Traditional and advanced stats all say this is a different Darnold, but he's still unable to lead the team to a win when it's all on his shoulders 

I am as big of a Darnold critic as they come but if you limit him and leave him in situations where he is more likely to  succeed this is the result. 

McAdoo is a wild idiot but he does deserve credit for working better with Darnold than probably any OC in his career.

Now, all that said.......Darnold has no future with a successful Carolina Panthers franchise.

I’m ready for new coach to make the decision. It could be Darnold but most likely a rookie gotta love those rookie QB contracts 

Maybe. We really aren't gonna have any idea until we know the HC and OC.

This might be one of the most interesting offseasons in franchise history.

He has had one good game, and lost in that one.   We can do better. 

ONE?

uhh... *looks at stats*

I don't think so.

Are you sure you're not looking at LAST YEARS Stats?


He'll make a very good backup somewhere but he played solid for all but ONE game (the Steelers...and even in that game, he still took care of the football)

Just give him a five year contract and let him compete because he's such a nice guy and he tries so hard. This is a family affair.

Do any of ya'll that don't keep Sam Darnold's codpiece on your nightstand remember just four years ago when turning the ball over and losing football games was a deal breaker for this fanbase?

I imagine it still is.

Last season was a pure dumpster fire in that regard. 

 

But that said, you have to admit that aside from the Bucs game (where 2 turnovers weren't exactly his fault), he's been pretty mindful of not turning the ball over.

 

Does that mean I want him to Start?   Not really. 

I still want Corral to get a shot.

But I wouldn't dismiss him as a Backup too quickly, either.

Sam has proven to easily be the best QB we’ve had since 2017 and I’d definitely keep him as a backup on backup money, even let him run the ship for 4-6 weeks if the rookie we get isn’t quite ready to start the season. But there should be NO allusions to him being a legit candidate for full time starter. He’s not anything more than a Delhomme-esque game manager and most likely will never be more. We need more.

I wonder when that will happen....

Darnold wishes he was Delhomme-esque.

He hasn't had a game winning drive since December 2019.

I think if Sam had Smitty, Moose and Double Trouble it might be a different story. I loved Jake but he was no star, he was a game manager same as Sam.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By strato · Posted

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
