Again. Has looked SOLID. Theres 2 missed throws for TDs im sure he'd like back but he's shown me a hell of a lot in just one half. Looking forward to seeing how he builds and adjusts.

lol

I'm getting serious 2013 Giants game vibes where the headlines the next morning referred to the game as a "Feeding Frenzy" I bet these players missed having fans in the stands and as a fan I've missed having something to cheer for.

Want another takeaway before the half. Im getting greedy now.

Atta boy Sam. Hes had a couple misses, unfortunately in the red zone and both would have been TDs but he has been fuging solid outside of that. Robby had to let up a bit to get it but damn what a dime.

fug YEA edit: this is not the GameDay thread lol

Favorite pie?

Grier gets the nod from me for now. With the exception of the throw on the miscommunication he looked solid. Neither he or PJ are going to win us games with their play. If we only keep one and don't add a Veteran during final cuts then my preference comes down to which on helps Darnold get better behind the scenes. Is one of them better than the other in the film room, have a better grasp on the playbook etc. Backups should make the starters better. QB is no different.

There are well over a dozen sites that don't require a login, don't require you to pay a penny and broadcast the game in perfect 1080p with at most a 10ish second delay and maybe a pop up or 2 to close out of. They are also completely illegal and as such, not posting links because people posting links is a good way to bring unwanted trouble. Use Google, use reddit, its not hard guys.

Not saying its better but never forget this classic after the Matt Moore Vikings upset. Smitty: "Ya know, 22, little youngster, had something to say so I just had to establish the rules and regulations of the game." Reporter: "Which were?" Smitty: "89. Bottom Line. Thats why he's going home" 89BottomLine has been my Xbox and PS name ever since

Wow, the disrespect. Cant believe they're just going to give away Panthers Legend Rasul Douglas' number like that.

Only thing missing from a full on nostalgia trip to 2015 was a good ole "Google that poo" Welcome back brother. Make sure that helmet is pointed in the right direction.

Would that not make NEXT years pick more valuable then? The argument presented is a a 3rd in 2021 is more valuable than a 2nd in 2022 which is generally how future draft calculations have had these things forever yet your comments are to the contrary. I too agree based on the extenuating circumstances surrounding covid that may not hold true with THESE particular years. I believe it was Rappaport alluding to this as well prior to the draft that we'd see less trades of future picks for this reason.

Also has serious medical red flags that go with him. Blood clots in your lungs are a pretty big deal, especially when there's no in person pre draft visits where your own medical team can clear him. You're taking a massive gamble on a player that could walk away from the game at any time or worse. The Panthers along with every single team in the league, including the one that did eventually draft him all felt the same way. We obviously are comfortable in the group of guards we took, including the one we drafted over him, heading into camp.

I think the expectation is he comes in as a LT. If that doesn't pan out and he turns into a starting LG its still a solid pick. I really like this pick. I dont love that he'll be 25 in September and his level of competition certainly leaves something to be desired BUT this guy is a phenomenal athlete.

Interesting his weakness is listed as being an average athlete. Everything I read and watched seemed to indicate this guys explosiveness at the BYU pro day was next level. Short arms and inconsistencies I could see and the guys certainly could use some coaching up and is already 24 but I like this a lot. Could be a day 1 starter at LT. Based on how quick that pick shot in I'm betting the Panthers brass felt the same way.

Like Taylor Moton?

Really think there's 1 of 3 things ultimately happens and I think the beauty of the Darnold trade sets us up for any of these 3. This gets out and a team behind us panics and moves up to 4-7 for a QB which only pushes talent down. We'd be guaranteed 1 of Sewell, Chase, Pitts or Slater. We get a blue chip player and roll with Darnold. The above happens and spot 8 is now seen as the last spot to move up and get the last of the 5 qbs making it far more valuable likely netting us at minimum a future 1st offsetting any capitol lost in the Darnold trade. Or we simply take Fields because of genuine interest and had no way thought he'd be available without moving up to 3 to secure him. If NY was offered a 1st for Darnold I'd imagine worst case he'd be flipped for at least the 2nd we traded for him if we wanted to jump ship immediately although id imagine they play out the season with Darnold the starter and move one of the 2 in the future for a bigger return.

