Eh, little early for a definitive statement but very promising so far. Of note to me is that he's consistently looking better than he did in NY (still some hiccups of course) while Teddy looked exactly how he always has during those first games last year.

I bring this up because the staff is the common denominator. Getting improved performance like this is a big plus IMO.

Yep.  Sam has more passing yards, more passing TDs, more rushing TDs, and fewer ints than Teddy through the first 3 games comparing last year Teddy to this year's Sam.  Sam's  just a better QB.

I keep reading about what happens to Sam in a shootout. He's built for just that, his issues don't stem from placement, or necessarily reads, as much as trusting his recievers and throwing it up vs wasting a play. He also has a short memory and trusts his arm, Same trait superstars get praised for when their playmakers make the catch. 

I know it was coledge, he was a 19 year old frosh, but here's sam in a shootout when he has playmakers.

We were sitting right above our band, on the side where most of those plays were made.  It was awesome, particularly after Chris Godwin scored his last touchdown for Penn State…..motioning to us that it was bedtime and they had put the game away.  Lol.

Our players said that at the lowest point in the game, Sam told them with his quiet confidence, that they would win the game.

He’s got a way to go to top Olsen for a 3rd round pick

Considering Tremble has had 1 target which he caught for 30 yards, and 1 rush for a 7 yard touchdown, I think comparing him to Olsen is very premature.  He did  return 1 kick from the Jets  for 21 yards.   That's it.  No other targets or rushes,  the rest is blocking, which hasn't been perfect, but has been pretty good overall and if go you and watch Sam's goalline push TD, the pile doesn't move until Tremble gets involved.

Olsen was originally a 1st rounder reclamation project who's numbers were in decline when we traded. 

We'll see more of Tremble, but I REALLY like what I've seen so far.

Umm, I was responding to a comment about the best trade in Panthers history. Nothing to do with Tremble.

Sorry, I thought you were referring to Tremble in the 3rd.

Olsen's first year he had 540 yards and caught only 50% of his targets.   Unless Sam falls to earth, he is looking much better than Olsen did his first year with us.

      Yes, but those guys aren't depth guard signings, they're likely going to wait and see who has injuries or players under performing and then sign there. I also think that if Ickey really is going to be able to play at some point this year, that's where our guard depth comes from.  As if he gets to the point of being active, we'd then have 3 LT's on the roster with him, Freeling, and Walker, gotta think one of them not named Freeling gets kicked inside if needed.

      lol imagine being Hill and this is what your coach thinks about you replacing a guy giving up over 4 goals per game.

      I don't think Tyreek is a bad player to play with on the field, for sure not in the same way that Diggs is, as he's a cancer on the field with how he acts, and wouldn't take kindly to being 2nd fiddle behind T-Mac. It's that Tyreek is just a terrible person who realistically shouldn't even be in the NFL, his insane athletic ability is why his off field transgressions have been overlooked.  If he was a WR3, no team would have kept him around, it was only that he was a 1st ballot HOF level talent that kept him around. Just zero interest in having a person like that around our young WRs, that's really all it comes down to for me with him. Again, if we were true contenders this year, that changes things and I'd rather bring in the best possible players and hope it works out.  But they're trying to build something here and to do that, you need high quality people, not just great talent.
