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

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?

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.

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.

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".

    • Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies     
    • You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
    • Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
