I'm not sure how you get that it was completely opened up. We attempted like 2 deep balls, maybe just 1. We just ran the ball super effectively. The turnovers and short fields got us our points. It was a great game and a team win but to say this indites anyone positively or negatively is a huge knee jerk reaction and you are just jumping to the conclusion that you want.

I dont think it was nesscesarily anyone's fault. I also dont think him coming back now means it was a mistake. At the time he was wanting an extension and he only had a year left on his contract. If we had kept him we would have given him a lot bigger contract than he is here now on. I think he overvalued himself a little at the time and his market after he was left humbled him some. I dont really think any mistakes were made on this road besides how it was handled publicly and personally but I dont think the actual decisions were wrong.

If he plays well they will offer another short term deal while they look for a qb for the future. Cam is a stop gap and with all the excitement for him coming home I hope fans keep realistic expectations for what they get out of Cam performance wise.

There is a difference in talking about him and his history as qb of the panthers and not realizing he is in no way the qb he used to be.

I dont think most people on here hate Cam. I feel like some people on here are just delusional about the degradation of his skills over the years. Be it because of his health or otherwise. He isnt the qb so many people here think he still is. You can not hate him and think those things. They arent mutually exclusive.

An aggravation of a broken bone?

Yea if they were really making something up they wouldnt go with a broken shoulder that he was questionable with a shoulder injury before the last game. It makes them looks terrible and they are going to catch a lot of heat for it and have a lot of questions to answer.

Broken throwing shoulder for a qb doesnt sound ideal...

He knew that and still called him out for having balls batted down. Which isnt fully on the qb anyway.

I dont think 2021 Cam is "clearly" better than these guys at all. Could he be? Maybe. It's not nearly as cut and dry as you all want to act. Father time Caught up with Cam rapidly as all of his strengths were worn away by time/injuries. The people who just remember 2015 Cam are never going to move on until he finally retires.

I've had enough of both of them.

What is up with our tackling today?

The announcers specifically mentioned after the play that no one was open at all.

Based on what?

The rb was right there. It was at McCaffrey's feet...

How was that grounding? It was right at Hubbard's feet.

Everyone knew our first offensive play was going to be a run up the gut with CMC including the Patriots. Why not use him as a decoy on the first play? Brady had no idea how to throw defenses off balance.

I think it just as much if not has more to do with the fact that the offensive line actually looks almost competent when run blocking. Unfortunately the same cant be said for pass blocking. I do think they should have went for a deep ball on one or two of those 2nd and 1 qb sneaks and that is another reason our offense and Darnold is struggling. Our offense is predictable. The coaching staff has no idea how to run a balanced offense to try to catch the opponent off guard or confuse them.

It is crazy how much we have regressed since the first few games. That partially has to point towards play calling and other teams getting film.

Let it go.

They heard the media say it once when criticizing Darnold so they are going to repeat it any time there is a hit on the football field.

Look at that, Sam literally placed the ball specifically in a place to try to prevent a hospital ball for Moore.

The people calling that a hospital ball are just repeating a term they've heard and have no idea what a hospital ball is. There is going to be a deep safety on most plays. He didn't lead him into it and he didnt have to reach or stretch for it. The safety came from deeper down field. In no way a hospital ball just a football play. They will happen from time to time.

Our offensive coaches have no idea how to run a balanced offense or how to be unpredictable. We are either pass happy or run happy and it puts us constantly in situations where the defense knows exactly what we are going to do.

You know enough about nfl football to know you have to maintain control going to the ground when youre out of bounds. If he had held onto it there would have been no question. You constantly bash Darnold when he deserves it, it's fair to say that was on DJ too.
