Carolina All Day... Clearly there's something in the air against PJ, who's a member of the Carolina Panthers...I mean so many threads concerned with the backup QB, why, because it shows the lack of faith in Sam Darnold...once again passing on Fields, and now releasing Will, let's me know how much faith it is they have in PJ vs. how much they in Sam Darnold...like @CRA has stated they're not bringing in any QB, and it's because they don't want any real competition for Sam Darnold.

Darnold is a bargain chip...he was meant for insurance always...a decent backup..or trade bait should a certain QB legal problems disappear...had it been Fields,Darnold,PJ...there would be no Horn...and PJ possesses the same skill set as Fields so the understanding if Darnold sucks, homerun with PJ... Phillip went undrafted...off and on the colts...PJ is a baller from the XFL...who knows what it takes to fight to get where you are...

 

So as a Panthers fan 🙏 for 6

 

PJ and Fields aren’t really comparable. I believe PJs pro day 40 is closer to Darnold than it is to Fields. Fields faced more pressure than any other QB this preseason on his drop backs (49% of his drop backs were under pressure) and he didn’t shrink to a miserable 41% completions. 

 

 It’s not against PJ only. The year before it was against Grier. When you play like trash you should be cut or the position should be upgraded. If Sam goes down, our season is over. 

Pray for 14 to stay healthy and develop. We need to upgrade at backup QB. Grier would be minimally better than PJ anyway. Neither one of them are winning us games. They can only hope to not be the cause we lose,  it they won’t ever be why we win. 

Panther fans don’t root and hope for the starter to go down just so the backup can get reps and prove he’s not starting material.

Except during the Clausen season.  You might even have to include the Weinke season as well.

Your premise is theoretically correct but there are always outliers.

Gotta believe the chances of PJ getting picked up off waivers would have been less than Will's.

If Rhule hoped to keep both backup QBs, his bias for his former college players may have betrayed him this time.

If true he will learn soon enough.

Will got a 2% chance.  PJ got a 1% chance.  Whatever it actually is, I almost think any conversation that involves  PJ/Grier is splitting hairs.   

What we needed to of done is not go all in on Sam Darnold.   Darnold is the underlying reason everyone is so passionate about this pointless debate.    If we were going this route, we should of brought in two guys IMO.  So you bring in Darnold and Mitch T.  Or Darnold and Menshew.   Let them compete.  Increase your odds.

Hence....THE QB CONTROVERSY of 2021....we are now left with no choice but PJ

 

...you kno, in case, Sam Darnold doesn't pan out

Yeah, seeing how little Darnold and Menshew cost to pickup by their respective teams, there is a good argument to be made for creating a more competitive situation in Carolina.

Though isn't that what Denver has been attempting to do for years now?

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
