He's at the top of the league in many categories. I think what you meant to say is. "If he continues to play at this level. We got this". Because at this moment in time. Sam is the future at QB for this team.

 

Until Sam poos the bed. He is, and will continue to be, the QB of our Carolina Panthers.

Darnold could use some 4th quarter comebacks, game winning drives, etc. Those are more important than stats alone.

But I think they'll come.

How does that explain how well he does in the 4th quarter?

 

The 3rd quarter is his only bad quarter.

lol you're asking me? 

Let me take a wild guess here. Maybe by the end of the 3rd Brady, Ryan, Darnold & the route runners have figured out the adjustments that were made and made their own adjustments. There's also the luxury of time slipping away.

Yes, opposing adjustments need to be better anticipated and accounted for. It will come with experience. There's no doubt about that. But it is a team game and it's not all on Sam.

Sam has done well and exceeded expectations but he's not a franchise QB or top 12 QB yet, so we should still consider upgrading if he doesn't play himself into that conversation by the end of the season 

Hes on pace for 5000 passing yards and 40 total TDs.  If that ain't franchise QB then IDK what is. And we're a quarter of the way thru the season so its fair to begin that extrapolation.

How many turnovers, sacks taken, and deep pass connections is he on pace for?

Well, lets see...

Hes currently on pace for 12.75 INTs

Hes lost 1 fumble, so 4 fumbles lost

Hes on pace to be sacked 47 times (ouch)

IDK about "deep pass connections".  What constitutes a "deep pass"?  DJ Moore currently leads the league in receptions of 20+ yards.  Is that considered a deep pass?

Based on what I've seen so far it appears Sam certainly has franchise quarterback capabilities in him. But whether it's him or Joe Brady they need to get together and figure out how to get this deep passing game going we have DJ Moore and Robby Anderson waiting. That's just a fact Jack.

He's at the bottom of league in deep passes completed (40+) yards

I just don't want you to get too comfortable as Teddy had the same optimism on here after his first 4 games and look how that turned out at the end of the year

Sam still has a long way to go

Just because YOU feel that way, does not mean WE have to feel that way. IMO, there is no reason NOT to be excited. Unless you are just waiting for the other shoe to drop. And that is an attitude I would cross the street to avoid.

I think that may be the case here...(or it really seems like it).

Looks to me like he's waiting for Sam to morph into Teddy Asswater so he can then kick back, light a "victory" cigar, and tell us how he "knew all along" or some sh-t.   smh.

Aaron Rodgers has 14 comebacks in his 17(or so) career. His hit rate is 29%. 4th quarter comebacks are not a stat to hang your hat on.

You were literally so excited we had a franchise QB after Teddy's start last year... do I really need to point out the threads?

      cam Newton makes his return to Madden football

      By micnificent28 · Posted

      Little light hearted topic.. For whatever reason Cam Newton doesn't appear in Madden ultimate team every year for whatever reason like most legends. I personally believe it's due to them robbing him of appearing on the cover of the video game series during his peak years winning NFL rookie of the year and the MVP super bowl run.  Needless to say I'm a huge Competitive Madden ultimate team player spending hours of days crunching numbers and churning roster management. When this was announced it was a lightening rod in the Madden community. Competitive players know Newton is a game changer.. Your talking fastest quarterback in the game and highest throwing power in the game when he drops. That a long with. Unheard of ability at quarterback like freight train the ability to run over linebacker and corners and I was stoked. I m ashamed to say how much money threw at the game to try to pull newton and failed  But it's a big deal seeing as every pro Madden player most certainly has to have him on their roster and the card art is pretty sweet.

      Player-led approach

      By Icege · Posted

      A few different ways this can be taken depending on how you view things: Negative: This coaching staff is so inept that players are having to practically beg them to put them in situations that we as fans have been screaming for. How could David Tepper and Bryce Young do this to us? Positive: The coaches are listening to the players who are trusting the coaches! Neutral: Collaboration can lead to good things, so hopefully this starts the upward trend we've been waiting for.

      Our 2nd Most Productive WR

      I've been trying to tell y'all since preseason that Brycen Tremayne is the missing piece. 😛 XL, TMac, Coker, and Tremayne all dumpstering DBs when the team runs out of 10 personnel will be hilarious.
