I definitely understand the need to protect your starting QB but this "criteria" for him to start is more than a little weird. 

It's either lack of confidence in our offensive backups or Darnold. Neither of those situations is good news, although either is understandable.

his presser is up on Panther social media.  Hard to listen to it and think you are going to get a look at Sam IMO this week.   Reporter followed up on the criteria and he specially mentioned that being who he would throw to after they brought up Erving.   And playing Moore and Robby doesn’t make sense with them nursing those type issues.   

but I think we see Horn and some fringe starters.  Wouldn’t  be surprised if he puts the healthy part of the D out there for a series vs would should be a mild group of Ravens.

I hope Burns in a sling is something that they will use to keep him out of the game and not an actual injury.

The receivers available obviously aren't the concern. It's the line.

It's a self inflicted dilemma though. If you knew Sam was going to need this level of care you don't hinge your season on Cam Erving and you definitely don't keep toiling around with the oline in late August. The team has exacerbated an existing issue.

      At this point its Sadiq or bust... A

      By micnificent28 · Posted

      Personally I think he's a nightmare to cover I think linebackers generally aren't fast enough to keep up with him in coverage and cornerbacks don't have the strength to tackle him one-on-one in physically bring them down which would normally lead to a broken tackle or a nasty stiff arm or just bully ball play sure you could find a receiver with comparable speed like Cooper but he's faster than Cooper sure you can find a wide receiver that is the same size but he's probably More powerful than them and a better blocker.  The size speed athleticism package that he is in is completely unique it's easier to say I'd rather have just a big blocker because we've never seen this type of profile before I'm a risk taker I think you would be God blessed if this was there at 19 I think if you can get a guy that's a tight end who immediately becomes the fastest guy on your offense and at the same time that third wide receiver that can stretch and burn defenses over the top that's the perfect what the Panthers need type weapon.

      I think you're under selling Sadiq. They are two different players in terms of how they win. Loveland is 2 inches taller maybe 5-6 pounds heavier. Comparing his speed to sadiq.. well your comparing a 4.7 guy to a 4.3 guy I'm seeing a guy that can take a bubble screen from the tight end position and turn it into a house call. I'm not saying the guy is a certified home run pick but I don't think there's really a president's for a comparison for this kind of athlete. It's easy to say this doesn't look like Warren or Loveland because we haven't seen guys that fit this profile The closest you might be able to get is Vernon Davis.  He's not as sure far as those guys were but at 19 I think almost everybody is going to have some warts and he's a lottery ticket of could be top 10 in the draft player or could fail I am more of a risk taker I think he fits the athletic profile that could be a homerun, like I said he's almost 40 lb bigger than Cooper and like 4-5 in taller than Cooper so and he's faster. So whatever you think Cooper gives you I think he does that and more. If you want to go with one of the office alignment I can understand that as well but for value as a receiving threat I don't think there's a bigger value at number 19.
