He has a fair distance to go to prove he is even a serviceable backup.  What most teams want most out of a backup is somebody that can come in, run a limited version of the offense efficiently, and NOT lose the game by turning the ball over. 

People are drooling all over themselves because a guy with a four-year track record of turning the ball over didn't turn the ball over on November 27, 2022.

He was talking about Mike White from the Jets.

Yeah but didn't he not really play QB in HS?

I can't remember.  But that's lots of reps to make up. Maybe just maybe he has caught up?

He was recruited as a LB by some schools:

"Quarterback Sam Darnold, a San Clemente High School prospect with fewer than 800 career varsity passing yards, committed to USC on Friday"

 I hated that trade the moment it was announced.  Never ever draft or trade for a USC qb.

He’s a pocket passer who threw for like 150 yards. Folks shouldn’t be counting this as a good game from Sam. 

He's a 'pocket passer' (who has a 46 yard TD run in the NFL) who had a 103 QB rating yesterday and scored 2 TDs without turning the ball over in a resounding win. I'm not sure what more he could do. 

They handcuffed him like they've been handcuffing Mayfield and Walker.

I wouldn't take him this offseason. I'd rather get a decent journeyman game manager(Garoppolo, Brissett, Heinickie, Bridgewater, etc) if I am gonna go with a stop gap option. 

I hear you but no thanks to anymore journeymen for me that will just be one more poor bastard for us to eviscerate haha. Draft a rookie in the first and live with the results.

Oh I am not advocating for us to NOT draft a rookie QB, I am just saying if I am going journeyman, just take a guy that has been a bunch of places and had modest success or better at most.

No more gambling on busts or damaged goods. That's fool's gold.

I don't care that Williams goes to USC. My concern is if he's a system guy since he's only played for Lincoln Riley in college.

My concern is that a lot of his game is bullshit sandlot plays, so he'd have to test extremely well at the Combine for that to translate to the NFL.

We have seen Sam play NFL QB for five seasons now? And we have seen him play long stretches here. He did this against one of the absolute worst teams in the NFL right now. This performance is nothing to write home about just like I didn’t get overhyped about a few good games he had to start the season last year, or the Kyle Allen four game stretch, etc. If he keeps this going I will settle for the “he’s being handcuffed” by our coaching staff once again.

      No more mistakes on draft day...

      By Jmac · Posted

      Panthers cannot afford to overlook the defense anymore in the draft. I wouldn't  invest a number number one pick on a QB again in this draft...always a roll of the dice. To many areas of dire need. Choose Dl, Edge or LB for our first round pick. Add another Oline player in the middle rounds. No more PROJECTS or INJURED players please. The QB situation is dicey. Will he ever emerge due to his limited physical abilities or not? They obviously need a plan B on the roster. I hate to say it, but maybe a veteran like Winston for Canales to work with would be an option short term. This season is going down the drain fast.

      I did not watch the game just the breakdowns. I haven’t watched any defensive stuff of us.    Obviously did not know that. But no designated Hail Mary thrower, Bryce remains alone at the ‘top’.

      So...Those 2 Point Conversions

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      If we were a top offense, I’d agree but we aren’t so our chance of getting 3 2 pointers is basically 0. There were two calls. Go for 2, which I understand but don’t agree based on our futility, and the actual play call, which was awful both times. Play action fake with a leak out and/or rollout to increase the number of opportunities like a QB run in or multiple targets. We, unfortunately, limited ourselves to one chance and after the first run was stuffed you’d think we wouldn’t do the same thing twice but we did and got the same result.
