How hard is it to get a QB in here that can throw downfield? Like surely some of these college guys who went undrafted but put up crazy stats can throw the damn ball down field. At this point the Panthers should be bad, but exciting. Not bad and also horrendously boring

if you listened to the presser... doesnt sound like PJ is getting near the field Sunday. At least Wilks deflectio and tone gave you no confidence in an active PJ this weekend

Well he's in a pickle now isn't he. Guess he should have taken the time to aired it out more with PJ. Seeing as he's the only qb left at the time that knew most of the play book and a practice squad backup why not?

Wait, PJ'S now injured you say? From trying to air it out you say? Well now what will we do?  We need entertainment dammit!

Just make Eason our QB.  It's not like we do anything special anyone even needs to learn.  There's no system to acclimate into, it's just all hand offs, screen dumps, flats, and corners. 

And for some reason they're written in some insane code that takes players 2 months to memorize. It's like asking the players to run basic preseason plays but process them in the huddle in the most round about way imaginable

Its not that PJ can't because he has.   Wilks said that was the gameplan that he wanted.  The positive yardage throws will come later.

I've said this before about PJ.  He's got a active arm but couldn't hit a bull in the butt with a banjo.  His accuracy is poor.  Throwing downfield with PJ is like throwing a punt.   

Eason at least looks the part.  He did ok until his Int.  I feel bad for the guy because he really gave us a small spark until the Int.   I would ride with Eason this weekend.  He can't be any worse than PJ.

I mean, basically all 31 other teams could scheme up some basic pass plays for PJ between the 20s vs a meh team. 

I mean PJ is what he is.  What we witnessed on Sunday was something uniquely bad that is separate from PJ Walker being a weak QB.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      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.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By Icege · Posted

      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.

      Clowney released

      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.
