How much preseason time should Darnold play?

I think a quarter to a half each game.  I prefer a half, but after seeing how Rhule has handled TC and Fan Fest this year with an overabundance of caution, I doubt he gets anywhere close to that.

He needs live reps, and so does our OL.

I dont think the OL is as bad as many think they'll be...  if it means anything, I think this OL has a chance to be one of our best.

Man, everything I'm hearing about Darnold out of camp has severely dampened my excitement.

What did you hear and WHOM did you hear it from?

'Cause it sure as hell wasn't from the MAIN Sources 99% of us followed.... 🙄

Why? Everything out of camp has been excellent after he shook of the rust and pads went on

CanePantherHornet sounds like someone who stopped paying attention once he heard Sam was struggling that ONE practice and he's now using it as The Gospel.

It's pathetic.

The correct answer is as long as possible.

You're not evaluating Grier and Walker - you know exactly what they bring to the table.

Darnold and the #1s should be in as long as possible - that Oline needs extended snaps to gel.

A billion times THIS.

On the one hand, the more reps he gets, the better he should be in the new system and we really need that to be the case.

On the other hand, if he does get hurt, we're likely looking at a high draft pick for a QB or LT. It's another year lost but I'd rather him get hurt preseason than halfway through the year and end up at pick 8-15 where we just miss out on the elite level talent. 

And we miss an entire year of evaluating whether he can actually be the answer at QB. That would be a terrible scenario.

If he misses the entire year then I think the evaluation will be easy...find a new guy.

    • Looking like it might be game 7 for Pitt and Phi. Philly is spent. I like more rest for the canes 
    • Moton is the man through and through. 2 things I'll always give Gettleman credit for, 1 is drafting Moton, the other is building a SB contending roster and blowing it up in one off-season 
    • Kurb is still alive and well.  I’m still friends with him on all of the social media.  He truly is a great man!  That’s my bro!  He always looked out for me since the early days of the huddle.  It definitely makes me sad that he just quit posting here, but that’s life.  He still shares his takes on social media and X, but a lot of the huddle vets just grew tired of this format and the environment, I guess?  It’s a lot of guys that were valuable contributors here that just stopped posting but are still alive and passionate Panthers fans.  Blindsite used to post huge write-ups and was a well-respected poster and then just disappeared.  We had one of these type threads several years ago and he checked back in and explained he just lost the motivation to stay active here.  It was amazing hearing from him again…   I signed up in 04 after coming over from the Charlotte.com boards and been here ever since.  (For those that don’t know - this is Proudiddy - had to change the name very recently due to ‘ol tootsie roll penis and the bad press 😂).  I’m forever thankful for all of you, even those who I haven’t had the greatest history with, I still appreciate yall.  Many have come and gone, both figuratively and literally, and that has put a lot into perspective over the years.  I went from a young, newly married, wide-eyed twenty year-old guy with a baby on the way, to a now forty-two year-old guy, recently divorced and newly re-married guy with my oldest baby now an adult and 5 more kids since.  And what ride it has been!  You guys have been a much bigger part of my life than I really care to acknowledge.😂
