Normally I'd say about 0 but Sam is terrible and Fitts has previous experience with his team throwing a 3rd round rookie right to the wolves so I'm saying 50% (voted 50-75). Also, less risk starting a rookie QB if we have a dominant OL and some solid weapons, which it's looking like we will. Dak is another example.

 

Won't really know anything until camp though, he could look horrible and not ready at all once the pads come on. Who knows.

Ok, so Fhule should decide. We got Icky but we didn't even really get to see what Brady Christensen had to offer until way late and Rhule admittedly said that may have a mistake.

Trusting Rhule to evaluate QB readiness is lol. Remember he kept Sam from playing in the preseason, coddling the dude. The NFL has long figured Sam out and will put him in situations they know he can't handle.

Time to move on from past mistakes and embrace the future by commiting to your new franchise QB. THAT will show Corral that you are serious about reaching his potential.

All this coddling guys want to do thinking they're saving Matt from football is ridiculous. He'll learn more, get up to speed, getting reps not watching Sam.

Brees, Brady, Rodgers, Mahomes

It appears that the Panthers intend to run more this season. 

If true, that would bode well for Sam Darnold.  If Sam makes any progress with in-game decisions he could produce another mini win streak (like last season).  Matt Rhule and Scott Fitterer would likely favor this outcome, as it would provide an "We were right all along" narrative for their trade w/the Jets. 

With this in mind, chances are Rhule and company are going to give Sam Darnold every opportunity to succeed early this season. 

However, if Matt Corral is all that and a bag of chips (clearly heads and shoulders above Darnold) well, all bets are off. 

TL/DR:  Everybody loves a winner!

Don’t forget Marshall led or was right there with the leader in preseason receiving yardage and well, it didn’t translate well. 

Oddly, Sam Darnold also didn’t really play in the preseason 

Robbie Anderson earned 85% of offensive snaps in the regular season.  TMJ 36%

I don’t think issue was TMJ and his gait

Rule is unpredictable. There's no telling. I mean it doesn't really matter if Corral looks or is better, Rule is going to role with whoever he's comfortable with. 

Especially since he's been pretty much lost the majority of his control so far this offseason. His narcissism is like a ticking time bomb waiting for him to start micromanaging again.

Sam simply completing a pass would be considered "progress" at this point.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
