This loss is on the receivers, not Sam.

First play of the game interception set the tone. Need team leaders to play better.

It was a bad decision, because he threw it too Robbie. You want to talk about leadership? Ask the guy who called out the coaching staff last week and responded this game with the most uninspired effort of any Panther ever… including KB!!

Sam was sold on the idea he would NOT have to play hero ball.  He was told he would NOT have to do it all.  He was told he had a defense and a run game and WRs galore!

3 weeks in and they dump it all in his lap and send him out to the wolves behind that line with no CMC and a depleted D.

Im stunned his play has declined…(sarc)

Hell of a bait and switch.

Sam is one of many problems this team is facing;

terrible o-line

stud rb who can’t stay on the field 

OC who seems lost at times

 below average ST

talented D who are being asked to perform miracles because our offense is inept most of the time.

A HC who basically admitted he doesn’t know how to adjust during games.

Sam may not be the future. Sam may have shat the bed the past two losses.

But played good enough today for what he is. He led a last minute drive with precision passes. He side stepped poo blocking (once again).

Today we lost because of drops. Had the receivers caught those dead on passes, we would’ve won, guaranteed.

I understand the concerns of Sam but let’s keep this in perspective.

Exactly. 

People harped on last week's pass to Robbie saying "oh.  Well Sam should've thrown it at the numbers to Robbie 'cause that's why he couldn't catch it".

Well he threw a bunch of those today and they STILL DROPPED IT.

So yes.   This loss is on the WRs.  

But let's not also give a pass to the Defense or rather the -EFENSE ('Cause the "D" was missing) who gave up :

198 Yards RUSHING

370+ Yards PASSING

 

Jesus Christ that's bad.

We also need Wide Receivers to catch the goddamn football for 58 minutes after that, too.

We also need the Defense to not give up about 198 rushing yards and 370+ passing yards to the opponent either.

No team wins with 10 dropped passes. Yet Sam had them within a coin toss of doing just that.

 

 

Yep.   All the -EFENSE had to do was play some "D" and force (in the least) a FG to get the ball back and perhaps Sam would be clutch again.   But we'll never know because they couldn't stop a nosebleed today.

Sam is probably the second biggest problem on the team behind the raging dumpster fire at OL.

But this was just a game we were destined to lose. The stalwart defense wilted, our WR's got a case of the Crisco hands.....it was crazy.

At some level I am glad it is Sam out there getting drilled and not some promising rookie we drafted. It's pretty clear Darnold is going to be the future here so let him work out the kinks on offense while we keep building that OL in 2022.

      The Carolina Huddle

      By ladypanther · Posted

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      Favorite JAG 2020+

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.

      He wasn't a JAG, he's been a starter every year of his career. Didn't turn into the superstar it seemed like he might his rookie year, but I think part of that has been being misused. Guy was/is a baller.
