The Panthers owe the fans an explanation why Sam Darnold was the only potential starting QB on the roster this season.

[hepcat]

Why wasn't a veteran QB signed along with Darnold? Or why wasn't a rookie QB drafted? 

The chances Darnold failed were extremely high, and PJ Walker is terrible and Will Grier is probably terrible but he's not here anymore for us to find out. 

How was handing over the keys to the franchise to a QB you dumpster-dove off a bad Jets team the ONLY STARTING OPTION for this team?

[Catsfan69]

Because he was one of two best available that we could get.

No they don't and I'm about sick of this topic. We focused our energy on defense the past couple of off seasons. They knew they didn't have an offensive line. The only real QB options to trade for were Darnold and Matt Stafford. We had a trade for Stafford but he wanted to be in LA. I promise you we would have gotten Watson had it not been for his legal battles. No real other options besides Darnold. I thought it was a smart move to to see what he has for a year or 2. No QB is doing anything behind this Oline anyways so why bring in more guys. Might as well see what we have. He looked great the first 3 games but no QB in the league can survive this Oline with no CMC. Not a single one. I think we are playing in smart and will fix the offensive problems next offseason. Im so sick of the drama queens on here that think they know how to run and NFL team.

lol no they don't 

[Fox007]

Er he wasn't.

They failed to get Stafford and Watson due to obvious

They obviously didn't have him as their first choice wtf is so hard to understand about this.

maybe they can explain why they added CJ, Gilmore, etc.....and not someone like Menshew then.  In on every deal, right?

LOL. You really need to step away and take a break from the Huddle for a bit. You're losing your mind.

Well Menshew isn't even starting in Philly where Hurts can't even throw the ball forward unless he's playing the Panthers 

Looking at what Menshew has put up it's baffling all around really because he seems like he has potential and can't land a starting gig.

If any other franchise did this we'd (rightfully) laugh our asses off and mock the poo out of 'em.

[Call Me James]

Even the Jets made a move for QB 

[LinvilleGorge]

No they don't. Just put the dots together. We were all in on Sam Darnold because we believed that he would he a competent QB and an upgrade over Teddy. The fact that we've targeted Teddy and Darnold as our QBs of choice tells you everything you need to know about these guys' ability to evaluate NFL QBs and might be why we're all in on a proven commodity in Watson now. We sure as hell don't want these guys identifying another "prospect".

Exactly
