"Every conceivable metric" - except the ones from this season.

Yeah, so let's take his career year and extrapolate then.

He had a 58% completion percentage, 1,100 yards, 7 touchdowns, 3 interceptions, and 6 fumbles in 6 games.

So, Sam would have 3238 Yards, 20 touchdowns, 9 interceptions, 17 fumbles in the now 17 game season.

Keep digging holes boys.

Uhh....those numbers (aside from the fumbles) aren't too bad.  

I don't think this is helping your argument much.

3238 Yards - 15th in the NFL

20 Pass TDs - 15th in the NFL

9 INTs - Tied at 15th worst in the NFL

YARN | I do not think it means what you think it means ...

Seems a bit weird to throw in fumbles versus fumbles lost and exclude rushing TDs.  He's more like 9 TDs, 5 turnovers, 1250 total yards in 6 games. Still hardly impressive.

He's good for 3-4 "decent" games, at a backup level, before he falls flat on his face it seems. I guess that is why backups are backups and not starters.

Time to move on. Maybe he'll find success elsewhere. Maybe he'll be out of the league in a few years. But unless he's coming back for pennies as a backup / bridge for 4 weeks until we put our new rookie QB out there, I don't want him on the team.

And before yesterday he had a string of games that made him one of the best QBs in the league. People have bad games. He should not be our starter ... but damn, some of you just can't let it go. It's like you're trying to prove Sam is bad. We know he is. Or, you want to stand on your soap box and go, SEE I TOLD YOU! But you're speaking to like ... 1-3 guys on here lol.

 

There are ppl that would be ok with Sam as a bridge. In the right circumstances. But as a starter? Not many want to hitch their wagon to that particular choice.

It almost seems like they are mad that he didn't just suck from the get-go as soon as he started his first game back from injury so the narrative can be resumed.

I couldn't watch yesterday. Did they win because of Sam, in spite of Sam, or a little bit of both at various times?

Both.  

Sam stunk but there were hardly any open receivers to throw to and he forced a couple which resulted (obviously) in INTs.  

Then, the Saints missed a FG late (some say they deliberately "tanked it" though I don't believe that as they are grown men trying to win a football game, too), Sam had a key Scramble/Run for a first down followed 2 plays later by a key throw to TMJ to set up the game-winner.

He played right around middle of the pack for starting QBs in the league during his 6 game stretch. Fortunately, we might be able to sign him to a cheap, back up level contract.

Nah.  He's not being brought back.

mav said so, so that's that. 

So what else is on TV?  *click*

If Darnold had even had something close to a decent game yesterday I'd be more on board with that, but man, I just don't see the point. There are going to be other backups that have higher ceilings, lots of journeyman vets that could start the entire year without looking like garbage while AR or Levis develops behind them, etc.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for.

      By Leeroy Jenkins Ph.D. · Posted

      The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
