So the receivers had a bad day. What's the quarterbacks job? Lead your group and get your offense in sync. But you can't build any continuity from the bench. This is the best overall receiving corps we have seen in years as far as pure potential. This isn't Legedu Nannee or Philly Brown or Brenton Bersin or Kaelin Clay. You can't praise them and talk them up when it's convenient and then throw them under several buses when it's time to protect your guys confidence because his completion percentage doesn't paint a rosy picture. Sam is inevitably going to have some bumps along the way but you have to let him get through that if he is to restore his career here. The clock is ticking.

Yeah... None of that made any sense 😕

Reading into this way too much. When players make plays they get praised. When they aren't making plays, they'll be held accountable.  Today in practice the WR's weren't making plays, so that's that. This illusion of them coddling Sam makes no sense. If he doesn't perform this year, he won't be our starting QB in 2022. It's not that deep.

Are you saying a true leader takes the blame???

Did Cam ever blame his WRs?

I donno, that's why I ask.

The receivers are the least of our worries. DJ is a stud and will soon be extended. We know what Anderson can do and Marshall has lots of potential. Then you have Shi Smith too. Any young quarterback would be thrilled with that. If Steve Smith Sr is even publicly saying Sam needs to be out there getting game reps I'll take his word for it.

And this...somehow proves that they didn't have a bad day today? 🤔

I don't recall Newton ever blaming his receivers. Even when he got hurt in that game where Kelvin Benjamin gave up on the play. That's just how he was. We'll see how Sam does things when the games are actually played. But he has to get on the field first.

They did who is arguing otherwise? So for you where do we go from here? When Sam was tossing a pick six in camp I was told it's just camp but now folks want to argue for pages about drops. Be consistent 🤷‍♂️

You were suggesting that Rhule was protecting Darnold by pointing a finger at the receivers and throwing them under the bus.

That's been proven wrong, and frankly it was a stupid take to begin with.

Rhule has publicly criticized the receivers twice before this. I have seen no criticism or talk of Sam Darold needing to improve if anything I have read he is the least of our problems as if he has already earned a pass. We'll see how this plays out in another month. When the real games are played someone has to take the blame if things don't go according to plan which looking at the Panthers history is bound to happen at some point. This is a tough division. We'll talk about it in September.

We had him last year. The Pats could've just sent us a 6th for Teddy instead of spending #15 on Jones.

There was word the Pats wanted Bridgewater before he signed with us. And his skill set certainly would have fit their system.

Of course with that said, his skill set fit our system too 😕

      i love people with no medical experience making tenuous assumptions based on, uh, the fact his dad sucked in every practical lab in med school and had to go into psychiatry its fun to think of what these same fans would be saying with any other profession "well his dad was a cardiologist so obviously he knows how to stay calm." "well his dad was a neurologist so oviously he keeps his brain waves at a low level and isn't at risk of seizure, which is good (obviously)." "well his dad is a surgeon so he knows how to overcome his lack of confidence over height." "well his dad was a pediatrician so that's why he looks like a child, but kids don't get injured easily and have limitless potential so-"

      CMC makes the cover of Madden

      Oh it’s made the decision easier knowing we were years away from competing. He just obviously didn’t think it was some sort of clown show as he took a job with that staff and still hangs around to help. Injuries were the major concern. Willis retired “early” as well, plus there was another very young LB in SF that did. Positions that take a lot of impact are starting to not push themselves too late in their careers to protect their long term health.

      Obviously his health was the reason but the state of the team definitely helped. Luke doesn't strike me as someone who cares about individual accomplishments much at all. He loved the game and he wanted to win with the Panthers.  He wouldn't risk his life to go chase a ring elsewhere. It was difficult for him to step away from a team that was bad, if the Panthers were serious contenders I really think he would have tried to see it through.  Everything worked out the way that it was meant to in the end. It was sad seeing his career cut short but if he had a suffered a serious injury from football I can't even imagine. EDIT: To be clear I don't think the medical staff was part of his decision at all. It just helped that the team was far from winning a SB when he bowed out.
