Former Jets teammates Sam Darnold and Robby Anderson have had more bad happen to them when playing together than good. From their time playing for bad teams in New York to now being on the Carolina Panthers, the two just can’t seem to be a part of a winning franchise.
The reunion of the two has gotten off to a rocky start. During Sunday’s game against the Patriots, a clip that was recorded off the CBS broadcast of the Panthers-Pats game was floating around social media and showed Anderson throwing his helmet and screaming at Darnold on the sidelines after the quarterback had thrown his third interception on the day.
To say the Panther’s offense struggled Sunday is an understatement. Darnold completed less than 50% of his passes, throwing for 172 yards for 3 interceptions with no touchdowns. I can understand Anderson’s frustration since he’s been with Darnold before and not much has changed since their days in New York.
The Panthers gave up some pretty valuable draft picks to get a quarterback that has stagnated the offense and has been so bad, he was benched. Darnold cleared concussion protocols, but was questionable leading up to the game with a shoulder injury, toughing it out for a 24-6 loss at home.
