Yep his whole career encapsulated in his first preseason game.

That got a solid laugh out of me.

The Fields fan boys are going to be riding higher than Willie Nelson. 

I will take the same approach I did last year with Track in college. I won't get too up or too down. This was a good start but hopefully he can get time with the first team in preseason so we can see him with real talent around him going against other real talent.

Justin Fields is going to do some good things and bad things and y'all need to come to terms with all of them lol. It sounds exhausting to not just cheer for your damn team and constantly look at what ifs. Criticism is one thing but good lord

I have never seen a guy get so wide open that he could jog backwards into the end zone

OSU ran this play, the opposite direction, against Clemson in their playoff game last year. Rucker was super wide open as well. I think its because typically you don't teach a QB to roll one way and throw back the other.

Anyone else seeing this? Looks like a kid out there, throwing off his back foot recklessly, just fumbled a snap and then fumbled while scrambling.

Not impressed at all, may have dodged a bullet.

Why are you ripping on the Panthers QB?  Its like you're not even a fan.

Are you sure this isn't an overly dramatic post? I mean 5 years. C'mon man

Yes 5 years. If we’re lucky. 
 

2 years trying to win with Darnold.

Another 3 years hoping to draft a rookie as good as Fields and going through his growing pains. 
 

Thats only if we nail the pick. Was just a dumb decision by a staff that’s probably in over their heads.

I dunno about 5+ years but you take franchise type qbs when they fall into your lap. I think we still will have an opportunity. But it’s not looking good. 
 

rhules mentality of Darnold+ Horn vs a qb draft pick is the type of mentality that can get you fired in the nfl. Love Horn and think he’s gonna be a baller but you gotta take the qb that has the ability to transform your franchise. Hope Darnold works out.

No matter how good you think Horn is you take the QB everytime. You can one day win a Super Bowl with Fields. Only way you’re winning anything meaningful with Darnold is if he’s your backup. Darnold is a guy who would be a top tier back up, but he’s not a starter.

Side note, but when Cam scored that rushing touchdown in his preseason game versus the Bengals I felt like we really made the right choice. I think Fields is going to be fine. 

[CRA]

OP really nailed that one.  Fields settled in after opening nerves and had an impressive day considering it was his first NFL action.

1 year, maybe just half this year trying to win with Darnold...but have no fear...

And after trading for the number 1 draft pick in 2022, the Carolina Panthers select Malik Willis QB Liberty

 

 

You know to make up for that HUGE mistake last year...

Ok overreaction on both sides. Preseason game one against backups should definitely be taken with a grain of salt. Started off rough, but looked good later. Time will tell for him and Darnold (and it should be much sooner for Darnold).

Lmaooooo...boy this thread went south real quick. Fields looked great after first 2 series.

One is probably going to be Howell or Rattler because of Liberty’s competition. IF Darnold looks like old Darnold, I would love to get Willis especially if we can do it without having to give away a ton of assets.

He’s more than likely not. I’m a panther fan so the fan in me is hopeful that a qb friendly system and working with better coaches can turn on a switch for him. It’s just very unlikely. 
 

And I won’t give concrete predictions like we can one day win a super bowl if we drafted fields. But I do like the odds more with fields then Darnold. Or fields at the very least being a better and more consistent qb long term. 
 

the quarterback is the most important position in the nfl for long term success in the salary cap era and the best chance to consistently get to the super bowl. History shows this. So I really dislike rhules mentality of 2 > 1. This is the nfl not college. Not finding a franchise qb will get rhule fired. He has two more years after this one for me before I want him gone.
