if you show up at BOA thinking you are going to see the starting units this weekend.....I would think you might be disappointed.

Thread title IMO is a tad misleading based on what Matt Rhule actually said. 

Honestly, I'm just thrilled we, as fans, get to show up at BoA at all. They could put the third string out there, I wouldn't care or be disappointed. It'll just be great being back inside the stadium.

Your introductory post here...

We get it, you're a Darnold fan. That's fine. All I'm saying is slow your roll trying to tell Panthers fans how to be Panthers fans while you bounce around the league following your favorite college QB.

Please show me where I tell Panthers fans how to be Panthers fans.  

That is an utter load of BS and you know it.

(and I'm not bouncing anywhere)

You taunt and heckle anyone who isn't trying to prep Darnold's bust for Canton. Right now, he's a very different type of "bust". We hope he can resurrect his career here, but good grief man.

BULLSH-T.  😡

 

If anything, you taunt and heckle ME for just being here.  Jesus Christ, man....

How about this?    Don't respond to me anymore.

How's that?

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.

I'm pulling for him but have a sinking feeling that Sam is gonna get completely railed...

This seems more than fair. Most fans WANT to see him succeed like you stated because he is currently our QB. We just have some Sam Darnold fanboys that flip out over any criticism over a QB who was just traded away from the Jets…

Yeah, I think most reasonable people think of this experiment as at least a bit of a longshot to pay off. It would have been nice to have invested enough into a quality offensive line to at least fix some of the problems he had in NY. But, alas, here we are.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
