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

 

Nothing.  Sam doesn't live or die according to whether he beats the Jets or not.

Does he want to beat them?  I'm sure he does.

But it's not life or death like it is for some panthers fans here it seems.

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. 

Exactly.  

Sam doesn't play Cornerback, Free or Strong Safety, or Linebacker.

Darnold will just move on to preparing for the next team, so business as usual.

The Panthers fan base will freak out because we have a more talented roster than the Jets, so we essentially under performed. Many fans will take it as sign that we're not as good as they were hoping.

Bottom line, if we lose to the Jets then Darnold likely pooped the bed. Not really a big deal as his fate will be decided by this season, not one game.

Darnold could play well and we still lose.  Now if he throws a couple of picks and fails to move the team then he might warm up his seat some.

Win or lose, I believe it will take more than one game for him to really get his confidence at a good level. 

I think our defense is going to be tough to score against so Darnold doesn't have to be a superstar.  Take what is given to him and let all his playmakers make the plays.

The Bolded is correct.

 

I think the Defense is going to be the Key here.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
