Not to mention he did, indeed, make a difference on the team this year. Now would he ever lead us deep into the playoffs? - not unless we surrounded him with 49ers-level weaponry.

It's possible.  Who knows? Anything is possible.  But his name doesn't trigger me so I can be objective.

And if this bum is the best we can hope for in a backup just make a run at Andy Dalton or see if Minshew is available.

Don't know about Dalton (he didn't exactly light it up himself the last game) but man...this Minshew affinity is just as bad as Darnold's.  lol

We know his floor we know his ceiling no point in tying up 10 million bucks in that. The Jets already learned the lesson people like yourself just want to keep repeating over and over and over and over.

The Jets also drafted Zach Wilson.

They've got a lot of lessons to learn still.

All you want me to say is we just need a game manager but there are other options for that. Who here wouldn't like to draft a Brock Purdy in a late round and have him out there throwing darts. But how likely is that? For years people have been talking about Sam's arm talent but the end our season we lost to Tom Brady who is old enough to be a grandpa and we barely squeaked by Dalton and a Saints team who clearly couldn't be bothered to give a fug about winning.

Get real.

We lost to Tom Brady because Wilks failed to have anyone out over the top to guard Evans who burned them TWICE for a TD.

Yeah no poo we know our secondary was awful those games are going to happen. That's why it's important to have a quarterback who can muster more than one passing touchdown when the playoffs are on the line.

Um..He had 3 passing touchdowns in that game.

Had our D stopped even ONE of Evans scores, we would've won.

 

Not sure what stats you're looking at. 🤔

I was referring to both the Pittsburgh game and the Detroit game. Playoffs were on the line the last 4 weeks. We got lucky against the Lions thanks to historic efforts from our run game (that do not happen often) and we needed that win at home against the Steelers. Two passing touchdowns between those two games over 8 quarters of football. Yeah it was nice Sam finally put up some touchdowns against the Bucs but it was too little too late to that point. And any one of us that's watched Tom play no matter how much we dislike him knew we were going to need probably 30 points to punch our ticket. We can be mad about the defense justifiably so all we want but it's an offensive league these teams have talented players too. The horrendous performance from our passing offense against New Orleans is only confirmation of our need to start over with that side of the ball.

No.

No it really wasn't "too little, too late".

You're making it seem like we were playing from behind and Sam's TDs were just window-dressing when in fact, we had leads of 14-10 and 23-10.  

That loss was as much a failure on Wilk's part as it was on our banged up Secondary.

If not moreso.

That was the moment (combined with Wilk's conservative call to not go for it on 4th and a foot) that ultimately lost us the game. 

Sam did his part.  

The Defense didn't and neither did Wilks.

 

If Sam is to be blamed for anything, it would be on the INT he threw and for not falling on a fumble (that Bozeman caused). 

 

Bringing up the Steelers loss means nothing because it didn't cost the Panthers ultimately as they got the much-needed win against Detroit.   

And bringing up this past Debacle against the Saints means nothing because...well....it was a game that meant nothing except to just simply end another pathetic season on somewhat of a positive.

All those games mattered man it's all we had been talking about through December. Again. 24 points isn't going to cut it against a playoff bound team more often than not. The defensive breakdowns were just salt in the wound. Meaningless or not that's an embarrassing way to end the season. And no I do not think Wilks should be the head coach I haven't given him a pass. Though as I've said I do give him credit for looking significantly better than Rhule at times. But the lows (Cincinnati and New Orleans in particular) are glaring. This franchise needs more than Ron Rivera 2.0. We should switch gears and hire an offensive minded head coach.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
