Today proved that coaching matters and Sam has had terrible coaching since his rookie year. I don’t think he’s a future franchise guy but I would love to keep him as our back up QB for the right price 

Sam Darnold will have these last few games to impress the Panthers brain trust, so his future remaining here is in his own hands.

Omg, not the if Sam Darnold had a good coach he’d be good argument again.

 

maybe he’s only had bad coaches because good coaches don’t want him

This is total BS. More times than not, the NFL hurts young QBs coming into the league than help. Most of the time they hurt their development beyond repair. You cant with a straight face say Darnold has had the coaching around him to put him in the best position to succeed. Its just simple minded to say he always sucked. Yes right now he isnt a good starting QB. It could be that he never was a good starting QB or he was set up to fail from the start. Since coaching is the biggest factor for a young QB, I would say it is more likely the latter and it would take tremendous coaching right now to repair him, if he even is repairable.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
