Really wish there was an easier way to catch Panthers games out here on the West coast. From the highlights I saw, Sam looked good. As the season progresses and he gets more comfortable, I think we’ll see some great plays with our offense more in sync. We definitely need to do something with our O line.

Well we have to understand too he's prob still learning the playbook too. I think most of his prob was the Jets and not his own. I mean Wilson is going to see ghosts by week 8 if they don't protect him better.

Rhule is treating him like a rookie.  He looked like a rookie yesterday.  That is the correct approach if you want to rewire him.  Will it work?  Only time will tell.

After rewatching there’s about 3 throws he just sailed. 1 was in the end zone the other 2 would have been chunk plays. Clean that up and today everybody would be talking about our new franchise QB. Sam seems to be a slow starter so hopefully as he gets comfortable there’s less of missing wide open guys. All in all I give him a B+

I don't think there is much to rewire except protection and better players. I mean Sam was getting Drilled by DEs for two years. Not much you can do when you get hit and the WRs drop your ball.

I saw a lot I was encouraged by, and excited about moving forward.  That 2nd qtr, he looked like a 3rd overall pick/franchise QB.  But, ngl, all the hype I felt from that, it quickly subsided in the 2nd half, and honestly, the 2nd half left a sour taste in my mouth overall.  I'm hoping he just feels more confident about what he did right early, and carries that forward and builds on it.  But, that 2nd half was hard to watch...  I know it wasn't all on Sam bc Brady's playcalling went to poo too, but that was rough.

He looked better than a rookie.  Made a few protection calls and audibles at the line.  He handled the pressure with poise.

    • This draft is 2023 all over again, it's not hard to see. QB's who don't grade out as high first round prospects while at the same time, the following draft class looks to be loaded with elite QB prospects. Drafting a QB just because you need one (or making a bad trade to make said draft pick), when there isn't one worthy of that draft pick, is how you ruin franchises, just look at us right now.  
    • I upgraded to the S24+ a few weeks back. Very happy with it. 
    • LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.   And yes, I've never said I'm not a T-Mac homer. But me being that doesn't change that he will be the highest graded offensive player in this year's draft, at a position we haven't been able to solve since we lost Smitty.  Taking him makes all the sense in the world, my bias aside.
