I was a big McCarthy hater going into the draft, so I'm going to go ahead and declare victory here.

McCarthy is terrible. Darnold was set to make BIG bank but blew it. He is making basically the same as Mayfield this year. And below them are Fields Jones and Rodgers. https://overthecap.com/position/quarterback

Nothing like going into your Week 3 home opener by benching your supposed franchise QB and putting in your 40 year old backup QB the week of that game. Zero chance Bryce isn't the starter in Week 3 unless he gets hurt next year

Ngl, I didn’t watch a ton of him his last year at Michigan. I saw a lot of him the year before when they got their ass blown off in the Natty, and then when I saw the that he was projected as a highly sought after first rounder, I was completely blown away. Because unless something changed in that last year, I viewed McCarthy as a less-physical Taysom Hill. And I actually think Taysom is a better natural passer. Every time they brought him in, I wasn’t worried about him passing, AT ALL. So purely a gadget guy…. It looks like it tonight.

The Darnold in action

McCarthy's calendar is running about 7 weeks ahead because he dressed up as Bryce Young tonight.

They made the right decision not paying Darnold. Unfortunate that McCarthy looks nowhere near ready to play.

Darnold is making 33 million a year, McCarthy is making 5.

He's also panicked and has poor command of the huddle and line.

He's just seeing everything too slowly. This guy isn't even close to being ready and that's after being able to sit on IR all last year to watch and learn and study the system. It's very alarming.

Guessing 19 thinks he’s playing with Bryce again at this point

now a sack followed up by a delay of game lol.

2023

JJ has no time to throw. Pull him for health alone.

The tv crew blaming the play clock on that pick 6 smdh...He's been letting it run all the way down almost every snap because he's reading the defense too slowly

Yeah they legitimately might as well have kept Darnold at a lower cost.

At what point do you pull him?

His career YP/A is only 4.5.. . I mean he's been historically bad.

I think if I had a choice, I would choose to play with a jar of peanut butter at QB over Bryce.

Ngl, McCarthy is ass. They let Darnold go for this?

Man I had my doubts but took Jefferson in my first round of fantasy anyways and he might be a mega bust this year

Him and his wife lol.

He threw with him the last two offseasons so he knew what he was signing up for lol

The meat and potatoes: Out of 30 qualifying QBs in Week 1, Young ranked: Dead last in EPA (-0.60) Dead last in success rate (20%) Dead last in Y/A at 3.6 Dead last in passer rating at 27.5 How are you averaging just 3.6 Y/A on unpressured dropbacks in the first half of a game? Thinking back to that halftime deficit, I’m reminded of this stat: The Panthers led at halftime in three of Young’s 12 starts last year. They are now 0 for 1 this year. In his 29 career starts, the Panthers have led at halftime in 5 of 29 (17%). Since 2000, there have been 37 QBs to start at least 25 games in their first two years in the NFL. Young is the ONLY QB to lead at halftime in fewer than six of his starts. Young is the ONLY QB to lead at halftime in fewer than 20% of his starts. So many people were backing Young based on the super small sample at the end of the year when they thought he played better, and he did play moderately better. But even in those games, he delivered average stats against the NFL’s easiest schedule of pass defenses to close the year, with every opponent ranking 20th or worse. There’s never been a QB who rebounded from performance like Young delivered in his first couple of years to go on to become a franchise quarterback. Some stay around as a journeyman, but they don’t lead teams. The Panthers put all their eggs in the Young basket this offseason. The Panthers were the darlings to win the NFC South by many. Yes, it’s only one game, and there certainly are opportunities to improve. The opportunity is to start someone else at QB. I don’t want to see anymore debate in whether Bryce is the worst QB ever. Especially not the worst #1 overall pick ever. What a fuging bust.

I hope Adam Thielen is having a nice time tonight.
