Darnold Time

[JawnyBlaze]

I honestly think he’ll do ok. Broncos have a solid defense but our OL is infinitely better than when Darnold was starting last year and Darnold’s problem is getting skittish under pressure. When he has time he’s a decent QB

[saX man]

If someone told you at the start of last season Darnold would be our starting QB come December 2022, you'd probably think, "well hey, sounds like he just needed a new team" and not this lol

The sequence has, no joke, been:

Darnold to PJ to Cam 2.0 to PJ again, Cam again, Baker Mayfield, oh, and then PJ again, and then Baker again, and then..back to Darnold.  I'm dizzy.

Yeah and I remember more than a few folks on here wanting Hackett for HC of the Panthers 

….the hot OC at the time….tough being a HC in NFL 

Wilson isnt helping Hackett any either

It's actually the opposite. Sam was one of the worst QBs in the league when he was not under pressure. He just happened to be even worse when he was under pressure.

I'm confused... this motivates Darnold how?

Because the Jets gave up on him for Zach Wilson, who is actually worse. It's just interesting timing for Wilson to probably get benched and for Sam to come off the bench, media will probably make note of it, ask about it

this fanbase has no further interest in seeing Baker behind center under any circumstances

The same was once said about Teddy and Sam though

Darnold’s “hot start” came at the expense of CMC’s broken body

Once CMC went down the wheels fell off immediately 

I’m guessing we see a similar game plan to the one we saw in LA with PJ

The funny thing will be your head exploding if he goes off Sunday

The Jets are hosting Fields this weekend

No one gives a f*ck about Sam

Because the Jets are back where they were when he was there... They traded him and drafted another QB who is arguably playing worse than Darnold did when he was there.

Lol still not sure how that motivates him to play better though.  Darnold got benched here for a broken Cam Newton, couldn't beat out trash Baker Mayfield, and will probably get benched again for PJ Walker.  

Hell if anything Darnold got even worse leaving the Jets.  So really he has no reason to be paying attention to Wilson/Jets.  And I doubt he is anyway, it has no relevance to him.

Panthers since 2018...

Cam Newton -> Kyle Allen -> Taylor Heinicke -> Cam Newton -> Kyle Allen -> Will Grier -> Teddy Bridgewater -> PJ Walker -> Teddy Bridgewater -> Sam Darnold -> PJ Walker -> Cam Newton -> Sam Darnold -> Baker Mayfield -> PJ Walker -> Baker Mayfield -> Sam Darnold 

Darnold has taken over the starting job 3 times in 2 seasons.

WE SUCK

Fields might have to site that one out. He hurt is non-throwing shoulder on Sunday. That injury is a bigger deal for a QB like Fields who wants to use his legs and arm to beat you.

I would’ve been curious to see Sam behind a competent OL but Sam seemed to be worse last season whenever he had more time 

More time equals more time to think which for Sam does not lead to good things 

You may have hit on something. It would be great to see the Panthers have a hurry up type game plan installed for him Sunday.

Darnold was one of the worst QBs when NOT under pressure last year. 
O-line will do nothing. Darnold will be Darnold. I guarantee he will throw a few picks.
