If he continues like this, we found our franchise QB on the scrap heap. What a minor miracle that would be.

Been saying it for a while, if we stay somewhat healthy, and Sam plays above average at QB, we could have a winning record.

Who knows what happens over the next 15 games, but I'm impressed so far...better than I expected this early into a new team and offense.

...and he's only 23. Still learning the offense and his new targets.

Could be worse.

Don't forget that 1 rushing TD.

Great performance yesterday imo.  We will need him to carry the team from behind or in tough situations at some point this year, and that's when we'll have a better idea if just how much he's grown.  But it's clear he survived the Jets and has more than enough in the tank to be a player in this league.

Yea you'd think a team that just had Cam at QB wouldn't forget that! give dat man his rushing TD

Quite frankly he could run more.

Figures. Well he was 24 when we started kicking ass and put everyone in the division on notice in 2013 so I'll go with that lol.

I expect to see Sam continue to improve, continue to grow in the new offense as he learns the nuances and checks and gets more familiar with his weapons.  Also I expect Joe Brady to improve calling plays as he gets more comfortable with Sams strengths and weaknesses. We really may have struck gold for what amounts to a 2nd round pick.  The future for Sam, and this team in general is insanely bright.  I have watched enough football, and Panthers football in particular to know when a team is legit or not.  This team is legit.

He absolutely lasered some passes into tight windows yesterday. Dude has me optimistic about the QB position moving forward.
