Looks like the last time was 2009 the league has definitely become more pass oriented since that time. So I think it's even more impressive what they have been able to do. No doubt this is the deepest talent pool we've ever had in the secondary.

Are you sure? We're currently the #2 ranked defense and are #2 vs the pass. I don't recall us ever holding out opponents to under 200 yard passing a game like we doing statistically this season.

Yea Teddy turned him into a complete receiver and not just an occasional deep threat.

Robby was money last season.

Sam Darnold completion percentage was 54.16% vs the Falcons, and alot of his supporters were ready to throw a parade for that performance. Not saying PJ is going to be great, but the drop off people keep mentioning is vastly being exaggerated. Darnold was able to extend drives against mostly with his legs, PJ can duplicate that type of game. We scored 19 points against the Falcon's bad defense. Our offense is pedestrian no matter who is under center, Sam or PJ.

Pretty much. Ironic isn't it.

This defense is different when Shaq's on the field, plus add in Gilmore. This can be a special defense.

I've been a big critic of his play. But he definitely has toughness.

The most important place we need to add talent is at the QB position. Can't believe you guys are in here comparing Sam Darnold to Dak Prescott. How many games did Dallas win last season after Daks injury? Oh but it's the system and Oline there, yea right.

We won 5 games last season with lesser talent and played one fewer game. How could 5 wins possibly be an improvement. The reality of the matter is the defense has improved but the offense and special teams are going in reverse. The offense is especially concerning because this coaching staff decided to put all of their chips in with Sam, and neither his past performance with his former team nor his play this season shows any merits for making that decision.

5 games would be an improvement?

Sam's a better Qb than Dak but the Panthers are holding him back. Yep think I've heard it all at this point.

If that Watson trade had gone through we would have been a bonafide playoff contender this season and as long as you're in the dance anything can happen. The defense is good, they would be even better if they were able to play with leads and not constantly on the field due to 3 and outs. Both Watson and McCaffrey have put up MVP caliber seasons before behind not so great offensive lines. And I know Robby's gotten fat and lazy DJ Moore's making business decisions apparently. But they were one of the best 1-2 threats just a season ago.

This season apparently wasn't about wins it was about the reclamation project of the Sam Darnold, and Rhule and Brady's ego to prove their coaching chops.

By the first half you'll know. You know we ain't scoring anything in the 3rd quarter that's a given. So if the offense hasn't done much by the end of the 2nd you can bet not much else is in store.

Yes atleast the running around will be more entertaining. Outside of his dirt balls PJ had 1 throw in his 2 or 3 series that looked better than anything Darnold did all game.

I'll rather watch PJ run around than watch whatever Darnold was doing against the against the Giants last game.

They probably thinking "if only we can get Jonathan Ogden and Orlando Pace to block for Sam on the line he wouldn't be so jittery and keep throwing it to the other team."

Oh well. Still good to know we have an owner and front office doing everything they can to improve the team If the offense stalls against the Falcons maybe PJ can get put in sooner and we can see what he got.

I think CMC might be gone, ugh.. He was unexpectedly put on IR when the injury was initially deemed minor 2 to 3 weeks. Zod recently made a random post lauding the exploits of Chuba Hubbard. Anonymous sources are alluding he's included in the trade package. Bummer if true, I wanted his skill set paired with a bonafide top 5 franchise QB while he's still in his prime.

Dang well can we atleast get Tua. Our offense is unwatchable at the moment. We need a quarterback.

No QB is, but question of having a playmaker at the most important position like Watson or the offense looking like it did last Sunday is a no brainer.

I'm not comparing the names on the jerseys, I'm going by the rankings and last season the Texans defense was horrible.

Our defense is one of the best statistically in the league, with Watson we would have the better Qb on the field most Sundays. Two 1000 yards receivers when we have a QB that can read defenses and get them the ball. And the best Rb when healthy.

Panthers defense is way better than the Texans defense which was one of the worst last season.
