Preseason or not, who gets the game ball from Friday?

[Carl Spackler]

May as well do one from Friday...

I was close to picking Terrace.  He has quietly lead all receivers in preseason. He and Horn look like day-1 pros.

Terrace gets every preseason game ball!

Darnold didn't look like a world beater but he did look like a capable starting QB.

The last 3 throws he made were as good as I've seen a Panthers QB make in a long time.

If the offensive line does their job, Darnold won't have to play hero ball. The weapons he has here are legit, and we can win if he can out the ball accurately and on time in their hands.

Love the fact that he seemed to have chemistry with all 3 of Robby, DJ, and TMJ

Want to know who? Our red headed step child from the Saints, that's who.

In literally a single minute of a preseason game his offense allowed Sam to look better than I ever saw him look in New York for a string of plays in crunch time. Sam got to play within the offense and execute the play call; in New York he was constantly forced to improvise and that was his highlight reel.

Even if it was one half in a preseason game, Sam Darnold looks like a first round pick AND he is less than two years older than Justin Fields (whom everyone hob knobs). Based on timing, you would think that he was four years older than Trevor Lawrence but guess what, he's only two years and four months older than Lawrence.

This is a massive advantage for us should it work out as if Darnold were a first round pick just last season.

I haven't been this excited about a Panthers team since probably 2013.

I think you meant knob hobs...but, Yeah.  Me, too.

There will be much excitement here on the 12th, after we gob-smack the Jets.

I thought he was leading the entire NFL at one point?

I left it ambiguous b/c I didn’t want to look it up. I know he leads the team.

TMJ gets every game ball of the preseason

Preseason games are also extremely hard to find stats for from my experience.

I'm giving it to darnold so I don't risk hurting his confidence.
