SAM DARNOLDQB, CAROLINA PANTHERS

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports "some" within the Panthers organization want Sam Darnold to get a chance to start in 2022. 

Darnold missed most of the season's first half a serious ankle injury. He's reportedly fully healthy but not part of the team's starting QB conversation as P.J. Walker and Baker Mayfield takes turns being terrible. Darnold, one of the NFL's worst quarterbacks by any measure in 2021, could wind up starting a meaningless late-season game for the most down-bad franchise in pro sports.

If they legitimately want to see that again they should be removed from the building.

these are the people that should be first up for the unemployment line

Though as a person who wants a top 2 draft pick I am all for it.

The stadium is empty enough. I think what few fans do bother to show up to games will take a pass if they hear Sam will be stating again. On the other hand we're paying him well over 18 million dollars to practice and wear a headset. He's listening the plays coming in on gameday and earning $18,000,000. He was evaluated at being worth that kind of money by Fitt, unless you think Rhule is responsible for that as well, so we should put Sam out there and see that Fitt magic.

Honestly who the hell cares enough in that building to make a big deal over which of our xfl level QBs start?

People that should not be here employed when we draft a new QB that is who. 

Just rotate the garbage and make it through the year. These are probably the same people that said Sam was basically a rookie last year lol.

Damn this franchise needs some new blood instilled ASAP.

I won't be surprised if he's in by the second half Sunday.

Gotta see who's our back up for the future

The back-up business is a serious game, I have you know!

Per Panthers insider Dam Sarnold.

Some want to see Sam, not because he is good, but because Baker and PJ have been bad. 
 

Since variables have changed from last year (HC, OC, o-line), they probably want to see if Sam is just as bad as last year, or an improvement over Baker and PJ with the same variables. 
 

I wouldn’t mind it for the above reason.
 

At this point, the QB’s on this team are auditioning for, AT BEST, a future backup role, or situational starting role while the next QB is developing.

I have no issue with that.  We've got to make a choice on whom we keep.  The only fair way is to work all 3 quarter backs.  In my opinion we've seen PJ enough to make a comparison between him and the others.  I would just let Baker and Sam battle the rest of the season out.
