Carolina Panthers.... Odds be damned — they look like more than a 7.5-win team (*we think)

Care to explain? Because IMO, Sam has room to grow. And Teddy is what he is.

Just like last year everything is probably going to boil down to the QB position. I like Sam and hope he develops but I would not put money on him after last season. 

 

Maybe it's just years of the Panthers conditioning me to have low expectations though.

Sam has talent. Yet NY did absolutely nothing to develop that talent.

 

Whereas here, he is getting all the Coaching this staff can muster.  And it is working. He has taken off the last few weeks. If he can transfer TC to the field? We gon be good Offensively.

Nothing here that no one else has already said... but it is a difficult bet this year.

It all comes down to Darnold. If he plays to his potential and limits his mistakes we could win 11 games. If he is terrible we might only win 4.

I would be more willing to put some money down next year when we know what Sam can do with his second chance.

 

That's why it's called gambling. If you knew the outcome, there is no gamble. So yeah,  always go with B. lol

He's in year 4. He not only needs to grow, but he needs to move from being the consensus worst starter the last 3 years to being top 3rd.

That's a large gamble. If he's just middle of the road he's no better than Teddy.

With all the angst in that post, I feel you've backed me into a corner. But, here goes.

 

He is talented, he is getting coaching, he has weapons. There is every reason to believe he is going to improve. If he plays well, we should have a really good year. He doesn't have to be a top QB for us. Just be good enough.

 

There is no gamble. If, Zod forbid, he stinks it up. All it cost us was a 2nd rounder, and 1 year of a rebuild.

There is no gamble in whether Sam Darnold will be a good QB? 

🤣 🤣 🤣

      Nic Scourton- PFF Highest Rated Rookie (Week 5)

      By Icege · Posted

      I wish I could gaslight myself into believing the same, but Eric Eager wasn't even mentioned until two posts before mine here on page five after the initial pivot to complain about Bryce on page one. Considering the views some of those involved have shared regarding PFF + Dan's involvement on Fitterer's team and... well... Regardless of all of that, Nic Scourton looked really good against the Dolphins. He was setting the edge well and even looked decent in coverage when required to drop back. He was destroying the right side of the Dolphins' OL and even got the best of the LT on several occasions. Seeing what Nic's doing on the field is likely what Evero was hoping DJJ could develop into when they took him. The team also isn't using him as much on special teams (hasn't logged a punt team snap since week 2 but is still part of the FG blocking unit). Completely different players and playstyles, but Scourton's motor and ability to remain constant while opposing OL start to gas out in the late game reminds me a lot of Charles Johnson.

      Shaq Thompson’s house

      I say he's a run of the mill starter. You say he has had a decent career. We're saying the same thing. I never had any issues with Shaq. My issues were with the Panthers in that one, we drafted a player in the 1st round at a position of our greatest strength when there were options available that would've provided us with more initial help. You make a move like that because you think a guy is special, that he's by far and away the best talent available. Two, after he had proven to be good but not great (basically a run of the mill starter) on the field, we turn around and pay him like he's a future HOFer. These aren't issues with Shaq. They're issues with the organization.

      😆If you're not elite or a potential HOFER, then LG calls you "run-of-the-mill" or "meh." Shaq has had a decent career---better than many longtime starters, but not everyone is built to be worthy of the Hall Of Fame.
