Assuming he plays the full year

339/530, 64% CMP%

4216 yards

24 TD and 14 INT

I think he'll have a lot of yards relative to his TDs, as I expect to see CMC get less touches but a lot of them probably coming in important situations like on 3rd down and near the goalline as well as a YPC increase.

A season like that would give me more confidence in Sam than I have now but wouldn't be enough to convince me he's our franchise guy. Same with my numbers below.

 

 

I'll predict:

4350 yards

30 TDs, 17 INT

62% completion, 7.5 yards per attempt

11-6 team record

 

 

Our weapons and Joe Brady's scheming easily gets him this yardage, Teddy had 3733 yards in just 15 games last year. TDs may be a bit ambitious but I think it's doable. OL brings his completion % lower and INT higher than we want, as he'll continue to make poor decisions at times when under heavy pressure. Encouraging season but, again, not enough to be convinced he's the guy.

Then again, his job is not to convince *you* or any one of us that he's the guy.   He's supposed to convince Rhule, Brady, and Tepper that he's the guy.

And if they think he is while you don't, your viewpoint won't matter in the end.

 

Btw, 11-6 is a Guaranteed Playoff Berth, imo.

How would you feel about our future with Sam Darnold going into next season?

 

To me, that's not good enough.  I'd want to see something closer to 30-34 TD's, 15 INTs max.  The only way for that stat line to be ok is if we rack up TD's on the ground.  Basically something similar to what the Titans do.  Focus on the run but the QB can bail out the team out when needed, just as long as it's not asked of him often.  If that makes sense.

I think for me it’s good enough compared to where he was and a 65% completion percentage a 98 rating means he is very effective. Yes I assume we will run the ball a lot in the red zone.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      I would say that seems like an odd comment from Morgan, but at the same time it's almost impossible to find a college QB declaring for the draft to have less physical ability than BY so you can assume almost anyone you bring in would be your go to QB sneak/designed run guy.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.
