Rhule believes he can develop Sam. I believe him. Until CMC went down, and the oline failed to protect him, he was showing confidence, and improvement. 

I don't blame Sam for the regression. The line couldn't protect him, and receivers were dropping passes. 

Just like Rhule hasn't given up on his development, neither should you. 

Delhomme was how old when he became a competent NFL starter? 

I'm not claiming Sam is the answer. Just saying the team and the coaches have an investment in him, and are going to develop him as much as they can to get a return on their investment.

If Cam works out I  actually wouldn't mind hanging on to Sam. I think he could learn a lot from Cam in how to be a leader and learning how to handle pressure. But I'm not willing to excuse his play this season.

In hindsight I think much of his good play early in the season was the result of coddling and minimal expectations for him. With the supporting cast we have he wasn't asked to do a lot. He's definitely shown flashes. I thought his last drive against the Vikings was phenomenal. I just think as a 4 year starter we (and he) can't expect to have everything set up picture perfect for him just to play decent football.

Is it challenging to do so?

It’s challenging reading posts where posters still think Sam can be something he’s very obviously not and still make excuses after excuses for his very shitty play after 4 years in the league. At some point people need to just accept that he sucks and move on.

4 years he is still the same sucky player he has always been. Continue your blind support I will continue to live in reality. Sam is a really bad football player.

Might as well, we're going to be paying for him next season anyway. And giving up that draft pick next season.

It's just the same thing we saw with Teddy last year. You can't really judge a QB until opposing DCs get some film to study on him in that system with that supporting cast. That's when the truth comes out. The truth with Teddy was predictably very mediocre. The truth with Darnold was predictably disastrous. Why we were expecting something else is what concerns me.

Sam can't read defenses.. After 4 years I can't blame that on anybody but him...

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      Moved to Tuesday, not Wednes because of scheduling with Flyers game or something in Philly. But I don't feel good about the Heat.  It has been a great season regardless.  Team just been playing so hard to move up since a bad start and just picked a bad time to get gassed.  It's like almost everyone is shooting cold at the same time even wide open shots.   Maybe atmosphere and playoffs kick off a spark.  I'd rather be in a series than a one and done though. The team has a good foundation to build on regardless of what happens.

      I'm more of a Hornets fan than I am a Panthers fan, I've watched a ton of this franchise the last 20 years. I post all day on RealGM. Don't get your hopes up, this is setting us up for a 20 point loss to the Heat and a swift end to the season. Spoelstra has always solved us, the Heat have two bigs that we have no answers for, and Jaquez is a certified Hornets killer that always plays us like he has a grudge on us. The Hornets being a top 10 team all year and a top 5 team the last half of the year and then flat out missing the playoffs is incredibly on brand for this crappy, horrendous franchise. I would love to be proven wrong. But I've suffered enough to know this little scheme the team is pulling. We finished 2 games out of 6th and guaranteed playoffs, and we blew two games to the Pacers and Nets earlier in the season, when they weren't trying to win. It's just who we are, Hornets DNA
