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.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
