he's earned it. he's just not cut out for the pressure.

 

Oh come on. Making any type of definitive statement, over 2 15sec clips?

 

I mean, Sam dropped a ball as he was playing with it. And somehow it has turned into all this? I would hazzard a guess that Sam is not the first QB to mishandle a football while playing around. 

 

There is enough evidence of Sam's inadequacies. There is no reason to fabricate negativity, out of nothing,

Rhule still coddling the 5th year pro. I saw no edge in those practice clips

 

What does that ever mean? What the hell is “edge” and how does it pertain to him actually playing like a 3rd overall pick? 
All I care about is him playing better, being edgey does nothing. 
The competition is great. Still don’t think he has it and 4 bag years seems to prove it.

He's been rumored to have a very Southern Cali type of personality, maybe he is trying to change that a bit to up his "leadership".

Who knows, but he's always seemed to me to have a "water off a ducks back" kinda attitude.

There has been lots of talk about Corral and the RPO which focuses on limiting progressions to just a couple of reads and how Corral might struggle to get through reads in a more Pro style offense. I think limiting reads might actually benefit Sam too though. Make the primary read, then search for the check-down, if its not there run or toss the ball away. 

Simple progressions might help Darnold and Corral both run this offense. That said you want a guy who can do it all and isn't limited especially if the OL is allowing time to make all the reads and progressions.

He doesn't get the benefit of the doubt. There's no reason to give it to him. Until he proves otherwise, he's inept. Every goof and blunder is only going to solidify that opinion from most people.

I mean him changing anything is better than nothing I guess.

Yeah bringing in QB competition because he sucked last year isn't exactly a type of adversity, it's just cause and effect.

Sam Darnold said he is "confident" that he "can be one of the best quarterbacks in the league."

Darnold has to have this mentality, but at this point, he might not be the best quarterback on a depth chart that consists of a rookie who fell to the third round and a couple of backups. Darnold acknowledged he needs to improve his footwork to reach his goal, saying his feet were "loose" and "chaotic" at times last season. With the Panthers seemingly ready to move on, Darnold will have to come out of the gates hot to keep his starting job.

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.
