Sam has already been better than Clausen on the field.

Jimmy got us a the #1 pick in the draft, a franchise QB, and a new coaching staff. 

After just three NFL starts and being pulled in week 5, Clausen was benched after completing 47 percent of his passes with one touchdown and three interceptions. Clausen also fumbled seven times, losing two, and had a 52.2 passer rating. Clausen finished the 2010 season with 157 completions out of 299 attempts (52.5%), 1,558 yards with 3 touchdowns and 9 interceptions. He was sacked 33 times and fumbled 9 times, losing two.[43]

What is Sam going to get us??

 

Sam is better than Clausen. Not enough better to matter but he is better than Clausen.

Sam is more of the Weinke/Peete class of Panthers QB.

Man, you know Jimmy Clausen was just the worst when everyone can agree Darnold is definitely better lol

I'd probably have to check out the season if we had a Clausen-level QB.  I can't believe we even won a game with him.

Clausen and Sam are two different kinds of horrible IMO.  Jimmy brought a consistency you could count on.  The O would be no threat.  Ever.  

Sam can an have odd game here or there and has physical ability.  You can’t count on him even to properly suck.

I should know, considering he blew the Jets chances at getting Trevor Lawrence.

Exactly.  Clausen last year easily goes 0-16 for the Jets.  And would have done it if even the front office wasn’t trying to set them up to fail. 

Sam is always going to let you down.  You want him to get the pick you want? Well, he is going to win a couple random games just because.

In Sams defense he has scored 12 TDs in 6 games where Jimmy scored 2 in 10 games.

Sam has also won 3 games out of 6 where Jimmy won 1 out of 10. The other victory that year was Matt Moore’s against SF.

Not saying he is good, just saying not Clausen bad.

Clausen also didn't turn the ball over nearly as much. They both fail to score points, though, which is why we can't win when they're out there. Clausen had the benefit of a respectable coach, albeit one who'd mailed it in even more than his players at that point. Darnold has the PJ Walker of coaches.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
