Sam isn’t Aaron Rodgers.  He isn’t going to be.  That’s okay.    Sam is good enough with our weapons. 

we need to build a respectable OL.  And we still need to add talent at LB.    MLB specifically.  Shaq is playing great this year but we need more talent at the next level IMO

Justin Herbert at home vs Cowboys - 31/41, 338 yards, 1 TD, 2 INT, 87.2 QB Rating, 12 rushing yards

Sam Darnold on the road vs Cowboys - 26/39, 301 yards, 2 TDs, 2 INTs, 85.5 QB Rating, 35 rushing yards, 2 TDs

If I get banned for this, I don't care.  But for those of ya'll hating on Darnold... shut the hell up.  Darnold is 24 years old on a new team (after spending years on a GARBAGE one) and is quite frankly playing wayyyy better than anyone could have reasonably expected.  And you got people being negative about it?  Come on man.  

Those 2 picks were bad and he's gotta hit Robby and Moore on those 2 passes deep, but other than that?  Brother was BALLING.  I was there and the OL looked dreadful.  And Darnold ain't care.  Escaping pressure, getting the ball off.  If you didn't come away impressed with Darnold after that game, then your football opinion is 100% irrelevant.  And I don't say that lightly.  Like holy crap.  Dude was far, far from the issue.

Some people are just never happy. Others are more invested in having their opinions validated than in seeing us win.

KInda sad, honestly.

I was very hesitant about trading for Darnold, but he has played great and I’m thrilled about it. I hope he gets better and becomes our franchise QB. I love being wrong when it’s in the Panther’s favor!

Anyone blaming today’s loss on Sam must not have watched the super bowl. Pat Mahomes looked rough without an O.L. 

Without 2 rushing t.d.’s from Darnold we would not be in this game. How soon we forget.

EXACTLY.

Would Teddy Two-Gloves, for example, have done that?   Nope.

Hell we wouldn't even have been in this game from the start with him at QB.

If simply telling people to shut up equates to getting banned here, I think this would be a ghost town.  LOL!

But yeah...He has done terrific considering he has Construction-Paper guarding him at Center.  

Did I mention I want Paradis fired into the sun?

      It's rare enough for a running back to tear the same ACL twice. There's not much of a sample size on the recoveries. And of course Dobbins has missed a lot of time--he was injured twice. That number will drop as his career continues, and even if it doesn't, that doesn't necessarily mean it has anything to do with the prior injuries. Dobbins just started and played well for a playoff team all year until he was injured by a hip-drop tackle. Surely his ACL recoveries didn't contribute to his completely random foot injury caused by an illegal tackle? Again, I'm confused why everyone is being so definitive that there's 'very little chance' of any meaningful contribution ever when the greatest counterpoint ever played for us. Thomas Davis tore the same knee over and over again and was basically fine. As for the roster-building stuff, we'll see what happens with Chuba and Dowdle at the end of the year, but Etienne's not going to factor into this. Either Brooks comes back, in which case we've already seen more from him than we have from Etienne, or he doesn't. But Etienne's not forcing him off the team. If anything, Etienne's current role is his absolute floor.

      Then I would assume disingenuous. Why on earth would you consider this an "exciting" time to be a Panthers fan? Let me ask this, how old are you and how long have you been an NFL fan?

      An ESPN writer had a good breakdown of teams that were likely to come back to earth(KC and Redskins were two of them) based on outlier results in 2024 in close games. I think that has a lot to do with it. Found it: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46003861/nfl-teams-likely-decline-lose-more-games-2025-season-predictions-vikings-chiefs-commanders-lions-colts
