yeah, totally can't be talent. I mean, we had a bad OL coming into the year. Now we got Michael Jordan comes in and takes 89% of the snaps on Sunday. You just have to play call around the LT. And the LG. And the C. Oh, the RG too. Oh and the fact the worst starting QB in the NFL over the past couples seasons is now running the show behind all of that. What happened yesterday is on the HC and the GM. For putting this OL/QB combo together and thinking there was another possible outcome than what we are seeing.

One game. Moore has been an absolute beast on the year. Hard to describe him this year as anything other than that. and Sam opened up that game throwing DJ a hospital ball on his first pass. I don't fault DJ for not catching that. That a business decision. And the right one IMO. You can't throw hospital balls that early in a game. I mentioned this earlier, but Tom Brady has spoken out on that. It's called horrible QB play. And Brady has said it hasn't been called for what it is. The byproduct is the league over officiates games and is ruining it...because too many QBs set guys up to get hurt. Robby I get. Bash away. He has been horrible. DJ? Great. Basically the entire TE committee has been solid. Thomas has looked good this year. Tremble has looked good this year. Arnold looked good when we had him. CMC a stud on when on the field. All the rookies from Marshall to Chubba have played solid when called upon IMO. Robby's stink shouldn't be cast on everyone else. They should bench him IMO.

Robby Anderson has been horrible. On the year, his collective receiving options have not been horrible. Just one guy. but as noted this offseason, Sam has always had a poor rate of success when throwing at Robby. Dates back to NY. It has never been a good connection (despite what the rare deep ball highlight might suggest).

No, I am not blaming Joe Brady for everything. A difference. I accepted bringing in Joe Brady. Which was someone who had never been an OC before. Which means he was going to have to grow into the position. And I have routinely pointed out where Joe Brady needs to get better at. But the fact remains, if you give anyone a horrible OL and pair it with a horrible QB in the NFL....the OC will look bad and routinely fail. It's the whole two things can be true aspect. Joe Brady needs to grow as an OC. Which shouldn't be a surprise. But we have given him slop. Which means it is going to prevent us from really being able to evaluate him and his growth. Because again, a great OC.....with this OL paired with Darnold. It's the NFL. Firing Joe Brady does absolutely nothing. Because the OL and Sam are here.

why? why would you give him one more season? he has proven he he is over and over and over again. From USC to Carolina.

Joe Brady didn't pick Sam Darnold. He was just given this slop. He didn't pick the OL. Rhule has already told us how Sam Darnold got here. It was Phil Snow and Rhule that cooked up that great idea. Two dudes have who never had good QB play on any team they have ever been associated with.

Sam Darnold came here ruined. That's not Joe Brady's fault. We have given Brady slop and then complained that he can't turn water into wine. The QB and OL are horrible. Name a great OC....and he would look horrible with that OL/QB pairing. NFL is a talent driven league. Coaches overall are a just a product of the talent IMO at this level.

QB is the most important position on the field. And Sam Darnold is worse than Teddy. So for that reason, we are worse. Clone the teams and pit a Darnold lead version vs a Teddy one. I'm taking Teddy in a 2 out of 3 series.

Sam Darnold is on pace to set career highs for INTs and fumbles (not fumbles lost though). at the current pace, Sam's best season in NY....will be statistically better than his season in Carolina. And all he should get is a season here. Nothing else.

Yeah, you can’t defend yourself. That’s why it’s called setting him up to be murdered. maybe you hang a WR out to dry with the game on the line. Not the opening drive. But maybe Tom Brady is an idiot and doesn’t know what he is talking about. He calls it trash QB play for whatever that is worth.

It’s the pairing of a bad QB with a bad OL that is tanking this team. Can’t pair that up. One has to be okay.

To date, Teddy has always been a better NFL QB than Darnold they are just different in terms of why each isn’t very good. But yeah, Teddy is slightly better. Has always been so.

DJ first drop was business decision that I don’t blame him for. Sam set up our best WR to be murdered. the exact reason Tom Brady argued the NFL is now over officiated. QBs making poor throws that get guys murdered too often. You can’t throw those.

If we traded Jayce Horn next season…..that would be a massive red flag that there isn’t something right with Horn. that’s the scenario. CJ Henderson was a massive red flag. I treat it as that and expect nothing of it. I’m fine with the trade. But it’s clearly a gamble play. Teams don’t deal top 10 picks like that unless something is wrong

Probably draft a DB at 7 or something like that if he can’t get a good deal to trade down

What do you expect an OC to pull off with Sam Darnold and this OL paired? Both suck on their own. The combo is not going to work for anyone. firing Brady achieves nothing.

Every week is a new over the top position. Sam is going to be in the MVP talk. Jackson is going to demand top 5 money. Now we never win again. we aren’t as good as weeks 1-3 suggested. Healthy, we aren’t as bad as weeks 4-6 suggest. we will get CMC back eventually. We will get Shaq back. We will get Gilmore. We will get CJ. we play plenty of average and bad teams. Atlanta, Giants, Dolphins, WFT. We will win more games. We just won’t matter.

Only one undefeated QB in Panther history…. PJ moves in chaos better than Darnold. They both makes throws they shouldn’t.

Literally everyone had a career year on O with Brady last year (just like the year prior at LSU) Teddy, DJ, Robby, Samuel. All career bests. Can you really suck if that is what is happening? Career bests? and now Sam is still on pace to have a career year? DJ on pace to top his again. Basically everyone minis Robby who is clearly just playing horrible at this point. so maybe…Joe Brady just needs better talent.

Sam isn’t on a different planet than PJ. That’s reality. It’s not an attempt to overrate what PJ is. He is a backup QB. It’s not about PJ being the man here. Sam isn’t a good. He is a backup QB and there is little reason for us to not of known that. But Sam will be the guy. And Rhule will slowly start scapegoating people as the season goes on. That’s what coaches do when they get egg on their face. QB coaches. OC. Give it time. No one can win on O with Darnold and this OL paired together. it was a always a joke that Rhule claimed he was going to bring in Darnold to fix and redeem him….and then paired him with this OL. It could only go one way. Which is the way it is now headed.

Bad offense impacts a defensive negatively. Always has. and if all your O can manage by themselves in a half of football is getting themselves into position for 3 points? You aren’t going to beat teams with a good offense. so yeah, the offense was pathetic in the first half. And yeah it matters how a team scores. If the you are discussions units and what they are doing. Offense isn’t good enough. And the D will continue to look bad as long as they suck. Like last week. We kept throwing the D out there vs Philly getting diddly from the O…..and the D eventually looked bad after gift wrapping that game it doesn’t matter how you score in terms of beating a team. A win is a win. ST could score them all. You get a win regardless. It matters in terms of discussing your actual team though and looking ahead. And your odds of future success.

Overall, just the former Jet Robby Anderson. Collectively, our skill position players have performed well around him on the year IMO. Especially DJ. CMC was a beast when healthy. Chubba IMO is overachieving given the OL and his inexperience. Everyone catch rate when targeted is solid (again, minus Robbh which is just comically bad).

Pie is basically the default to agree/like a post. Beer and eggplant just variation of it.

and I always thought making Sam the plan was predictably dumb. Had no problem adding him to the roster though. But he isn’t going to be good. He isn’t a starting QB. His flaws showed before NY and now after. He is what he is. that said, he is better than Jimmy Clausen. Not even close.
