If Darnold is out multiple weeks what’s our options (Don’t say Cam)

They won't do anything. PJ will play untill Sam is cleared. Morgan will stay his backup. Heavy on the run again with PJ, limit his pass attempts. We aren't going far this season anyway so whats the point.

Tough schedule coming up and it will not be easy to win many of those games. Be competitive and hope for the best

Do Sam Darnold and Teddy Bridgewater suck?

The coaches believed they were good. 

Dude..my post wasn’t about the panthers

The cowboys are rolling with Rush, Seahawks Geno fuging Smith, Saints probably Siemen, Jets going with THE Mike White (tho nice debut), Texans with god awful Mills, I mean even fuging Rivera is sticking with Heinecke in Washington…

all these teams think their backup is better, but you know better? That’s a creepy sort of attachment…Cam is DONE, he threw it in the dirt driving NE fans mad last year. We wouldn’t be better than 4-4 with him, time to move on.

Actually, what I did was question your appeal to authority fallacy. 

If we agree that Cam Newton was bad last year, then why are you celebrating a performance that was a worse version of that?

Some guy named Mike White just threw for 400 yards and 3 touchdowns for the Jets and defeated the Bengals. It's a damn shame the best we could come up with was PJ Walker. No free passes for Fitterer or Rhule.

Quite the day for backups. Rush won against Minnesota. Trevor Siemian saved the day for New Orleans.

I am not celebrating anything. Cam isn’t on a team right now despite multiple teams playing with back ups. That’s multiple franchises, not just the Panthers. Personally, I consider that more validation than all the huddlers creating threads to bring back Cam combined.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
