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.

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.

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.

      First OTA's Monday and Tuesday

      If you only look at measurables, Mingo and Legette might seem similar.  But when you actually look at them and watch them play, they aren't close to the same.   And this is coming from someone who is skeptical about Legette, although ultimately I believe he will work out.  I've just always disagreed with the comparisons to Mingo.   Mingo tests better than he plays/runs, whereas Legette plays/runs as well as he tests.

      Where will the wins come from? (my early predictions)

      By Mage · Posted

      As bad as things were with the Panthers last year, we still had 4 other games outside of the 2 we won that we came very close to winning.  Could throw the Falcons game in there too, it was tied going into the 4th. I'm not really sure what to expect this year.  I don't think we'll make the playoffs.  However, we play in a very weak division where no team has a standout QB.  On paper, our OL should be good, and could be great if Ikem improves.  That alone could help mask a lot of problems on offense.  Should allow us to run the ball better.  Even if Bryce doesn't improve, the OL should at the very least give him more time to make the easy throws underneath and let a guy like Legette work his magic after the catch. And I think this defense in a 2nd year with Evero should, at the very least, be in the top 16.  I'm expecting our run defense to be as good as it has been in years. I think this team could push for 7-8 wins.  But it could also finish with 2 wins again.  That is just how the league works.  Jets offense was miserable last year, and yet they still won 7 games.   We won't really get a good feel of it until after the preseason, and even then, who knows.
