Mayfield or Eason.  If you're talking Mayfield I agree.

If you are talking Eason, what harm would it do to give him this week to show what he can do?  Absolutely none, unless you still think we can compete for a playoff spot. 

Mayfield and Baker.  Neither needs to play another snap for us.

With the Jets he was behind a terrible oline. Had Anderson as a wideout with basically a shitty group  around him.

CMC healthy which he used effectively untill the injury. Don't be suprised if he wins a few and dashes your dreams.

Middle of October and the QBs and DBs are all practice squadders already. Ahead of schedule this year. Vinny Testaverde should be starting by December.

Vinny would be interesting but I don't think they allow walkers on the football field.  Vinny was ancient when he played in 2010 and wasn't mobile back than.  

🤣

Don't be shocked if he wins a few now.

Can you imagine what the pundits and Huddlers would do if Sam (or even Eason for that matter) got hot and led us to a 9-2 or 8-3 finish and we somehow sneek into the playoffs? 😂

I don't know if the board would rally around him or want to try to run him out of town for messing the draft position.

Sam has never played behind a good O Line his entire career. This years Panthers offensive line will be by far the best he has ever played with statistically. Not even close.

Darnolds biggest issues were caused by a disastrous offensive line last year. We actually have a good unit this year. What a Panthers thing it would be for Sam to come in and win a few games, thrashing our hopes of the number one pick. 

Or go on a big run and make the playoffs and he emerges as our very own Josh Allen and we have our franchise QB…. Lol.. kind of

I don't anyone said he was the future, but he damn sure looked better than PJ "I can't hit a bull in the butt with a banjo" Walker.  

Sam sucks we agree but you're going to base Eason off a 1/2 a quarter.  Come on.  At least, give it a complete game with a week with the starting team before you trash him to the junk pile.  He's practice squad for a reason and expectations are pretty low.  Honestly, I'd rather take a good look at him going into the offseason.  We're going to need a competent backup. 

 

Eason has played more than half a quarter in the NFL.  Sam is awful, but he's probably better than Eason.  I never (and will never) made an argument for PJ.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
