If Corral works out, cool. Good for us. If he doesn't, god we'll look dumb and desperate and be drafting a QB next year. I think we should have went with Darnold this year and bet on a stronger QB class next year. Don't see Corral being the guy. Like him, seems like he's got some tools, but so did tons of QB busts. I like the aggressiveness on draft day but it was misplaced here IMO

Nah he'll be back. The whole goddamn team is his support system, aside from his family. If he doesn't, if this does him in, nothing would save him.

Don't dare put that on me. You said I jinxed it by fuging with you about the pick being Ekownu and boom, it came to be. If anything, I'm the reason we're all so goddamn happy.

His tweets when he was drunk were just sad. He's going through it. Hope he figures it out and gets through this thing. As much as he is a meme, we all love him

Darnold is a guy that needs the team around him to be good to really flourish. He was never the put the team on his back guy. Everybody knows this. When we played well and were healthy, Sam was fun to watch. Once the team fell apart, he looked bad. Sam has the potential to make people eat their words. He'll just never bring that into reality. This league necessitates a QB that can carry an offense now. You're not going to win many games relying on the run and throwing off playaction anymore. Sam would have been the man in the 2000s.

I've never watched soccer on tv. Went to games in college and enjoyed chirping the other team and the hype, but on tv it just seemed meh to me. I'm actually enjoying it. I think I just needed a team to care about.

The Rams and Bengals both showed the value of going after the QB you really want and in drafting a solid QB to put pieces around. The Bengals literally demonstrated you can't win a Superbowl with a shoddy OL. Fix the OL first. Doesnt matter who the QB is if we can't protect him.

How dare you disrespect Cole and Kendrick by putting them near the other two. Cole is gonna be considered legendary in time.

Doesn't hurt to have an offensive philosophy and proper play calling which allows for open receivers and room to run after the catch. That's the big difference I notice between playoff teams and the Panthers. They're not throwing to blanketed receivers on every single throw.

No shot we do it. They'll offload Jimmy G for somebody cheaper or draft picks. They're not paying a rookie contract to Trey and 18 mil to his backup that they have to know is damaged goods that needs a perfect situation and a therapist to be consistently good. We need to stabilize this organization. Rhule and Co gotta go.

This Buffalo OL is so solid. Their execution in the run game is very old school. God I want this here so badly.

This is why you don't base every football decision on analytics. It's why analytics are situationally useful but shouldn't be the deciding factor in pretty much anything. You're looking for guys that fit a certain mold and if they're outside of that, you discard them. So you pass on a pro bowler at a position, be it guard or tackle, that would have improved your team.

That's fair. I think it is just hard to determine how good any QB is in NE if they're not putting up ridiculous numbers like Brady did in his time. He is just a rookie though. From what I can tell, given the situation around him, I think he can develop into a well rounded QB. He doesn't have crazy mobility but he has enough to not be a total statue. He has a downfield arm he just doesn't go for it much. He sticks safe and protects the ball, which is what Bill wants. I've seen him throw deep with some touch. I do think it's a valid criticism because his deep ball doesn't have much velocity, but he hits the outs with good zip on it consistently. I'd call him a middling QB right now with the potential to sniff the top third if he continues to develop and elevate his game and command of the offense. He could certainly be Alex Smith though.

Bad take. Mac has looked really damn good. Every stat indicates that. Watching him play shows it. Sure he's in a good system in NE, and sure he'd struggle here. I'd argue every QB would struggle here. Hating on Mac is just Pats hate redirected, far as I can tell.

I mean I'm over the NFL as a whole right now. Just not an interesting product. The Panthers sucking is just something I can't watch so I stopped. I'd rather have my Sundays back than watch a Rhule coached Panthers team. Hockey season is all I care about right now besides the CFB national championship tonight

Getting a point there is big. Keeps us in the thick of it in the east and in the Metro. Rest of January doesn't get too much easier. Bruins, Lightning, Knights, and Rangers. Luckily we also get NJ twice and Columbus and Philly. So we just have to keep the nose to the grindstone.

Shaky start but he has definitely settled

I mean hey if he's your type I ain't judging

You can be handsome or a good NHL dman. Not both.

Seth Jarvis is special btw

Is Freddie back next week? Is that still the plan?

I don't think it's that lopsided. We're still just a hair sloppy. Think we're pressing a bit with Lyon in net. Gotta chill and keep pucks.

Bomb

We'll sort it out. We have to find ways to keep the puck in their end. Would be big to get these two points with the Rangers playing Anaheim tonight.

I think it's because I'm Charlotte market. One says tennis, the other is the Hornets game. But where it says tennis it's the Canes. Meh.
