Sam gets worse every year.  That’s where letting him work on it gets you.  

Worst starter for 4 years in the NFL.   You somehow need 5.  

I mean it is a fact the dude never had an OL yet.  Never

I am not disagreeing with you as my first thought when I heard we were considering him was “turnover machine”.  Pretty much gone that way.

His inability to make the correct read on obvious plays is way more worrisome for me

He had a OL at USC.  Yet nothing but fumbles and INTs. 

And he had time in NY where the OL play wasn’t disastrous.  Everyone tries to define his NY career as all being like his final year. It wasn’t.  

Sam can’t read a field.   Can’t stay in rhythm and go throw when he should Z Giving him time leads to disaster too.  Basically all be can do is dink and dunk.  Ask more of that and Sam does Sam things.  Always has.  Always will.

I am with you here.  I don’t see anyone saying he is the answer at this point

Well, the GM/HC still seem to be rolling pretty hard today towards Sam.  And as noted in the presser, they were different with Teddy at this time last year.

They may have also realized telling the world you're moving on from someone hurts limited trade value lol

The fact they've already talked a bit about Pickett suggests nobody thinks Darnold is their long term answer.  Fitt even talked about they believe in Darnold but are still gonna look at QB in the offseason. Not what you said when you're committed to your starter tbh.

It can be fixed. Tiki Barber went from hands of Crisco to hands of glue after one offseason. Not saying I want to keep Sam, just that it can be done. Thanks fantasy football for useless facts stuck in my memory. 

Adrian Peterson also had a huge fumbling problem that he got a handle on later in his career.  But being Tiki Barber and Peterson, who is a GOAT level talent at RB and being Sam Darnold are different.  I don’t think he’ll be able to do it.  Maaaaaybe, but when the bullets fly and huge dudes are charging at you, he’s just going to revert back to same old Sam.  He doesn’t have that factor to him.

Naw man…Teddy wasn’t it man

Yes, I know.  Just like Sam isn’t.  And Sam is much worse than Teddy. 
 

but Teddy wasn’t our QB this season.   So why are they forced into Sam next year.  Teddy was under contract to be the dude this season.

They rolled the dice and came up empty.  Colts did the same with Wentz (who cost a first) and in some ways the Rams did so with Stafford.  Giving up 2 firsts and a third?  They better win it.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By jb2288 · Posted

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
