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

I dont even pay people any mind who dont want to call this crap out. You cant defend this bone headed staff forever. That includes the new GM. The panthers have basically squandered multiple draft picks in a matter of a couple months. 2nd and 4th gone down the drain after just 7 games from darnold. They dont deseve any leeway.

No explanation needed, they are terrible at their jobs because they thought Sam was not who he is on years of tape. Not for free through free agency on a 1 year contract, multiple picks. They did it last year with Teddy and now they are 0 for 2. He is basically a rookie, they were wrong. It was the Jets, he is doing worse here. It's the line but he looks just as bad when they did block. We were expecting CMC to be healthy but we ran him into the ground to make up for how bad Darnold plays. Gase was terrible yet Rhule is doing the same level awful product. 

Excuses for people going through the stages of coping.

Minshew would have been better than Darnold at this point. 

I really wonder what it is with that because Menshew has put up better #s in limited time than a lot of other people in similar situations that got starting gigs.

It was a gamble and they lost man. There’s your explanation.

Guess the Panthers believe in going all in and not hedging their bets. Thought a hedge fund manager would know better than that. Now his team’s stadium will either be empty of full of opposing team’s fans because no one wants to watch Sam Darnold dance around the pocket not throwing to open receivers because he’s a shook failure.

Maybe he’s too real for the nfl 

What do you mean by this.

One of the only things I've been able to find regarding his starting job is about practice.(other than the injury which he was out for)

Like the reading between the lines seems to suggest he isn't one of those guys that shows out at practice but his game numbers are good. Maybe he is one of those guys that just turns it on during the game but isn't a practice warrior.

Minshew strikes me as a tell it like it is kinda guy. He scrapped his way into the NFL and showed a lot of moxie when I’ve watched him play. Maybe his style doesn’t jive with some NFL teams way of life, just my speculation. Either way I bet he sees some playing time for the Eagles very soon.

    • I really like the way this team is trending. Morgan and Canales rookie campaign saw them do some questionable picks but, they also did some really good things. Especially addressing the offensive line.  Young had such a disastrous rookie season where his confidence was nowhere to be seen.  You can attribute part of this to a terrible offensive line.  So, we focused on the O-line.   We then brought in several defensive free agents that were supposed to compliment Brown.  Once Brown went down those players could not hold the line.  2025 we focused on defense in Free Agency and brought in several good players.  We then added more talent in the draft.  I think we have competition in several areas where Vets are not guaranteed to be starters.  Our offensive line is pretty set with some good backups.  Our defensive line is going to be a war for who comes out to be the starters.  All in All, we are leaps and bounds much better than 2023 roster.  Canales made some rookie head coach mistakes but grew as the season progressed.  He got our QB, who was starting to look like a huge bust, playing with confidence and poise.  Now it appears Young is moving upwards.  Maybe he is a QB whisperer.  After Young started to play better our offense was fun to watch.  Morgan knows football and knows what he wants in his players.  It appears to me that not only are these players he's drafted really good and got great value for them, but they are also high motor, intense players. Our defense, in the past, was always the key to our success.  I think Morgan is building a great defense. I know it is too soon to tell but I believe we may have a tandem that will be around a long time.  It would be nice to see Morgan/Canales be in the same class as Lynch/Shanahan and Beane/McDermott.   I know many Huddlers will overreact, but I truly believe we have a tandem that will be around a long time. TIME WILL TELL. Go Panthers
    • I am actually really excited about this kid. One thing that really jumped off watching his highlights was he almost is too fast or almost over pursues. You can get away with that stuff in college but the NFL these guys are stronger and more "slippery".  Little things that can be corrected but he seems to have a motor which is always a plus!
