means beating up on bad teams like they should. I expect our defense to give Zach Wilson a very unpleasant welcome to the nfl.

I think the fanbase and media will make a bigger deal about it than it actually is. 

If we lose to the Jets then I'd be more upset at the defense honestly. No reason a team with no weapons, a rookie QB and a patchwork line should beat us. 

In theory, sure. But we don’t know how we lost this theoretical game. What if the offense shits the bed or special teams? Or what if the Jets are somehow actually good now?

But, yeah, I don't doubt it will impact Darnold to take that L. But, if that loss breaks him, we were probably gonna be fuged anyway.

      I can say that I have defended Canales because I get that they are doing all they can to keep from looking like idiots for drafting Bryce, from the trade up to signing $150m guards to drafting XL and Brooks etc---nothing seems to work.  And Hiring Canales was part of the Bryce Young rehab program, so so he can't really decide to "move on."  That has to come from Morgan and Tepper. Personally, I think Bryce is due for an injury.  He is small, he is not thick, and he has been a LOT more healthy than most any other QB has who has endured so much pressure.  The thing that bothers me is this---Bryce really does not go through his progressions quickly.  He locks on to his presnap read and stays locked onto him for too long--he seems to fail to anticipate the WR/TE's positioning on the play before the cut--for example, if the WR is running a dig and the CB has his back to the inside of the field, he should be open for a second or less just after the cut.  He seems to wait until the cut has been made before deciding, then checking down quickly while moving in the pocket. OL:  There seems to be a lack of communication--is that on Mays?  Watch this team presnap--they seem a bit confused at times.   I can almost predict the success rate of the play by watching the center and QB before the snap.

      Anyone else remember back in 2010 when Fox piloted having music under the in-game replays during one of Carolina's games? Not the commercial bumpers but the actual replay clips that the announcers would talk over. Pretty sure it was vs the 49ers. And it was terrible. Point being, Carolina continues being so bad that we get the networks trying things out during their games.

      Is it bad I found this video more hilarious than pathetic? I am still laughing at that one play where half the people on the field ran into each other and Bryce still couldn't see Chuba wide open... Also laughing at Cade blocking nobody and somehow losing his cleat Man this offense is a poo show
