Zach had a good game against the Titans. He's better than Sam but holy fug just sit him for the rest of the year

Meh - Connected on a few big plays, but missed a number of easy throws that would have sealed the game well before needing a missed OT FG.

At present, he's basically just a schoolyard QB who's one play is "go long" and his biggest weapon this throwing the ball downfield and getting a DPI for a big gain.

I didn't want Sam to start with. That's a guy you pick up after he's cut and give him a 1 year prove it deal, or pay what you have to on the contract only. I still still don't know why we traded for him. No other teams wanted him.

I understand the trade, as there is some reason to believe the Jets were the problem, because well...

I cannot understand why in the world you'd pick up his option.  You're on the hook for 18M when you'd probably want to get rid of him.  Franchise tag would only have been 7M more, in the worst case financial scenario were you to have been right that he was actually good and the Jets/Gase were the problem.

I didn't mind trading for him, though I thought the 2nd was a round too high. What I did mind was picking up that option as opposed to letting him earn his status on the field. The motherfuger learned nothing from the Teddy situation. Dumb!

it’s the opposite. a year and what makes it essentially 12m a year for two years doesn’t mean anything. anyone crying about that doesn’t understand the cap, what qbs cost now days, salaries and how it can be manipulated. Panthers have 12m just sitting doing nothing as we speak

i don’t understand the trade…you’ll never get back those picks which are much more value than paying some dead money for a year this team won’t be competing for anything anyways

hell for all the dead or live money the Panthers pay anyways for worthless/ex players and now Robbie’s bullshit contract it is barley even relevant enough to think about

I saw a video of Rhule and his staff talking about trading for Sam. They thought he looked like Matthew Stafford, the guy they really wanted. Matt said he didn't want to come here, and Fitterer went into overdrive to find a vet.

You don't have weapons or a line. 

That's the reason we're not a good offense.  And, Wilson has definitely been let down by them at times.  But, Wilson's inability to execute is the reason we're a dreadful one.

There are many, many opportunities that he botches.  Look now further than todays game.  Our back-up QB, who is by no means good, came in, and he found open WRs and moved the ball.  Is he a guy you can rely on, of course not.  But, does he dispel the notion that nothing is possible with this offense?  I think so.

    • Brandt's comment about Wharton was from his KC perspective when Wharton was a UDFA rookie.   "it goes back to the anecdote that Brandt Tillis had when he was in Kansas City. And it would be so easy to just cut Turk Wharton in 2020 when he was an undrafted rookie from a division two college in Missouri. It would been so easy to cut him because then he would have cleared waivers easily. No one knew this guy. They didn't have any joint practices, didn't have a preseason. Would have been so easy to cut him and bring him back on the practice squad and let him continue to build from there. And Brandt essentially said, "No, he's got to make the 53man roster if we're going to have any sort sense of credibility with this team."    
    • Plenty of us were scratching our heads about that signing at the time. Especially with our 3-4 defense. Wharton is kind of a one trick pony situational five tech DT. He doesn't have the beef to hold up against the run and he doesn't have the juice to shift outside. He's basically a situational pass rusher DT. If we paid him $40M+ and he can't start for a historically inept defense then holy poo...
    • Agreed.  300 and 2 or 3 total in Jacksonville in a winning effort would sure be a nice start.
