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.

      Jim Caldwell out

      By strato · Posted

      I may be way off base, let’s include this in that questions thread, but with the way the offensive staff turned on each other in 2023 I am happy to see anyone involved, gone. I had a bad feeling about Caldwell over it.

      Rasheed Walker for Kris Jenkins Jr.

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      No poo tho you might could Jenkins for Legette. They got nothing at WR after the big 2 in Cincy. I don’t think you trade away OL depth. Could get a quality player in cuts. Really that 3-4 end spot what you should be looking for is someone who is stout with long arms and can push back the OL in both the run and pass game for others to make plays…. But we signed Wharton, sometimes I think Evero is a fraud ass nerd who should be an analyst at best.

      you would honestly probably do Monroe Freeling more of a disservice by putting him in a position where is not yet ready to succeed. .we all knew Monroe Freeling struggled at the NFL combine in drills because of technique related issues & would need time to develop  & now all of a sudden before they even put the pads on Monroe Freeling is somehow a starting LT in the NFL ? if he struggled at the NFL scouting combine what do you actually think is going to happen in a live NFL game at LT ? .even our best LT of all time was not ready to start at LT when he was a rookie & he turned out to be a pretty good darn LT by the name of Jordan Gross ...just saying be patient Young Jedis
