TBH, this looked bad.  Wasn't encouraged by Darnold at all.  He didnt look bad, but the fact we tried to run it twice down at the goalline with Chubba instead of trying to play fake and pass and then sat him tells me how they feel about Sam.

Or it tells you that they wanted to get a look at our short yardage running game against a quality opponent.

You really can read into this whatever the hell you want.

At the end of the day it's a preseason game used for evaluation. 37 of the guys that played tonight won't be here in 10 days time. Hell, maybe even 40 when other teams release better players.

The thread that was posted from quotes from the game stated just that.  They wanted to see us man up and get that one yard.

With the exception of our first series, it was a game of our reserves vs their reserves, with a lot of camp bodies thrown in. 

Their guys were better than our guys. Their guys committed almost no penalties. Our guys were still struggling with it.

Outside of that first pick, the most impactful player on our defense was Luvu, a guy who basically just got here this week.

From this, and the general timidity of our play calling (soft, soft, soft zone defense) our coaching looks like they are expecting their three opening opponents this season will be Campbell, UNC-Asheville and Dartmouth. Sure hope what they are showing right now isn't how they are prepping for the regular season. 

The sky isn't falling, but only a fool watches clouds gather and doesn't think there's a chance of rain.

Darnold played? I must’ve missed it. Mahomes has gotten 20x the playing time this preseason. Wonder why that is. When in nfl history has a coach gotten a new qb and not played him in the preseason. If danrold starts of slow we’ll all know why

As many said before pre season started.  There will be accurate reactions, but a lot more OVER REACTIONS to pre season football. 

The  Bucs and Seahawks both scored 3 points in their games.  No, that doesn't mean that we are currently is the same tier group with those two teams.  The coaches have to see the 30 plus players that will be cut , to see if any of them are salvageable . 

We may be as bad as some of you are suggesting. Darnold may be the worst NFL QB this season and many are,, I'll say it, as some of you are hoping.    Teddy went 9/11 ,105 yards ,, 1 TD in a pre season game.  Anyone really want him back ?  I mean he did real well in a pre season game. 
So use the same narratives in judging the Panthers pre season players as you do others.  You don't want Teddy back,  and are saying ,  "  it was preseason against their seconds or thirds " . 

We won't really know anything till Sept 12 th if this is all coming together.

I'm not happy Darnold only played 2 series...BOTH of which were from the kind of starting field position you can only dream of. 

Showed us literally nothing of him. Not sure what the game plan is for Preseason Game 3, but damn the man needs to play! 

WE NEED ANSWERS!

He played one series, like all the starters.

And you'll get your answers Weeks 1-17. Have a bit of patience.

Speaking of Teddy...

Klis is a longtime Denver beat writer and one of the best sources available for Broncos info.

All I can say is this could be fun to watch 😃

If he is good there, this place will melt down. 

I don't expect that to happen but it will be hilarious to watch the original Teddy fanboys chirp or the people who flip flopped now flip back.

I wouldn't be convinced if he had played half a game against the Colts and Ravens and tore it up. 

It's the fuging preseason. This poo does not matter until the reps are real. 

We will know what we have in Darnold by Week 8, perhaps earlier if it is really, really good or really, really bad.

Oh we got a look alright. Gave me vibes of that final drive against the Bucs in 2019 where we couldn't punch it in with CMC.

      Off Season Thread

      By MillionDollarCam · Posted

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
