I actually felt pretty good at 3-0

them we gagged away the Philly game, and got run over by the Vikings in OT…both at home

then the giants game….man that was about as ugly as it gets…that was where I was pretty much done

But got thru some games, we got to 5-5, with skins at home….that was the game where our season ended

you tankers probably gonna get your way…we won’t win again this year

 

 

They also beat the team with the best record (at the time) Arizona Cardinals. fuging teases, worst in NFL history at that...

I never want to tank til the playoffs are at 0.000%.

I thought Darnold was a pretty good risk.  Highly regarded QB that was the #3 overall pick.   Prospect grade by the NFL was "7.10 - Pro Bowl Talent".  Had NFL size, arm strength and a good college pedigree from a top program.  The Jets franchise was widely known as fairly dysfunctional so maybe he could succeed on the Panthers.  Darnold was still pretty young but he now had 3 years of NFL experience.  

It was a decent gamble to make.  Just didn't work out for a number of reasons (bad OC, porous OL, no strong run game after CMC went down, maybe Sam just didn't have the talent after all).   If it had worked, would have been a bargain for the draft picks we gave up.  But it didn't.  

How as it a good risk? He was one of the worst QBs the last 3 years. Any person could see how this was gonna turn out. It was very predictable.

Is that urban legend or speculation or is there proof?  Asking because I really dont know

It’s honestly a mixed bag because I have seen articles that it was all 12 of the Min. Owners and just a handful but it was all after the Jags spanked the Steelers in the playoffs so naturally people were pissed.

Would you trade a 2, 4 and a 6 for a good young starting QB ?   I think most teams would.  

Darnold just proved not to be any good.  As LinvilleGorge correctly pointed out, he isn't roster caliber at this point.  

The worst thing was the Panthers picking up Darnold's option.  So the team is on the salary cap hook for a big chunk of change for him now.  

No. Not with his statistics. Also if team wound trade for that they are stupid.

Somewhat optimistic... and then we traded for Sam Darnold.

Much more pessimistic than the rest of this board. I still thought Darnold was likely a flash in the pan and I was trying to tell y'all (with great pushback) that we hadn't beaten anyone yet.

.500ish while being competitive week in and week out.

Not sure if I've done this yet to you but I apologize for being such an asshat in my misguided defense of Sam.

I wanted so bad for him to be NOT-who-he-really-is that I ignored the warning signs you were putting out.

It's all good my man. I was wrong about you. I said you'd disappear when Sam flopped and you didn't.

one of the comments from the video referenced a complaint that has been voiced by many on the Huddle:

"OLine where guys are playing a different position every week before they even gain confidence playing ONE position"

Just curious how many different Oline combinations the Panthers have played this season.  I think I heard Sun that Tampa has played 2.

      Draft picks are better for cap management and production always outperforms athleticism over time.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Crixtala · Posted

      all the trades and using PFFs draft rankings and Gemini's analysis: This is a high-value mock draft that effectively uses trade-down strategies to rebuild the Carolina Panthers' defensive interior and add depth to a roster with multiple holes. By turning mid-round capital into a volume of picks, you've secured several "sliding" stars and developmental high-ceiling players. Based on 2026 PFF big board trends and player value, here is the analysis: Draft Grade: A- The Top Picks: Interior Dominance  * 19. Peter Woods (DT, Clemson): Getting Woods at 19 is a steal. Heading into the 2025 season, he was viewed as a potential top-5 talent. While his production dipped slightly, his 4.75 40-yard dash at 315 lbs is elite. He provides the Panthers with a versatile disruptor who can play 3-tech or slide outside.  * 63. Dontay Corleone (DT, Cincinnati): "The Godfather" is one of the best pure nose tackles in the class. Pairing him with Woods creates an immediate identity for the Panthers' front seven. PFF loves his "unmovable" anchor. Securing him at the end of Round 2 after trading down from 51/53 is excellent value. The Mid-Round Steals  * 83. Deontae Lawson (LB, Alabama): Lawson is a high-IQ "green dot" linebacker. Many scouts projected him as a late 1st or early 2nd rounder before an ACL injury in late 2024. Getting a 2-time Alabama captain at 83 to lead the defense is a massive win for culture and stability.  * 130. Drew Allar (QB, Penn State): This is the "high-upside lottery ticket" pick. Allar has prototypical size (6'5", 240 lbs) and a massive arm. His stock fell due to a 2025 ankle injury and inconsistency, but at 130, he’s a low-risk, high-reward backup/successor to Bryce Young if the former No. 1 pick continues to struggle. Trade Analysis & Late Round Value Your strategy of "tier-dropping" (trading 51 for 53/121 and 53 for 63/95) allowed you to stay in the same talent bracket while picking up Kevin Coleman Jr. (WR) and Genesis Smith (S).  * 168. Parker Brailsford (OC, Alabama): Great value for a technical center who can compete for a depth spot.  * 169. Tacario Davis (CB, Washington): At 6'4", he is a rare physical specimen at corner. PFF and other boards often have him as a Day 2 talent; getting him in the 5th round (via the 161 trade) is arguably your best value pick of the draft. Summary of Picks | Pick | Player | Position | School | Analysis | | 19 | Peter Woods | DT | Clemson | Elite traits; Top-10 ceiling. | | 63 | Dontay Corleone | DT | Cincinnati | Best run stuffer in the class. | | 83 | Deontae Lawson | LB | Alabama | Vocal leader; sliding due to injury. | | 121 | Kevin Coleman Jr. | WR | Missouri | Speed threat to complement the room. | | 130 | Drew Allar | QB | Penn State | High-ceiling developmental passer. | | 169 | Tacario Davis | CB | Washington | Massive reach/length for a late flyer. | Final Verdict You addressed the trenches aggressively and took advantage of "injury discounts" on Lawson and Allar. The only minor critique is that the roster still feels thin at Edge (until the 211 pick), but the sheer volume of talent added to the interior DL and Secondary compensates for it.
