Of course I don't get triggered but your insistence on trashing Darnold at every turn needs to be noted and I did so. And I think many of us have been here since the beginning and know what great QB play looks like. You can't get Stockholm Syndrome unless you have been traumatized. Many of us can detach themselves from the game and keep their perspective. 

I have 100% seen you triggered on here. More than once, for that matter. It usually looks like you reading your CV aloud to try to prop up your fragile sense of intellectual superiority.

I just don't understand it. It's being willingly ignorant out of pure, naked desperation.

We are the Browns. This is what their fans turned into during their almost 20 year QB drought.

You act like the fans are responsible for what happened with the franchise or that bitching cures anything. Most folks who bitch and criticize everything find  a team they like and a coach that better represents what they want. Frankly I don't understand fans who bitch and complain all the time and don't switch teams. Unless you are a masochist and like being miserable all the time. I am a Panther fan but don't agree with everything they do. I just don't waste my time bitching about everything when I can't fix anything.

I disagree but that's because I don't really count Darnold's first stint for various reasons. DA throwing a pick on the opening play is pretty low. Darnold had a couple of genuine dimes and even a Newtonian escape from pressure yesterday. 

Oh, not all Darnold is terrible, it is the one thing that makes people hope beyond reason that he could become something more than he is. His few tantalizing throws or displays of athletic ability I am sure have frustrated many coaches and fans alike.

His skill level and physical ability aren't in question but he doesn't have the mental ability nor experience that an NFL starting caliber QB needs. 

It's not like that is rare among QB's that aren't starting caliber. 

DA was statistically better(average wise and winning percentage since the starting disparity is quite wide) as a Panther than Sam has been. That's even with this resurgence. But, as great of a backup as DA was for us....that's the problem in a nutshell. We aren't comparing Sam to Cam nor Jake nor Steve Beuerlein nor even Kerry Collins. We are comparing him to Derek Anderson.

Let’s also not forget that the refs gifted the Bucs a penalty that backed us up to the 13 as opposed to calling the facemask on the Bucs which would have resulted in us having the ball at the 38. That completely changes the complexion of that drive and what plays we call in that situation. 

The refs had multiple opportunities throughout the game to really turn the tide in Tampa's favor, such as DB's borderline late hit on TB12. They didn't flag it. The refs were the least of our problems.

Yeah I was surprised they, for the most part, swallowed their whistles.

It's funny to bitch about bitching. 

I am not even bitching about the Panthers. I am bitching about the Huddle "fans."

I think if you watched Tampa enough this season the refs seem to be protecting Brady a lot less. He isn't the NFL golden child anymore but he hasn't figured that out yet.

You bitch about everything. Now you start differentiating  your bitching into categories. Why not try a different strategy and the 95% of what you think you don't say. Make it a new years resolution. We will all benefit from that.

      Travis Hunter on T-Mac

      By Seltzer · Posted

      T-Mac put up good numbers for 3 consecutive seasons on teams without a good QB situation, and in an environment where T-Mac got game planned against weekly and still performed. Teams threw all kinds of defensive coverages against T-Mac, and he still found ways week in and week out to contribute at a high level. XL was basically a 1-year wonder. Doesn't mean he cant be great (and I think him & T-Mac will compliment each other well), but i think T-Mac is the more polished of the 2 right now. This certainly isn't a perfect comparison, but I hope XL & T-Mac can approximate what we had with Smitty & Moose (Although i think T-Macs ceiling is higher than Moose and XLs ceiling is lower than Smitty). Both those guys were multiple Pro Bowlers and even All-Pro. T-Mac & XL have a long way to go to actually being comparable, but the potential is there. And regardless of how this season turns out, you can actually see a strategic plan being executed. On paper, I think this offensive roster has as much talent as any Panthers team since 2017. Defense is still a question mark, and it's unrealistic to think we will go from being historically bad to great in 1 year, but based on historical and statistical data, we stand a much better chance of turning the defense around in 1 year than the offense. I still want us to potentially add at S, CB, and ILB, but this roster is exponentially better than the roster heading into the 2023 season. Which still begs the question of how & why the team thought they were in a good position to trade all the way up. Regardless, it's in the past, and while the past 2 years have mostly sucked, we are strategically in a much better position than we have been in years. This is easily the best WR group since 2020 IMO (Moore, Anderson, Samuel). I'm super excited about what T-Mac can bring to this offense and team, and I'm really hoping we continue to build off where we ended last year offensively, and hopefully we've made enough improvements on defense to be competitive. I've also been vocal for the most part in supporting BY9. He came into an awful situation and to a team that was in no position to make such a trade.   Still, this is Year 3. And this is a team that IMHO has both the talent & depth on offense to score and score a lot. Most QBs that ever amount to anything are competing by Year 3. There are no excuses for the offense not to perform. I think BY9 knows full well what's riding on this year in terms of his long term future.  And I think T-Mac is a massive piece in helping Bryce and the team get over the hump and back into playoff contention.
