Sam Darnold - Proven Against Adversity

Recommended Posts

I heard Mark Sanchez talk about holding onto the ball with both hands instead of one and I did notice Sam in the pocket still has one hand on the ball. He does have to stop that shyte there. Sanchez was talking about himself btw not Darnold but something I was looking for this game.

Very true. Hoping this long week brings about a ton of lessons and training with ball security for Sam Darnold. 

He's shown he can be tough as seen with his evasion of Cam Jordan's near sack against him last week, but he needs to grip on the ball better with both hands.

Yea and that isn't even a big issue if the OL was a dung heap. He gets the ball out pretty fast and if he had some actual time I think we'd get the ball deep more often.

Still though you know your OL is dookie so gotta play like it

Not going to crown him just yet. Still a long season and yes, those fumbles are a concern (same problem Delhomme had when he played).

That said, what Darnold did in the second half is going to get him more respect, not just from the fans and media but more importantly, opposing defenses. Obviously, we shouldn't put everything on him but tonight, we all but had to and without CMC, he delivered.

This. 

Whether it continues remains to be seen. But he has proven to handle the pressure under adversity, and I hope it continues.

I am pleased.

Sam is looking like a first rnd pick on a team that's is self conscious 


This. He looks like a good first round pick.

I wanted Fields, but I can’t imagine he would be playing as well as Sam is right now.

Kid has wheels too. Three rushing TDs now and he has a 25-30 yard run called back off hold but he can move when he has the room.

His athleticism is extremely overlooked.

Some of these throws he makes on these roll outs while moving are insane. The one to Erickson travelled 25 yards in the air from where Darnold actually threw the ball.

I that he will do.  We could be so much worse off right now it ain't even funny.

He's slow winning over the doubters like myself but some will never accept him not matter what.  That's fine, we need fools to laugh at.

In short, he is definitely not the worst qb in the league.  

Do you smell that?  It's the smell of crow cooking.  Be ready haters.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
