 Well. that's not good.

First off, hello!  I'm new here.  🙂

Now that said, The Jets were no good.

What did you expect?  

 

That franchise is a dumpster fire and for Sam to even have a PLUS-.500 RECORD after 3 seasons overall over there, speaks volumes.

He'll do great here.

@iamhubby1, you know what?

 

Forget I mentioned that record.   I did not do proper research.   

 

I meant to say that for Sam to even have a PLUS- .500 TD to INT ratio after 3 seasons overall over there, speaks volumes.     LOL.

 

Welcome aboard. I hope you enjoy your time here.\

 

Out of Sam's 38 starts, he has 28 games with 1 or fewer INTs. I think I can live with that.

I looked it up. He has 28 games with 1 or fewer INTs. 3 4INT games, 3 3INT games, and 4 2INT games.

 

I was expecting worse.

 

If we can get Good Sam the majority of the time. We just may be alright.

The roster is now middle of the pack imo. I would put our record at around 8-8 given the talent we have right now. Where are we lacking? The problem area is the offensive line. Look at the LT position. The interior of the o-line has guys who fail to protect the QB in critical situations. You can't have that and expect the playoffs. Doesn't work that way. If we make the playoffs, then it's because Darnold played lights out.

We certainly have enough talent now to be in more games, and win more close games. 8-8ish is the expectation and anything worse would be injury related or Darnold pooping the bed.

The next draft should focus on a proper LT and a LG to pair with our future RG Deonte Brown. Also possibly a better center, and a pass rushing DT. Add those pieces in the next draft and you have a playoffs team assuming Darnold is at least average.

I think Sam makes more big plays than Teddy.   I think he makes more negative plays too.  Will just have to see what that looks like. 

I think Darnold being more capable than Teddy moving the ball downfield and CMC being healthy will propel this team into the playoffs.

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
