Apparently even Ellis is trying to post pro Sam Darnold fluff. The man is the Deputy Doofy of NFL quarterbacks. Get him out of here 👉💨

 

Optionality sometimes leads to misdirection. Last season they played with optionality and pulled Cam for Sam and interchanged and switched instead of making a clear statement.

If Sam was back why are you running a two QB system? If Cam is better @, then why don't you just roll with him for the rest of the season? They tried to go down two different roads simultaneously. Bonkers. Confusing.

If you are decisive and direct YOU know you didn't move a pick and next year's third for somebody your NOT going to play!?

Turn the page. Sam can if he wants to be a great mentor, starting QB on this team?! Everybody KNOWS who's job that is now. Why move in two different directions instead of one.

Everybody should know their role. Matt Corral came here to START, being a starting QB is how you begin that relationship. Everybody understands and works toward one goal, not two damn directions.

Everybody knows who the starter is and who the backup should be this season. If this is a rebuild then your pieces should be there in place. Why play/lose games without giving the kids some exercise?

Not the full picture on that one. Ouch indeed tho

I like John's content not a call out or criticism just showing where we're at now. Worse than Teddy Bridgewater. Let's just flush this and get on with it.

At some point we all have to acknowledge that we are likely to Sam this year until something changes. If it was analytical then ok. If he was just being a little optimistic then ok. If it was Rhule level goofy then I would absolutely agree with you. I really haven't heard much from Ellis that wasn't at least a decent take or angle. Solid source that is respectable, agree or disagree. He is critical but fair. I just haven't seen anything outside of that.

Most wish we would but the new hope is that is what this year is for us.

Well give him a clipboard and some pom poms and let's see what Matt Corral has.

    • You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.
    • I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.
    • Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
