Team started 3-2 last year too so are they really trending up? I guess it depends on if you believe in the QB or not. Darnold surprised me early in the season but it was against poor teams. As soon as the difficultly level ramped up Darnold has looked worse. If he bounces back today I’ll be happy for him but I’d be surprised. The offensive line is terrible and Darnold has largely been a poor QB in his career.

 

See, you are super focused on only a small part of the whole. As a whole, this team has more talent than last year, and a poo ton more than 2 years ago. That is what you should be looking at. The future.

Its really weird, the Panthers have been two Superbowls the past 20 years. Not many teams can say that. Not the Cowboys thank goodness. 

A ton of the PSLs are owned by ticket brokers and others who treat them as an investment.  If you're a Vikings fan within a hundred miles of Charlotte and your team is coming around you're probably willing to drop 3x face on a ticket to see them.

Plus the usual stuff about Charlotte being a transplant city, etc.

I agree there is more talent on defense than last year. Offense is largely the same if not worse on the offensive line. So that might balance it all out. I really don’t think this team has accomplished anything over what they did last year yet. They beat 2 teams with rookie QBs and a team missing half their coaching staff. A win against a pretty solid Vikings team would legit surprise me. I expect the Panthers to get their asses kicked today.

Well I tried. You have convinced yourself of impending doom. I hope you are wrong, cuz I like the direction we are heading.

 

I just don't get why folks are afraid to admit that this rebuild isn't done yet? That 3 game winning streak messed with people's head.

      Forget trying to draft a QB in the early first round--it's stupid

      By MHS831 · Posted

      OK, fair enough--however, since my point was that drafting a QB in the top 10 is stupid, if you consider the players who were not drafted in the top 10 or those who WERE drafted in the top 10 and did not secure starting positions with the team that drafted them, you should see the point.  Is it smart to draft a QB in the top 10 when only 4 are still starting for the team that drafted them.  Next, consider that half of that number, 2, were drafted outside the first round.  Next, there are 4 (Goff, Mayfield, Jones, and Darnold) who are starting on other teams after busting.   That number could increase as Arizona seems ready to move on from Murray, Miami is not sold on Tua, and jacksonville is still waiting for Trevor to start looking elite.  Bryce?   So to answer your question, there are MANY more QBs in the NFL who have busted and become starters on other rosters, were drafted after day 1, or are still on the cusp than the four who have become elite.  I thought that point was made.
