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.

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.

    • Glass houses and all. I find the people who are the most adamant about this type of thing tend to have the most to hide. Careful buddy. 
    • Also, wanted to point out, all 3 of the Pivot guys I respect and appreciate tremendously.  I know RC only had 1 pro bowl, but I loved his game.  He was tough as nails and played with a ton of heart and grit.  He was trying to knock people out, but was also super cerebral.  Fred is obviously a hall of famer and just as tough. Channing made the most of what he had and was hard-nosed as well.  And yet, all three of them let Steve slide on a ton of poo in this interview.  They actually cowered in several moments and I don’t like that at all.  Because for all the things I mentioned in my initial post in this thread, them not trying to reel him back in or hold his feet to the fire on certain bullshit, and feels gross.  Yall were all on the same competitive level as athletes, and yet, yall just let him skate on poo like talking about invoking using a gun on someone, laughing off how he essentially ended two teammates’ careers by BULLYING them and then co-signing it, and letting him completely sidestep accountability about his affair.  I get it, because apparently he invited you to his home to do the interview, but either talk some real poo or don’t do the interview at all.  This was some real softball poo.
    • This season’s leader, Daniel Jones, is averaging 265.9 yards per game, that would rank 12th in 2015. Even going back to 2020, he would rank 10th in passing yards. So it does appear that passing yards is down, but is that because they aren’t as good? Possibly, but we were spoilt in recent years when we had Brady, Peyton, Brees, Rodgers, Roethlisberger, Rivers, Ryan, Stafford (etc). As crops of QBs go, it was an amazing era to watch and most will end up in the Hall of Fame. I’m not convinced you we could list as many potential Hall of Fame QBs from the current crop. Will it go pass heavy again? I think there’s a good chance that it will, but it will require QBs that can consistently air the ball out in the frequency we saw in the 00s and 10s. I think currently coaches are favouring a more balanced approach, if not favouring a strong running game.
