The Optimist: A special defense could take pressure off Darnold's shoulders

The Carolina Panthers walked away from yesterday’s game as winners. It’s easy to look at their performance and say that it should have been a bigger win, but a win is a win in terms of the standing. The Panthers start 1-0 and we’ll see what’s next. After all, beating the Jets was about a lot more than just beating the Jets. It was our introduction, as fans, to the 2021 Carolina Panthers. Who exactly did we just meet?

Sam Darnold

Nothing matters more for the success of any team than the ability of their starting quarterback.
