He is playing better than Darnold with a shitty line also. The difference is Fields (in theory) should be much better as the season gets better and the game slows down for him.

The most frustrating thing is how we went "all in" on Darnold. Having a rookie or a decent vet backing him up just in case would have been ideal. It's too important of a position to rely solely on an unknown or previously bad player. The way we were able to get Henderson and Gilmore for so cheap, the emergence of Taylor, and DJax having a carrer year kind of looks like Horn was more of a luxury pick. I know hindsight is 20/20 right?

His first game was bad, but he has been better each game after even with Nagy. Rookies throwing INTs is one thing, but QBs that have been in the league for years is frustrating…

I saw it say complete to S Smith on my app and and I got a small tear in my eye…

Bench him for who? We have no other options…

He still would play better than Miller injured….

What the hell people? We aren’t losing this game! Panthers find some rhythm on offense and win 28-20. I want to read some optimistic fan takes! CJ Henderson is going to get a pick after starting to get comfortable in this defense. Also Burns is due a sack or two. Let’s go Panthers! You all better keep pounding!

He definitely seems to be playing decent when I watch. I kind of wonder how many pressures he would give up if our interior was better. If the defense is getting through the middle instantly and getting sacks/pressures that is less opportunity for the tackles to give up a sack. It’s like being an average CB, but the other CB is awful and his guy is wide open so they never throw to the average CB’s man giving him good stats. This may all be considered in PFF already?

Honestly Erving hasn’t been terrible (or maybe Daley, Paradis, and Miller have made him look good). I keeping thinking Erving, Christensen, Paradis, Brown, and Moton are the way to go. Erving can be plugged in at LG, or LT and BC at RT or G with Brown taking the other guard spot. Paradis would still be there, but maybe he gets better with better guard play? I really want to get a fair evaluation of Darnold with decent protection before the offseason…

I mean both Miller and Paradis played better (not great, but better) last year. Something is off…

Yep. Give up the completion and make the tackle….

Andrews is on my fantasy team.

I don’t get it. Both Miller and Paradis played better than this last year… They weren’t great, but they weren’t God awful.

He also can’t cover…

Wait? Did our line play bad yesterday?

Agreed. Plus we are missing Shaq, Horn, and Burris…

A blocked point and 3 turnovers is a lot to put on a defense…

Moton, Erving, Elf, Brown, Christensen. If they are going to play that bad, get the rookies out. At least they will get better in theory…

I hope we don’t tie up too much money in the secondary. Jackson has played great, but our pass rush is going to make our secondary look better. Paying a bunch of corners vs Burns and Reddick would be a mistake IMO.

Honestly is because the other two were already proven. They had MVP seasons in this league and have proven they have what it takes to play the position at a high level for a full season. Sam has not done that yet.

If Darnold doesn’t pan out and Fields keeps developing, we need someone else evaluating QBs. Teddy was already a mistake…
