Wilks has stated plain as day that the strength of this team is the offensive line. You do not say that if you have a good qb. The only thing wilks says about Sam is that it’s good he’s not turning the ball over. That is literally what you ask of your backup qb. You cannot ask too much of him or he falls apart. Sam looks like he would be a great fit for a backup spot starter role and I think he would excel in the right situation in that role.

Is Sam way better than last year?

Most would say yes.

So if he improves again by this margin next year he's top 12.

Do it one more time and he's top 8.

In 2 years we have a top 8 qb.

 

Richardson will never be able to make that throw Sam made to DJ on the sideline. Sam has more arm talent. 

Are you retarded?

Drafting a bust QB doesn't set you back. It's the refusing to move on from a bust QB that sets you back. If he busts, move on.

You see, you're  spouting general NFL knowledge and ignoring our situation. 

We have a chance at the playoffs because our Division is weak. Its looking like it might remain a little weak.  We have a chance of maintaining a future of winning the division. We are winning by having a strong run game, and a strong defense. We will still need a passing game, and right now under Darnold with the contributions of D.J., TMJ, Viska and even Shi a bit, it functions. The reason it is what is now is not just because of any one player. Would the passing game open up more with a more trust worthy QB than Darnold? Sure! But it's not easy to find that and the options presented to us are much worse, hampering our immediate chances of winning if they bust.  a pick that could've been used to bolster our strengths.

Darnold is a bit more unique than most 2nd contract QBs like Alex Smith, Ryan Tannehill Marcus Mariota, etc for a variety of reasons that, while unlikely to happen at a consistent rate you CAN see a way he elevates the team when needed for the immediate future. Will he ever be elite? Unlikely but you can elevate his play more clearly than you could any of the QBs listed above, while living with his weaknesses. And at the very least you CAN win with that. And if you don't? Then reevaluate the next season.

The difference with the above is you're still building a system a QB can succeed in. if we draft a bust QB yeah we can move on, but that's not only a pick that could've been used on building on what we have in a time where a window is open in the NFCS, but it's a year of contract time and age to the players we do have and risks their chance of success in our system going down. This sets the Panthers back.

The strength of every team should be the lines.

Who have the Steelers strived to keep around? Recievers? Backs? Nope.

Darnold is playing well enough that whatever QB we take in the 1st round won't feel pressured to have to come in and start from day 1. 

At this rate we won’t be drafting stroud or bryce and I’d rather run it back with Darnold next season. Get some pieces around him and maybe he can turn into our Jimmy G.

We are not winning poo consistently with a system qb.  You need a damn flame thrower to win in the playoffs.   And building your team to win a shitty division is short sighted and moronic.

Winning a putrid division shouldn't be the goal. The next NFC South team to figure out the QB position is setup to dominate until the rest of the division does the same. I want to be that team.

In a perfect world yes. They also don’t have a qb. You’re simping for Darnold while shitting on qbs like Lamar. Who won a fuging mvp. It’s very transparent.

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      TAMU had such a weird draft. Usually you'd be bragging your ass off about three DL drafted in the top two rounds except that the narrative around all three was about how badly they were misused by TAMU. LOL

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By Icege · Posted

      Many Panthers fans are already excited about second-round selection Nic Scourton for a variety of reasons including but not limited to: the Panthers needed to recharge the position group, Scourton had a late first-round grade according to many (including the Panthers), and he fit this season's modus operandi of stopping the run now and forever. However, Scourton was seen early on as one of the top-3 EDGE guys in this class but fell due to not having quite the season at Texas A&M as he did prior at Purdue (his sophomore season). It's been revealed since then a few different things that speak to that dip in production... Texas A&M, for one, requires each player on their line to be able to hold two gaps. This also explains why we saw low production across the board from the other two TA&M prospects but were still being heavily touted. Scourton was also said to have bulked up to 280lbs in order to fulfill this role and noticeably suffered from it. He's expected to play this season with Carolina at 255 - 260 which is very different from most situations. In most situations, teams are wanting players to gain 15 - 30. Since Scourton is going to be playing at his Purdue weight, I thought it would make sense to dive more into that tape. Y'all... we might have gotten something special... Let's take a quick peek at the stats before we start drooling over some highlights. First, a summary of the last two seasons for Scourton: Second, the game splits: The first thing that pops up for me is how Scourton's sack numbers were cut in half his senior year. We've already pointed out issues with scheme that impacted the TA&M linemen from racking up numbers, but seeing the game splits it's clear that Scourton didn't exactly feast on inferior competition while at Purdue. He had two two-sack games (vs. Michigan (2023 - 2024 champs), Indiana) and a 10-tackle game (vs. Nebraska). I also see the 2024 games where he went up against two top-10 tackles (Will Campbell from LSU + Armand Membou from Missouri) that I watched leading up to the draft.  For those who just want a summary: Scourton looked elite at Purdue and is going to be rotating in often during his rookie campaign. I originally had him penciled in as the second-string, strong-side edge defender behind Clowney but I wouldn't be surprised to see the team have him and Pat Jones II moving around when they rotate in in order to find where Nic looks best. Here's a highlight reel to replace that Cialias you lost in your recliner tonight:   For those that want a little more: Below I'll be linking the linking the five games I've mentioned above. If you plan to watch all of them, I highly recommend going in the order listed as that will allow you to see him vs. Campbell and then Membou while dealing with the aforementioned things he dealt with at Texas A&M before seeing him look unstoppable in 2023 when he was allowed to play both at a comfortable weight and in a scheme that didn't require him two cover two gaps nearly every play. vs. Will Campbell (2024) vs. Armand Membou (2024) vs. Nebraska (2023) vs. Michigan (2023)   vs. Indiana (2023)

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      Yea, i honestly think he had almost as much say as Dan.  One of the main reasons I think that is Eager has said before he was ever with the Panthers, that you trade away picks for a qb and for any other position you do pick swaps, and that's exactly what we did.
