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.

      I’m expecting a breakout season from Ja'tavion Sanders

      By Car123 · Posted

      Not many are talking about this player. He played well as a rookie last year. If he refines his blocking, continues studying film, and keeps working hard, I can see him being the next Greg Olsen. I’m expecting 55 catches, 700 yards, 4 TDs this season.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.
