The Panthers dropped back below .500 after an embarrassing Week 9 performance and now sit at 4-5 after nine games. Carolina looked disjointed all day, and were completely outmatched by the Patriots. I’m struggling to find things to say about this team after the game I was forced to watch yesterday, so below are two takeaways I had from yesterday’s disaster.
It’s time to move on from Sam Darnold
I said this after the Giants game, and it’s still true (it’s so true that I adjusted the numbers to account for yesterday’s game and left the rest of it exactly the same):
Sam Darnold is not the answer, and the Panthers are back to square one at needing to find a franchise quarterback.
