How is this the same tried bs though? Or are you just talking about being critical of Rhule?

I just think it is an odd enough call to question Rhule on it.   He is very green so things are going to happen.   

Not thinking your 24 year old QB who is brand new and hasn’t been a very good QB to date….doesn’t need preseason game 1 or 2 is unusual enough to call out IMO. 

I mean, the case could be made Sam is once again not being out in the best position to succeed.  His QB room sucks.  His OL sucks.  And now we are holding him out of game simulation reps which isn’t the norm for someone like him.  I know I know….great weapons and Joe Brady.  Those are great things he hasn’t had.   But some of Sam’s issues have always been Sam.  

My take is that one or two series in a meaningless game is not worth getting upset about. The Colts and Panthers went at it pretty hard. I expect there to be some fight and penalties this Sunday. The offense hasn't been fully installed and the starters just practiced for 4 hours against the Colts. So I don't see the problem in waiting until week 2. We may or not have a worthwhile backup which we need to find. So both guys will get plenty of action against a good team and we need to nail down our backup wide receivers.  Other than the disappointment of not seeing him play, what is the big deal? No argument I have heard to start him is very convincing so far..

I don’t think there really is one. It’s all the staff’s preference and not too relevant until game 3 when they are getting in sync fir the regular season. We still don’t even know who our starters are on the offensive line yet…. I think us fans are just trying to find something to discuss this early in preseason.

But there are compelling reasons to get PJ and Will work to see what they can do. And to see guys like CJ in action to determine if he is the real deal. Frankly I am glad the starters are sitting. I haven't heard or seen much of the starters let alone the backups.

We aren’t winning the Super Bowl this year so let’s keep working on developing our team with our coach who is known for turning teams around in a short period of time.

That's why I'm not too concerned with the record this year, history says he doesn't have a winning season until about the 3rd year, but that was College..... COLLEGE FOOTBALL VS NFL...

Yep the 3rd year has been his sweet spot. The players seem to be buying in to the culture. Some progression this year would definitely go a long way. Fair point about college vs NFL.

Stafford isn’t playing with his new team in preseason game 1. Who does McVay think he is?!?!

Rams are a win now playoff team that added a strong veteran QB to hopefully put them over the top. 

we are a 5 win team trying to rehab a young bust QB

these two things are not the same. 

overall NFL coaches are repping guys like Sam Darnold.    Rhule is against the grain here.  That is what it is.   You can be cool with Rhule not doing what experienced NFL coaches are doing.  Maybe he is smarter than them.  But it remains something fair to point out.

Are you mad at other teams that sat out their QB1?

 

Are you just mad because Rhule does things differently?

 

Or are you mad because Sam will miss a handful of snaps. In a meaningless Pre Season game?

 

You are willing to risk injury. In a week 1 Pre Season game. And I think it's fair to call you out on that.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By Leeroy Jenkins Ph.D. · Posted

      The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
