CJ Henderson, Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield, etc. Not to mention we tried to give away the farm for Watson, Stafford, etc. Thankfully those players saved Fitt and company from themselves. Yeah, pretty sure in on every deal has PROVEN to put us into conversations and then pulling the trigger on players we shouldn't be adding. and the GM is drafting DBs and passing on QBs in the top 10 lol. Which is why you can't call Fitt good at this stage.

Fitt is still gigantic unknown IMO. Can't really call him a good GM. Incomplete is really the only grade he can get. Tepper hasn't proven he is willing to move on from mistakes quickly. See Rhule getting a pointless 3rd year. It was painfully clear it was time to move on from him and he willingly chose to waste everyone's time.

Carolina being "in on every deal" has proven to not be something to boast about. We are in on all the players we shouldn't be adding to the roster.

Damn impressive. Trevor went full blown Jake Delhomme vs AZ…..and shook that off to comeback and win.

I think Wilks could get us in playoff contention. His DNA is too conservative to really put you in contention of being anything special though. Goff still put up nearly 400 yards and 3 passing TDs on us. Their run game just didn't show up at all.

give me Ben Johnson. That's the type guy we should of gone after when we let Ron go. *requirement is he hires a DC that was former HC or something along those lines. I want my green HC to have someone on staff that has been through it all.

whoomp there it is, we old.

I was hoping for that Galaga arcade machine

Hope is all we got. I got very little confidence in Tepper at this point.

Tepper values using his stadium for multiple purposes over football. He pretty much has said so.

Tampa also had 3 TD drives in the 4th quarter. Which were made aided by the fact Sam and the O had 3 consecutive pathetic series back to back to back in the 4th.

THRICE

Wilks just doesn't fit in the present-day era IMO. He is a Fox/Ron repeat. His philosophy will get you to around .500. Respectable. And maybe you will randomly catch lighting in a bottle in a random year. I still favor attempting something new and just pretending Matt Rhule never happened. I don't think the Rhule error should have us going right back to what we have always been. I still think Wilks is getting a bump coming off how horrific Rhule was. His audition was also filled with some pretty painfully conservative and bad management of games at times. I'd love Wilks as a DC. Not at HC. Still think the present day NFL is about offense. And will continue to trend that way as it has.

Jake Delhomme didn't really play in the present-day era. Completion % averages and expectations for the QB have gone up because of the way the game is called now.

Bennett is 25 years old and has been playing college football for 6 years. My analysis is simply it doesn't feel the same anymore. I mean it isn't the same. When is the last time a championship was won by a 25 year old, in his 6th year of college football, playing with a bunch of guys openly paid. That's not college football as we have known it. I don't put it on par with a freshman 19 year old Trevor Lawarence running the table. Or a Tua coming off the bench for another example. Those titles just feel different. Because we were watching perceived kids playing college football. They don't feel the same. It just feels like minor league pro ball. And I would argue that is all it is now. I felt there were 2 first round caliber talents Wilson's year. And he wasn't one of them. I wouldn't want Wilson or Bennett for 2 totally different reasons.

5 wins (fired HC) 5 wins 5 wins 7 wins (fired HC and traded away franchise QB) I'm sure our failures have something to do with the decisions made by the Teppers. And Tepper made his wife Chief Admin of Tepper of Sports. Which is over the Panthers. And Tepper Sports has been dysfunctional from outside appearances for some time. When you can't win more than 7 games......Tepper and company are exactly who we should bitch about. Them pimping his wife as a decision maker deserves criticism given our lack of success and her lack of qualifications. This seems like the stuff we should bitch about.

Is there another team president in the NFL….whose only background info is married a billionaire in 2019?

Yeah, Bennett is 25 years old. Which is older than I think 4 of the NFL playoff QBs this year. Something about his age playing amongst college kids taints it me a little bit and takes some of the shine off it….at least for me. college football just in a weird space all around IMO so who cares. Might as well deem it pro ball/ minor leagues.

This isn't true. We averaged like 80 something rushing yards under Matt Rhule. We averaged 150+ with Wilks. It wasn't the same coaching. It wasn't the same gameplans. And the one CMC game Wilks had with CMC technically brought his overall rushing numbers down slightly. We won because we ran. We lost because we didn't. And when Rhule did run, it was a poo RPO heavy scheme. Which is why Wilks has significantly more production with inferior RBs.

I mean, techincally the punter gets credit. JJ gets credit. Shi Smith. Anyone that played rep technically gets credit. Sam gets what they get. If you actually had to rank in importance of how Wilks got his wins and salvaged a disaster. He minimized the QB play. He ran the ball. He played conservative. QB play isn't why we won. We had bad/weak QB play and Wilks managed games around that fact.

I guess you are choosing to wait on that instead of addressing how he isn't average. Which was your declaration. Despite it being statistically untrue . Nothing average about 50 something completion rate in today's NFL. Corral hasn't played a NFL snap. You know, hurt developmental rookie and all. Which somehow you are trying to pretend is comparable to verified busted Sam Darnold.

Darnold had the 2nd worst completion % of his career this year. And it's a bad career. He didn't break 175 yards in half his starts. We had some of the best rushing numbers in franchise history once Matt Rhule got fired. That's why we won some games. Nothing to do with who played QB. Wilks won in spite of QB play. Which he should get some respect for. This Sam Darnold talk is about is crazy as those folks who were pimping Matt Rhule as good entering this year. Just fantasy talk. Or just bored trolling. Which I get given there isn't much else to do I guess.

But he isn't. That's the point. Nothing average about being a below 60% completion QB in the modern-day NFL....while not being a game changing running QB. and Sam isn't a 60% compeltion QB. Not this year. Not last year. Not the year before. Not over his career. Average in today's NFL is like 65%.

Corral - raw potential Sam Darnold - worst starting QB in the NFL over the last half decade. These 2 thing aren't the same.
