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

Why not both?

It’s only a matter of time before you start hearing about Taylor Moton getting “fat and lazy” on here. I bet it’s already been said.

 

Youll never see that said of Darnold. It’s hard getting folks to admit he doesn’t have it between the ears…

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. 

A better qb could survive

The Panthers are a community property. While there is an owner, EVERYTHING is based on the community also owning (fandom) and supporting the franchise financially. The city(you) is a partner in that franchise. If you weren't NFL owners wouldn't be asking for public financing come stadium building time.

They ARE beholden to you. Act like it! Demand better!

They could have hired a veteran backup like say Josh McCown. Who is probably still better than any QB on the roster.

The moves being made don't compute if you're trying to win a long season.

Remember, Cam always had a legit veteran backup in Derrick Anderson. I don't see why they wouldn't have a veteran backup unless they are again, trying to lose.

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. 

Hedge fund managers are aggressive not conservative. But he’s the owner, not the GM. Darnold hasn’t lived up to expectations, but you could say this about everyone on offense. It’s an absolute cluster fug and there’s some kind of underlying issues not being addressed.

I think certain labels are unfairly used on people but there's gotta be some better examples of the double standard than Darnold... There's no possible way you could call Darnold fat and lazy.  About all he is good for is actually putting in effort, it just doesn't show anywhere because he's bad.

A huge portion of the posters on this forum have already concluded Darnolds problem is between the ears and he isn't making decisions fast enough and is just a bad player... He's the same guy he's always been unfortunately...

I'm just thinking back on the play calling during the preseason everyone thought was okay because we weren't trying to tip our hand and just run basic concepts.

Turns out, we did tip our hand with those basic concepts. 

The amount of mental gymnastics that went on here during the preseason was hilarious.

Check down wide open

...Seems he overlooks the wide open receiver a lot... trying to make the spectacular play. He is very careless with the ball. Its too bad because I think he has the physical attributes. People bitch about the check down but if it moves the chains wgaf...

      From the ground up: How the Panthers are retooling Bryce Young's footwork to slow down time

      By rayzor · Posted

      the way it should be. the way it has to be.  when you get a rookie (no matter where he is drafted), you don't expect him to play like a vet or even get a grasp on NFL offenses like a vet. if you intend to have him running the offense, you build the offense around what they do and what clicks.  not Young's fault, but he was sold as someone who would be a rookie but has the mind of a seasoned vet. guess what...he wasn't. reich and "his" crew had no idea how to work with a rookie QB or groom one. they thought they knew, but they didn't and it was obvious in the lack of plan they had for him. their plan was to treat him like he was a seasoned vet. even with that, i don't think they had any clear vision not just with Bryce, but with the offense. There was no cohesion between all the various coaches. nothing fit together and reich wasn't a strong enough leader to pull it all together.  i like the approach of starting over with the fundamentals and i think it's good for any new coaching staff or new QB to a system. you don't know what to expect so you start from the beginning to make sure you're on the same page from the beginning. and as you get more used to each other, you learn what works, what could really work well, and what won't work and you form the playbook around that. contrast that with chud who had been working on a playbook for years and just wanted to use it regardless of whether the situation called for it or the personnel he had (on the team or even on the field) fit what he wanted to call.   or last year when we had coaches from completely different backgrounds trying to put something together that was supposed to be a blend of what each brought to the table, but just ended up being a sloppy predictable mess that didn't fit anyone on the team, QB, WRs, and OL.

      Least excitment before any season?

      By Johnstonny · Posted

      I've always been super pumped up for the upcoming season but I've never been so uninterested in a new season. After six years under Dipper I've been left at end of season drunken and wallowing in my own piss... not invested in the team right now but hope Canales and Morgan make a good team together...

      There's no discussion anymore, it's just a circle jerk about how bad Bryce is, and it got old a while ago.
