If you don't trust this staff to evaluate a QB (which is completely understandable given the two they've chosen so far) then you gotta clean house and start over.

If we think there's a potential franchise QB on the board, FUGING DRAFT HIM. When you need a QB you don't have the luxury of picking and choosing the absolute perfect timing. When the opportunity presents itself you have to jump. When you're sitting through everyone else's trash can to try to find the answer at the most important position in the game, that's exactly what you're likely to find - trash.

It's the way the offense is signaled. Most college spread offenses do it. It's no different than the old lifting of the leg.

Watch the last two seasons. He rarely ran at all. It's just been out of sheer necessity this year.

If you're a grown ass adult getting in a physical fight over sports fandom, you need to reevaluate everything about your life. It's not because of any "adult" atmosphere or *GASP!* promoting beer sales. It's because some people are classless pieces of poo with room temperature IQs.

The oddest stat by far to me is that this team has won 4 games.

Chip Kelly was having success until he wrestled full control and then it all fell apart very quickly. Very few are cutout to wear both the coach and the GM hat. It's just too much on one person's plate.

I was all in on trading for Watson until... well, you know.

I'd feel bad for Darnold if it wasn't for the money he was making. I'll gladly embarrass myself on national television on the football field for those checks.

Tepper. He's the one who went all in on Rhule and handed a college coach full control of football operations from jump street.

Gotta start shopping in the right aisle. You're highly unlikely to find the QB in the bargain bin where we've been shopping the last two years. Paying them too much or trading too much for those bargain bin QBs aren't gonna make them any better.

This is what Tepper and company replaced the "Keep Pounding" chant with. No bullshit. They play this exact clip and expect people to pound their chest. It's super awkward and people just look around like WTF?

Bingo

Beware the one year wonders. Joe Burrow is an anomaly largely created by a dramatic shift in offensive scheme his final season.

Figure out which QB Rhule and company like then bet the farm against that poor guy. These guys can't evaluate QBs. That's how you end up with Teddy and Darnold.

I pegged Darnold as a bust that year, but then again I also thought Josh Allen was gonna bust too. The strides that guy has made as a pure passer is just amazing.

Yep. All those pending FAs who are actually good will end up being re-signed or at worst franchised. Good QBs simply don't hit FAs unless they're old or have significant injury concerns.

Apple? Bro, this is Radio Shack.

OL is really important and this staff hasn't gotten the message. We spent a ton of money bringing Joe Brady here but we haven't given him much to work with at QB and in the trenches. We have great weapons, but trash at QB and trash at OL. It's like spending a ton of money on a race car driver then putting him in a clapped out F150 with nice tires and wheels and wondering why you're not winning races. Well, no poo you're not winning races. Same thing with Brady and the offense. If you suck at OL and you suck at QB, you're gonna suck on offense. Just no way around it. I'm not absolving Brady of any and all blame, I'd just like to see what the guy we thought was a wunderkind could do if we gave him something to work with.

He's better than Darnold for sure. This staff was just done with him when he threw them under the bus blaming them for getting the play call in late so that he couldn't audible to a running play when he sailed it over the head of a wide open DJ Moore in the endzone. And honestly? I can't blame them. I would've been done with him too.

I just think he flat out doesn't know what he's doing running an NFL team. Moving money around to make wealthy people even wealthier is a lot different than running a football organization.

I'm not opposed to just flat out firing him because despite posters calling me negative and not a Panthers fan, both Teddy and Darnold turned out exactly how I said they would. It wasn't hard to predict. They are what they are. I really thought having Teddy fail would've shown them that you can't rely on reclamation projects, but no. They just doubled down and went with the polar opposite type of reclamation project. From smart but physically limited to physically talented but not mentally cut out for the NFL.

They quit in the second half.

You gotta try something. You can't trot Darnold out there again after today. The team will completely quit on him.

IMO, NOT pulling him is throwing in the towel. We are running the most bland, vanilla offense imaginable just to try to avoid the QB turning the ball over and yet Darnold is still turning it over in droves.
