Wow.  I hope that was the last play of Sams’ Panthers career…..you get a high draft pick with your 1st, but if you don’t fix that line, your rookie will be expendable even if you don’t wish it.  Backup gig is not bad in the NFL.

Maybe that was Brady’s plan, so he can get his own young QB. 

 

Pretty sad comment don't ya think? Really make one wonder.

Well there are some hard truths to that game. Yes Sam played with heart and guts but he was getting the running opportunities because of his glaring passing deficiencies. It looked pretty clear to me Joe Brady's gameplan was to limit Sam's mistakes as much as possible. The short throws to Adbdullah who is an asset were very reminiscent of the CMC plays from our 3-0 stretch. But when we asked Sam for more downfield you saw what the answer was. This was against a Falcons team that had been giving up 30 ppg on defense. Sam is what he is at this point and a close win against a bad Falcons team who is right there with us in the cellar of the division doesn't change that.

It was a step he had to take and he took it with a woeful oline and receivers that,couldn’t catch a cold 

he also checked out of calls, it appeared, into proper play all against the defense 

I give Sam a lot of credit today aNd yes it was the Falcons and yes, the Panthers ran a lot but they got a W. The Defense got a W   The special,tea,s got a W 

lets,hope he recovers as concussions are no joke 

and let’s just be happy for a W today. It’s been a month.

That play call where he got rocked boggled my mind.  Sam had bounced back a little from the disaster that the last few weeks were so let's run him like a RB (while we have two of those doing well) and get him lit the fug up one play after he got forearmed in the head already.  Knowing full damn well that PJ fuging Walker is the only other option on the roster.

Wut.

I hope he heals up quickly - he absolutely played his face off.

Not having a real NFL backup is gonna really cost us one of these days.

It is, not surprising, unfortunately.  Over the years I’ve had the great pleasure to speak to a number of our former players, including several that ended up in the Pro HOF…every one said the same thing, the NFL is strictly business, they play for the money, that college is where they played with their love and heart.  NFL fans only think of them if they win, and when you’re not useful anymore, they move on. Major reason why a player like Troy Polamalu will not participate in Steeler reunions, but he does visit his alma mater and is there when asked to come.

It’s the Roman rabble in the coliseum mentality.

No offense but you aren't putting a real QB in danger. Darnold is expendable on offense.

Dude, no. There's enough of a drop off at QB that he is in no way expendable. PJ tried to give the game away on his 1st or 2nd snap.

Unfortunately you may be right.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      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.
