All I know is, DJ must've impregnated one of the EA Dev's wives at some point, bc they hate his guts

It’s the strangest paradox I’ve come across in my fandom.  
DJ looks like he’s paying bills, balancing his checkbook and organizing his sock drawer when in reality he just caught a slant over the middle broke two tackles and floated 65 yards into the end zone.

Anybody else does that, they make headlines.  DJ does it and folks are asleep before he crosses the goal line.

It the craziest thing I’ve encountered as a Panthers fan.

Well put.😂  I have been noticing that same phenomenon for quite awhile as well, and despite all of the stats he has put up and the names he is alongside or surpassed in doing so (like last year's stat about him having the most yards over the last 2 years only behind Hopkins, or the most contested catches, etc.), the rest of the NFL fans don't even acknowledge him.  And this has all been with mediocre QB play (and for the record, Cam was never mediocre, just injured those last couple of seasons.  Referring mostly to Kyle and Teddy).

Now to the elephant in the room, what did I think of Sam Darnold?

20210806_205449.thumb.jpg.172089e0822009aed793adca2d7fed56.jpg

I was happy with his performance and feel much better about the upcoming season after watching him tonight. He has everything you want in a QB, size, arm talent, mobility, and its incredibly obvious when you see him out there spinning it. Grier and Walker just don't even look like they're in the same league as Sam. Another thing I liked was his energy, he just looked like a leader out there, messing around with teammates, playing it up to the crowd. I just liked everything I saw, in 1v1's his touch, velocity and deep accuracy were excellent and after some of the doom and gloom of the first week of camp I am completely happy with him as our QB right now. Obviously this could change once real bullets start flying but I'm telling you, he has all the tools, if the coaches and offensive line can help him succeed, I have no trouble believing he could have a solid season and turn into a top 15 starting QB.

 

 

 

But but but.....

Wow. What were they thinking? Those are the worst seats possible. You're going to spend the entire game watching from the TVs because you're not gonna be able to see poo unless the action is on the goal line in front of you.

 

 

I agree those seats won't be good and it looks to me like they want to give things a bit of an NBA courtside type feel. If they really wanted to do that, they should have put them on the 50 yard line instead. But if you have the money and only care about being seen, I suppose the seats will serve their purpose.

You know during each thread on practices since preseason started there has been one noticable statement that I see.

Darnold drops a dime to *****.  You can insert whatever receivers name you want.  It seems he's really throwing good passes.   I know there have been some bad throws here and there but for the most part it seems Dime is the preferred term. 

I'm excited to see how he does in live action.

 

Wouldn't it be sweet irony if he ended up being the most accurate passer in franchise history?

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      By MHS831 · Posted

      If we don't go OT, we will regret it.  What bothers me?  Are we going to get a starting-caliber OT at 19?  I think the draft is solid at OT, and the more I read up and watch video, the more I watch Lomu, the more I want him.   I see Freeling as a RT who needs some work in run blocking (since we need to run first, maybe not a good fit) and I see Proctor ending up as a Guard.  After Lomu (assuming Mouigia and fanu are gone), I think we wait until round 2.  In round 2, there are about 3-4 I like (Zuhn--good pass blocker and VERY underrated right now; Tiernan is a very good pass blocker as is Miller from Clemson, but both are not good in the run game.  Max Ixxxxx from Ariz St is impressive too---technically, there is not a of difference in these second tier guys--good in pass pro, need work in the run game.   If we wait until round 2 for an OT, we probably need to sign Nijman and start him early.   I almost think this is what we should do if Lomu is gone.  There is a big dropoff after him, imo, and I think we'd get better value if a stud ILB or edge is there.  Someone like TJ Parker Clemson makes sense. If Lomu is gone, trading back might be the play.

      I understand that some people want WR. I am solidly against using yet another high pick there. Coker is pretty good and we used No picks on him.  What I think we really need at WR is a little bit of a Smitty lite. It is ridiculous to say let’s get a Smitty because you just can’t do that, but someone not tall and long striding but more in his mold. I think we’d have a pretty well rounded group.    Looking at tackle, with replacing Moton looming, it just seems like the no brainer.  You fill in Icky short term. Depending on how he recovers, and how the new guy plays, you go from there. A tackle at 19 is most likely either a LOT, a ROT, or a big talented guard, at worst. We will need all three in the next couple of years.  I would love to have a stud ILB be there at 19 but the OL is the responsible thing to do I believe.
