Another good Darnold pass.

Welp, Terrace is taking his job, quickly.😂

Also, as a guy who was vocal about my lack of belief in Darnold, these passes have definitely increased my confidence in him by leaps and bounds.  I know it's practice, but again, we didn't see any throws this deep or accurate all of last season.  It's refreshing, and encouraging.

Darnold will be as good as the OL---we know he can put the ball where it needs to be when it needs to be there.  And he, unlike Teddy, does not refer to deep passes as "Par threes." Just needs time.  So watch Christensen's development--I think it could be key. 

If Horn becomes the shut down corner he can be, and Marshall becomes a star (LSU WRs do well in the NFL), and Darnold becomes the #3 overall pick talent he is, Fitterer gets my vote for GM of the year.

What comes after "Contributor?"  I am blazing a path to glory.

I think folks around here are just stoked to have a young QB here with a good arm.  Its been a while...

It's only been since Cam left. That really wasn't that long ago. It only feels like a million years because we have sucked so much since then.

Remember when we had threads sarcastically predicting that the anti-Darnold folks would dramatically overreact to incomplete passes?

Notice how the exact opposite of that is happening?

We have graduated from mindlessly debating mock seasons and articles ranking teams and draft picks down to the long snapper before anyone even stepped on the practice field. 

Shallow speculation to over reacting in Panther land only means on thing. The season is upon us. I’ll take it.

    • This.  He knows where the seam is about to open, cuts, and accelerates hard. He’s slippery and tacklers always seem to be taking awkward angles to get to him. No dancing. Runs low and powerful. Almost never goes backwards for a loss. We’ve rarely had the guy who bounces off of tacklers. It’s nice seeing another one. 
    • I can't speak for others but yes I read it. The conclusions are based heavily around the use of the statistical metric DYAR created by football outsiders and used by ESPN for this article. It only includes players whose production began in 2000. But excluding HOF running backs who produced BIG in an iteration of the NFL that was not yet catered to making things much easier for offenses in order for them to prop up more recent candidates is rather absurd and seems like just playing favorites regardless of where one might fall on their opinion of the use of the metric in question. 
    • Same thing I first thought but then I saw it was against Jacksonville and took about half a second of playing to know. I was at that game.  I can't tell you my level of excitement when I saw it was Delhomme instead of Peete who came out for the 2nd half. Delhomme has and will probably always be my favorite Panther.