Appolgies, looks like it was a radio interview. I'm on my phone so we'll see how it goes but here's a link to his radio interview and a screenshot of the tweet. *Bonus* Now theres a tweet from 5 minutes ago that Zach Wilson is going to be a bust too. http://www.charlestonsportsradio.com/2021/04/20/the-mauro-midday-show-4-20-21-hour-2/?fbclid=IwAR0cKFnius1Fv4HYntlp0em22vNAt2hdHPwkE7Pb7_dme2q6D0b_U90nYeU

He also on his Twitter has posted an article detailing why Trevor Lawrence will be a bust. So there's that.

If Pitts Sewell and Slater are gone and a team wants to give us their 1st, 2nd and future first to move up from the late teens for a QB sure... Otherwise I cant say I love this idea but I can respect the team doing due diligence and exploring all avenues.

To be fair... a handful may be lying, just like some may be telling the truth. Assaulting even one of them is one too many. That said, the defense of "Defendants lied about their trauma because they went back to work" is a pretty shitty fuging defense to use. As from day 1, ill wait for all of it to play out before making judgement, something id urge all of you.

Anyone who wasn't there on reddit a week or so ago during the Xbox live breaking news missed out. Thats up there with ruining Adam Schiens Jersey Tournament and $GME as favorite moments on the internet.

DJ Moore is 23 years old. Allen Robinson is 27. Hopkins and Golladay are 28. Just to be clear you're telling me a WR entering year 4 is already on par or close to the level of these guys despite being 4-5 years younger? Thats an eternity in the league, hell that's an entire contract length in the NFL. DJ could sign the same contract Golladay did today and after playing it out would STILL be younger than Golladay was when he signed it. Thats enough DJ slander in this thread. Seriously. If you refuse to see that despite playing with Kyle Allen, Will Grier, Teddy Bridgewater and PJ Walker hes the only WR with 1200 scrimmage yards the past two seasons as anything other than a testament to his potential for greatness theres no help for you.

This has already been addressed in numerous threads. Yes its possible. Yes there's precedence recently and in the past with players looking worse than Sam Darnold in their first few seasons going on to win MVPs, Super Bowls and ending up in the Hall of Fame. Im sure there are more examples but this is top of my head with stats from PFF. 1) Terry Bradshaw 38% completion percentage, 6 TDs 24 (TWENTY FOUR) INTs in 8 starts (3-5) Following Seasons of: 13 starts (5-8) 54% completion percentage 13 TDs 22 INTs 14 starts (11-3) 47% completion percentage 12 TDs 12 INTs Went on to have a hall of fame career and win a few Super Bowls 2) John Elway 10 starts (4-6) 47% completion percentage 7 TDs 14 INTs 14 starts (12-2) 56% completion percentage 18 TDs 15 INTs 16 starts (11-5) 54% completion percentage 22 TDs 23 INTs Went on to have a hall of fame career and win a couple super bowls. 3) Troy Aikman 11 starts (0-11) 52% completion percentage 9 TDs 18 INTs 15 starts (7-8) 56% completion percentage 11 TDs 18 INTs 12 starts (7-5) 65% completion percentage 11 TDs 10 INTs Went on to win a super bowl and have a hall of fame career 4) Drew Brees 0 starts, played in 1 game as a rookie, 1 TD 0 INTs 16 starts (8-8) 60% completion percentage 17 TDs 16 INTs 11 starts (2-9) 57% completion percentage 11 TDs 15 INTs went on to win a SB and have a hall of fame career. 5) Brett Favre Played in 2 games. Threw FOUR passes and TWO interceptions Goes to GB 13 starts (8-5) 64% completion percentage 18 TDs 13 INTs 16 starts (9-7) 60% completion percentage 19 TDs 24 INTs Goes on to win MVP, win a super bowl and have a hall of fame career. 6) Steve Young 5 starts (1-4) 52% completion percentage 3 TDs 8 INTs 14 starts (2-12) 53% completion percentage 8 TDs 13 INTs Goes to SF Proceeds to start a few games for the next 4 years amassing only 10 starts in that time. Goes on to have a Hall of Fame career, win a couple MVPs and a few SBs Other examples of current players or players that aren't in the HoF: Alex Smith Jake Delhomme Kirk Cousins Ryan Fitzpatrick Ryan Tannehill
