Sam gets credit for listening to Gucci Mane. I've never heard bad things about him on a personal level most of his teammates say he's a great guy. That doesn't make a franchise QB though there are plenty of stories like this of guys with similar backgrounds who couldn't put it all together. If it does not happen this year it isn’t going to that's just the reality of his situation. Start this weekend by getting the ball to DJ Moore and not turning the ball over. I imagine Carroll and his staff will be watching plenty of the Sam Darnold career "lowlights" to challenge him.

He's a bad QB but I have zero issues with Sam Darnold the person and wish him nothing but the best.

Imagine having to go to work every day and the success of your career being led by Adam Gase and Matt Rhule as the 2 coaches in charge of your development to this point. It hurts to even type that.

Imagine having Sam Darnold's bank account. I'd manage.

I dunno man - I've put up with some abjectly awful bosses for a lot less money than Sam is making.  He gonna be alright.

It'd be cool to see Sam go through a Geno Smith like Career Renaissance in a few years after he's had time to be a backup for a bit.

It's not all about money. These guys are competitors too. You get paid by developing. If Sam could have been developed into a mid range starting NFL QB, that's 250m over the course of a career. That's a whole lot of cheddar.

That is a two way street man. Sam is just a bad QB and has been since school. Nothing has changed there. I couldn't imagine being tied to a QB like Sam after climbing to the top of my profession. In these cases they were all terrible so it's just a puddle of sad outside of bank accounts. 

Maybe he could revitalize his career but he needs sometime in a non-dysfunctional place to be a backup for a little bit with a good offensive staff in place. I just personally don't see it with his issues. Other than his splash plays, there isn't a lot of positives in his game.

It'd be cool to see him do it this year.

 

Sammy Franchise could go undefeated and the Panthers could make a deep playoff run on his back.

      The Ringer NFC Offseason podcast

      By frankw · Posted

      The division is most certainly wide open. The Bucs are a problem but Baker Mayfield is and will remain his own worst enemy it's a matter of when not if he has a bad game or even a stretch of bad games. As far as the Panthers they have done an admirable job of trying to address needs as best they can without pulling a Scott Fitterer and getting desperate which has only made us worse off in the past. On the Bryce subject all anyone can really say at this point is we just have to wait and see. This is the year and despite what the Panthers may say publicly doubling down and going all in on WR is as good as any sign anyone should need that they expect Bryce Young to have a very productive and convincing season. The pieces are in place. They aren't perfect but nothing ever will be. Regardless there's honestly no excuse for this staff and this team not to be able to compete in this iteration of the NFC South. Also just want to say this because I can say the hyper defensive posts already being made in here and it's probably going to be a season with highs and lows again but hopefully more highs for sure. But just because there is dialogue about a position group or a player that challenges your preconceived notions or makes you uncomfortable does not make it "hate" or "anti" this player or that player. For some people who talk a lot about nuance you would think this wouldn't need to be stated but that's where we're at.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      If I was a coach I would preach "Don't let the refs decide the game" because as soon as you let the NFL the chance to help their bottom dollar whether it be teams that make most money or gambling then they will screw the team that doesn't fit their bottom line......is it rigged? No but do they try and make certain narratives happen abso-freakin-lutley. As I stated in a previous thread NFL players are the ones that SHOULD have all guaranteed contracts but the boot lickers on this forum disagree and argue for the billionaires in this world who own these teams, sheep

      I wont go quite so far as to say games are rigged.  You wouldnt have to work hard to convince me there was the occasional thumb on the scale but outright rigged? nah.   but collusion on the rest of the "business" of football, sure.  No one really believes that the only time the 32 owners act as one is during the negotiations of the CBA do they?
