No bro. We benched Sam and the offense came to life. Albeit minimal life but better. 

Hell, even Robbie could catch again. 

Dude was on a 20 quarters without a TD streak..that's wild. Amazingly we still beat Atlanta during that span. He did manage to throw 2 his last game though. 

Even if we build the line, they're going to blitz him the entire game. 

Funny thing is, I legitimately thought we fleeced the Jets at one point. I have zero faith in Sam. And when the hits started most of his interceptions were threw when he had time. BUT hey that's our QB. They still believe they can fix him based off his first 3 games. We'll see.

The Panthers problem isn't quarterback. Darnold could be a Pro Bowl player with an adequate offensive line. Sam Darnold, Brady, Rodgers, doesn't matter. The Panthers would've been relative garbage with anyone. Add in the fact that McCaffrey was hurt and a dude was calling plays who would be hard pressed to be a Division 2 offensive coordinator.

No.  Darnold is not a Pro Bowl player, regardless of line.  No one has been able to teach Darnold to make decisions more quickly, which is his problem.  The three R's.  Read, Recognize, React.  He's a second slow on that and in the NFL, that's the difference between a Pro Bowl QB and backup.

that was the same guy who said it was most efficient to take a QB after the 1st round in another thread, I’d disregard

At the NFL level it all happens so quickly. The read is presnap. Once the ball is snapped, you basically have a split second to recognize what the D is doing. Everything that happens after that is pure reaction. If you're still thinking it's going to happen too slow.

Yes!  Is the Oline a problem? Sure it is, but QB is a bigger problem. If anybody needs proof just look at the Bengals. Their line is just as bad, but the difference is they have Burrow.

I wonder if McAdoo had been the OC or QB coach last year if he would have been able to convince the decision makers not to trade for Sam and/or the 5th year option.
 

If the Panthers had just rolled with Teddy, this team would be in a much better position right now with both space cap and draft picks (#38 pick for Sam is gone).

Rhule has been terrible at developing any player, not just Darnold. Most players on this team regressed. I think there may have been a window to fix Darnold with competent coaching, but that window is likely closed. Gase was terrible. Rhule has been worse. McAdoo, who knows what he can do, but I hold no illusions he will be able to correct Darnolds flaws. At this point, he's an 18m paperweight.

Truth. Shaq is probably the only guy on the roster who I might honestly argue has improved under Rhule. Everyone else seems to be about the same or worse.

    • Jake in his prime was a gutsy QB. But just like with even someone like Cam. Father time is undefeated. It's very unfortunate we have a guy who is only 24 years old that has an equivalent arm to that. Absolutely blows my mind that our brain trust lacked the basic common sense to value arm talent when making a massive trade with ramifications for years to come. Unforgivable incompetence.
    • Jake, to me, will always hold a special place in my heart.  I really feel like for his era, he deserved way more love than he got, and should’ve had more than his one Pro Bowl.  He was a gamer with an underrated rocket arm. but let me tell you, after his Tommy John surgery, when he came back, I can’t remember who it was against, but it think it was a division game, he threw a ball that was supposed to be a throw away, as I think he was under pressure, and that poo floated forever and died right at the boundary where a defender ran over and picked it off.  One of the worst throws I ever saw.  His arm just wasn’t the same after the injury and surgery.  All that to say, that’s what almost every Bryce throw to the sidelines looks like to me.
    • And again, when watching him in college he had one distinct trait that I feel makes a franchise QB - on those plays when everything breaks down around him, he creates one on his own.  He doesn’t rely on or need everyone else.  That play last night on the final drive where he was getting sacked and threw it to Diggs before his knee hit the ground?  He does similar things all the time.  Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, etc., they all do it.  It’s what made Cam so special. but we picked a guy that’s the opposite of that.  He desperately needs someone else to make a play for him because he can’t.  Even that play yesterday on 4th down to Horn.  That wasn’t a great pass.  The defender was late and came down to make a play in the ball and Bryce threw it high and outside where Horn had to leave his feet and really use strong hands to catch it.  We relied on a 5’9” rookie playing in his first pro game to make THAT catch at THAT time bc of the early turnovers and a not great throw.  Crazy.
