To those of you worried about Ichey just lol. His run blocking is what that side was beyond weak at. And having guys pass rush Sam should increase his play, it's where he puts up his best numbers...not that it will be desirable in the end.

With a Sam quality QB, just run the damn ball and don't over think it. Kind of like having a rookie but without the hope of improvement.

It won’t fix what is in between Sam’s ears.  All Sam’s problems exist with time and protect.  Always have.  Since college. 

I agree and think the same about Cam.  When you get pressure on either of them early in a game they start pressing and their footwork goes to crap causing the bad passes and poor decisions with the football.

Cam’s just shot.  Cam always dealt well with pressure.  It’s just a DNA thing. 

Sam makes some of his worse decisions with time and protection.  The first read has to be there and be open or you always will regret Sam Darnold in the end.

Darnold is partly why I didn't put a usual $20 on the Panthers winning the SB thus year, even at listed 75/1 or 100/1 odds.

Now watch them actually do it. 🙄

If they do that with Sam at QB, I will relapse back into the annoying Darnold Fanboy that @kungfoodude, @LinvilleGorge, and @hepcatlove so much.

Meaning....that won't happen in a BILLION YEARS.

Sam is D-O-N-E not only as the Panthers QB but as a QB, period.

Those who say that he'd be a solid backup?

Show me the stats / proof that lead you to that laughable conclusion....

The guy was crying on the field last year, I don't know how they don't do something during or after the draft.

He isn't a starter but he could be a backup. He will get another shot, just at a much lower pay and much less expectations.

I don't agree.  The only thing he'd be good at right now is PR and holding a clipboard while fetching coffee for the coaches and Gatorade for the team.

I have a feeling once he's done stealing the Panthers' money, he'll fall out of the league entirely. 

All the tools, none of the brains.

Isn't that what a backup does when they have an established starter?

Yeah he isn't good and I don't think he ever improves. I could still see a team paying him very little to hold a clipboard and chase 'improvement' for a year.

Would be a waste of money but if a team wants a glorified (and expensive) male cheerleader, then by all means...they can have him.

We will be paying most if not all of that this year. If he even can keep a backup spot it is going to be for cheap, like we should have done with him.

Yeah, that is a QB I would love to see us play against. That would be fun. Other than that, fug'em.

I don't know if Darnold will be good enough to take us anywhere this year but the team will be much improved and Darnold will benefit immensely if he starts. Much of his issues last year was rushing his footwork to get the ball out before he got clobbered. The old clean pocket stat is skewed by how many times Darnold actually had a clean pocket compared to how often he was pressured. If you get pressured more than not you feel pressure when it isn't there or try to press and make a play that isn't there because this was your best chance with no pressure. 

His issues are mental not physical and yes they can be fixed. I do it all the time. For those wanting a top 5 finish, it isn't going to happen.  We will be better than that.

And I am not going to argue back in forth in May about something that we won't know about before the fall. Who knows if Sam will even be the starter. But feel free to pin it so you can refer to it if we suck badly. I really think that we will be much better no.matter who is at QB this year. We actually have NFL coaches now.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.

      Sounds like Veesaar is entering the draft. He could always test the waters and pull out and return but without him our big men look like a serious liability. Better do something in the portal. If they don't do something about this portal madness my days as a college sports fan are probably numbered. This bullshit of having a nearly entirely new team every season is gonna get old fast.
