Are the 2021 Carolina Panthers worse than the 2020 Carolina Panthers?

QB is the most important position on the field.  And Sam Darnold is worse than Teddy.  So for that reason, we are worse.  

Clone the teams and pit a Darnold lead version vs a Teddy one.  I'm taking Teddy in a 2 out of 3 series.  

 

The only advantage Teddy has over Sam is pocket presence, other than that, it’s not even close.

Yes, this team is definitely more talented IMO.  Sam is much better than Teddy but gotta cut out the fuggin turnovers.

That's fair.

That first INT almost had me break my computer screen.

At least that was the only INT he threw (much better than the 3 INTs last week, so that's...something, I guess?

We got to 3-3 last year too.  And CMC played more this year. 

Yep, and the improvement will show if Carolina keeps pace rather than fading. So far, we are mathematically on track to win 8 or 9 games, so unless you were expecting more pre-season, the sky is not falling. I am honestly still encouraged by the direction of the team. Even in losses against good Dallas and Minnesota teams, they fought hard late instead of folding. Philly is the one that stings because a good team closes that game out.

Teddy actually has some pretty obvious advantages over Sam. Pocket presence is definitely a big one. He also takes much better care of the ball, as well. He's actually putting up a better year than he had last year in Carolina(and far, far, far, far, far better than Darnold's 2021) over in Denver. 

We'd probably be in a better situation had we stuck with Teddy, simply because he isn't going to turn the ball over at the insane rate Darnold has. Now, we wouldn't see him march down the field to tie the game up like Darnold did yesterday. That isn't something Teddy is capable of.

In either scenario, Darnold or Teddy, we'd be looking for a new QB because neither are quality NFL starters. Hell, Darnold might not even be a quality backup in the end.

Rhule is very very concerning 

I honestly do not believe he has a clue as to what he is doing …not in controlling his assistants with the game plan or in talking to them about in game adjustments or feeling the flow of the game and positively altering it 

he will look exponentially better when Christian returns 

he really needed and still needs  a couple of seasoned NFL coaching Vets around him   I wondered about the large part of the offensive turn over last year to this one  it was a turn for the worse 

unlike the Rams young head coach, Rhule wasn’t smart enough to know what he doesn’t know   He thinks he and his ‘process’ is enough  it takes a helluva lot more than that to win a game in the NFL 

one day, probably in year 4, he will wake up and go, ‘Damn, should have made QB and OT a priority over having 16 cornerbacks on the roster ‘

Again any coach is going to look bad with a bottom 5 QB, it is ridiculously difficult to win with one. Do you think McVay, Belichick, or Reid would be better with this team?

Yes because they never would have brought a bottom 5 QB here 

they know better.  They know QB is the most important position on the field 

this HC thinks he can being in a jag and ‘coach them up…,how has that worked ?

So they publicly went after Watson and Stafford, and correctly passed on Fields and Jones.. who were they supposed to bring in?

well, that's not true.   Teddy processes things quicker.  It's why he can get the ball out so quick and efficiently.   He also throws a better ball in terms of placement for a receiver. 

Most importantly, Teddy has better ball security and doesn't make as many bonehead throws ( the two primary knocks of Sam that have existed everywhere he has been). 

Teddy is simply risk adverse to a fault.

      I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.

      From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"

      Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
