Yeah, that could end up addition by subtraction. Dude showed up way overweight and still looked way overweight and predictably slow. Now he might have a significant injury. Not looking good for his long-term NFL prospects.

I recall reading that he had to lose a lot of weight for the combine…..his mother is a caterer (Southern food), and she fed him well.  Hope he doesn’t eat himself out of the league.  Like a lot of us mamas, we love to feed our babies, “food is love” isn’t always a good thing.

They're in for a long rebuild and I think anything short of a franchise carrying sort talent was a waste of that pick.  He looked like Sam with some flashes of higher potential and I expect him to have a similar fate there.

Poor kid, his talent is impressive….love his toughness.  That oline couldn’t even snap the ball when Sam was there, hopefully he doesn’t suffer the same fate.

I wish him well.

Former Panthers great DT Kris Jenkins did it. He'd always show up to camp fat and work his way into shape. The older he got the harder that got to pull off (I can sympathize). Eventually the knees could no longer bear the load.

Charles Woodson said one of the keys to his longevity was someone giving him the advice to try to show up to every camp 1 pound lighter than the last.

Honestly, this same statement could probably fairly be said about KB too.

We all saw him looking like Queen Latifah at camp.

Silver Platter Sam was "abused" for 3 straight seasons...

...yet it appears he is 100% certain to "recover"...??

I daresay one game is no certainty.  Sam needs to show everyone an entire season of consistent, quality play.  He's got three seasons of "potential bust" smeared all over him, one game doesn't wipe that away.

Look at the size difference between the two (there's a pic of them at midfield after the game). Darnold is a tank. Wilson can't physically take the beating Darnold did.

      Before Shadeur Sanders there was Ryan Mallet

      By Waldo · Posted

      He was always the guy who didn't care about practice or being prepared. That works when you are a freak athlete and aren't in a position that has to do those things. What made Dion work as an athlete is what makes him a terrible agent. Yeah he has always been a pooshow. His kids probably think it's normal but Shaduer just paid the price big time. Started the video and it's already Dion bonkers lol

      This is also why in a way, I don't want T-Mac to get to 1,000 yards, because I think it means XL or Coker took a step back. While maybe that would be good for T-Mac's growth, I have absolutely zero, in fact, less than zero concern about T-Mac becoming THAT guy for us and being a Top 10 WR every year with legit Top 5 potential. And even though I have faith that XL and Coker can be that 2/3 combo next to T-Mac in the future, I have far more concern in the two of them getting there than T-Mac being that #1, so their growth is "more important" to me this season than T-Mac's, in that sense. Thielen's presence will suppress the numbers T-Mac/XL/Coker put up, but his presence is what is best for Bryce's growth, which is more important than anything with the WRs this year because we need to know if he's going to be that franchise QB for us. If Bryce already proved himself to be that guy, Thielen isn't even on the team this year and none of this is a debate, then yes, T-Mac would HAVE to put up 1k this season.

      I’m ready to fall in love with the Carolina Panthers again

      I've gone back to buying Panthers merch for the first time in a couple of years. Have some optimism for the first time since we drafted Bryce, which quickly met it's downfall.  Don't fug this up, Panthers.
