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.

      Underdog 2nd year QB preview

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Yeah, I'm serious. You take all of the first year jitters any rookie QB starting will face. Then you put him behind an inept line, give him a group of WRs that features a 32-33 year old slot receiver as their only reliable guy and use him as WR1, no TEs to speak of, pay big bucks for an undersized and over-touted RB that isn't out competing practice squad players AND THEN pair it up with a dysfunctional owner/HC/OC combo that keeps running the same play concept again and again and again. (And coaches that were already at each other's backs with daggers don't develop young QBs... heck it's the hardest skill ever for any HC.. Jon Gruden never could do it and there's a case to be made that Belichick never did it (the QB developing the coach possibly there)). Yeah, he was bad, legendarily bad, but he was in possibly the worst environment imaginable for a rookie QB. You can take away some mechanics issues that should have been worked on and still need to be worked on, but everything else was tainted by that environment.  I wasn't impressed by him in the least for anything except for his character and willingness to go back out there and just get killed again and again. At least he wasn't running away on every play, little girly screams lifting to the cheap seats, like Pickles was.  Will he be good this year? Honestly, the odds are stacked against him. They are on every young QB in the league, and he had more piled against him. Maybe Canales can fix him and the team. I sure hope so. If not, it's back to the drawing board and we'll have wasted two seasons. I really don't want that to happen.

      All this talk of the supporting cast and coaching being the culprits of our struggles is just sounding like the rationalizations of Sam Darnold's time with the Jets. I'm ready to see the results and know what we have. Enough talk. Thank goodness June is finally upon us.
