  1. 1. Which is the most likely scenario?

    • Gets beaten out as starter(rookie/Teddy/etc)
      0
    • He is who we thought he was(same inconsistent player - bust)
      11
    • Teddy 2.0(career highs in TD/Yards but still clearly a marginal NFL QB)
      16
    • Jake 2.0(not an elite QB but shows he can make us competitive)
      54
    • Adam Gase is QB Poison(Shows why he was the #3 overall pick - Franchise QB)
      14

i know predictions are fun for their own sake but i don't know how anybody can even reasonably make a prediction on this. it feels like a complete coin toss.

it's encouraging a decent nfl front office thought he was good enough to trade capital for

discouraging that he was like Plan E

who knows.

Exactly why I choose to be optimistic about it.  No one really knows how this guy will play with decent weapons and coaching.  Why not think he will be good, what's the harm in that as a fan.

Hard to say, but I'll play. 

It's a guess, but I'll be optimistic and say that Darnold's failures were mostly due to his environment. I can't state enough how much where they land plays a huge part in whether a QB succeeds or fails. 

Darnold is still oh so young. He has the physical tools necessary to succeed, and I'm gonna bet that he has the mental toughness to overcome all the foolishness of Adam Gase.

I have a feeling he’s going to be terrible. Darnold barely showed any flashes of being good for the Jets. But, he’s still very young and I hope that Rhule and co can coach him up. Bridgewater clearly wasn’t the answer. 
 

After this team beat Washington and took themselves out of contention to get the #3 overall pick and get Zach Wilson or Justin Fields, I knew it was going to be a bad offseason. I just can’t believe we’ve gone from Cam Newton to Sam Darnold. Getting harder and harder to be a Panthers fan these days.

Well, never say never. They said that it wouldn't happen in the free agency era, yet it did.

Without even looking, I can't even think of a consistent NFC team out side of that 3 year run by philly.  Really a one and done Superbowl should make all of us Panthers fans extremely happy.

2020 Sam Darnold was much better than 2015 Peyton Manning. That really isn't even a discussion. 

Their statistical production was nigh identical 

one was a legend with full mastery of the mental side of the game and still contributed to Denver’s team and a competent offense

the other is a never was and one of the biggest draft busts in recent memory who has captained some of the worst offenses in the league

not really the same thing

Green Bay has been a consistent team in the NFC. The Seahawks have been extremely consistent.

The biggest contribution that Peyton Manning exhibited in 2015 was to Brock Osweiler's pockets. In fact, Brock was a far, far, far, far better QB on that team in his 7 starts for Denver. 

Peyton was the worst starting QB in the NFL in 2015. Your memory must be of pre-2015 Manning.

The original comparison was Jake not sam,  but you changed the narrative. Jake in his Superbowl losing year was a better QB than Manning in 2015,  his legacy really doesnt matter on this situation

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
