What they saw was what happened with Tannehill in Miami to Tennessee and thought we had the same miracle cure of just getting Darnold out from under the same bad coach.

And Darnold may have been, and may still be salvable. The problem is you needed an offense that babies the guy, gets him adjusted, and takes the pressure off his shoulders. You needed Ron Rivera + Norv Turner coached team and an offensive line.

The Panthers keep trying to take short cuts to success without the assets to risk what they're doing.

Darnold would struggle behind the Dallas OL and with the Dallas running game. His issues aren't related to what happened to him, they are related to who he is as a player.

And, really, why would anyone think he could suddenly just be an NFL QB after just one full season as a HS QB and two seasons as a college QB? Even at USC his disappointing RS sophomore season was blamed on coaching. So, at USC, the Jets and now here in Carolina it was always the coaches fault?

His career and the idea of his talent was made on one year at USC, where he was playing with a ton of talent around him. It was never real.

Brady a few weeks ago was getting all kinds of praise for the 2nd coming of Sam. Now, I have not heard anything from him. 

I think that this franchise has tended to move on from OC's too fast, but at this point I don't trust Brady's evaluation process on finding the next QB for us. 

At this point I can't even blame Brady...

Oline can't be trusted to blocked for more then 2 seconds and even when they do WR can't catch.. Then the QBS not accurate and can't read defenses consistently... Their is nothing on this offense you can depend on at this point..

Exactly. For some reason they think they can contend now so they're desperately swinging at the fences and compromising our future in the process.

They will be sitting on their sofas like the rest of us come the playoffs

How could you say compromising our future when we don't have a QB, and this upcoming QB class is one of the weakest in comparison to others...

We have no future to compromise at the moment. 

 

Not sure where the idea there are no QBs coming out next year started. Cuz there are quite a few QBs that are lighting it up this year. If we go that way, there will be options.

Rhule watched his college tape. This entire staff bases everything around what they did in college, its not working. 

 

 

They watched every throw Sam has made since High School. They did their homework. It just seems like it hasn't worked so far. Maybe it still can.

Thats fair. And a pretty level headed comment.

Malik Willis was put up with Highlights but he's no good according to the QB experts here.

Howell is no good because he's seemed mediocre.

Rattler, as well. 

Personally, all of them would be good draft picks....why?  Because none of them were destroyed by the Jets.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      Any idea what happened to him at LSU? im reading that he was considered a 1st round pick in 2023, had an off 2024 season with only 4 sacks but was also on a horrible FSU team then went to LSU where he was supposed to be on an aggressive defense that should have given him a lot of sacks but he only ended up with one….   was he injured? Did the top SEC competition expose him? What happened? Cause this guy was considered a top prospect .

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.
