Darnold and DJ

[Kentucky Panther]

Finally a QB who can throw it further than 30 yards without it looking like wounded duck.  That pass looked extremely crisp.

Don’t mind people like that. He probably wouldn’t praise Darnold unless he threw a game winning pass in the Super Bowl. It’s perfectly fine for fans to be excited about their new QB.

I don’t even think Teddy could throw it 60 yards last year

If he could, he would still check it down for two yds with 6 to go for at first down.

Believe me, I get it....Sam has proven nothing in the NFL, on the contrary.  
 

Sam’s RS freshman year, he was not the starter, even though the buzz from the defensive players and the press about this amazing true freshman QB leading the scout team.  The coaches went with the 5* who waited his turn.  It was a disaster, the coaches were on the flaming hot seat.  In goes Sam, saves the jobs of the coaching staff.  That year, they just let him be Sam, didn’t stifle him, didn’t attempt to correct anything.

Sam’s final year, they announced a new offensive plan, to “help” Sam’s development, they called it the “gumbo” offense.  Disaster.  He was looking toward the sidelines every play, not letting him act on what he saw from the opposing defenses.  I can assure you, that is one of the reasons he declared early.  The entire offensive staff ended up getting fired.

The Jets was an even greater nightmare.  They had not taken a single offensive player in the first two rounds in 10 years, Olinemen in the later rounds...seriously, who does that?  They’re supposed to be a professional football franchise. They pulled the same BS that the SC coaches did.  Why do you draft a QB with playmaking backyard FB abilities, and handcuff him?  With no weapons he can get the ball to?  Sam can be an offensive line’s best friend, because of his mobility.  
 

Not saying he’s going to be this amazing elite QB, but at least give him a chance to be who he is, while coaching him up.  He has weapons now, good ones, and an elite RB.  Just let him do plays like this...again, with Robby.

 

If there is any fanbase prepared to watch a QB run for his life and improvise, its us.  We watched a guy do that all the way to the MVP.

 

edit: And that guy didn't have Anderson/Moore/McCaffrey

He is no Cam Newton in that regard, but he can buy you time. Unfortunately, Sam has a chance in Carolina that Cam never had..,just as Wilson gets the chance Sam never had in NY.  Just pisses me off that Alijah Vera Tucker was drafted by the jets.  Our fanbase wasn’t happy either. All of us are happy for Sam.  We hope he lives up to the faith his new coaches and organization has in him.  
 

Fight On Sammy, you finally have an honest to goodness pro team behind you.

Completely respect that. I’m looking forward to it as well.

People like me? When Teddy deserved praise, I gave it. When he was trash, I called it out. I’m looking forward to Darnold being the QB here. This was a poor take.

If you were the person pooing on someone for being excited about Sam, then yes, you. If you weren’t doing that, then no, I wasn’t talking about you.

Pooing? I said the WR slowed down at the end. That’s not anything other than a fact. The guy you quoted, was quoting me.

Your post to me came off as a shot at people that are excited about a new QB. Critiquing a practice throw in May is a little much, wouldn’t you say? Who cares if fans are excited about Sam. Your post came off like you do.

It's exactly what he was doing and it's what the cool kids on the huddle do to get pie from each other

You can see what’s going on.

If Sam spends the year making big plays like this and learning his role within the offense and taking what defenses are giving him I'll gladly take that. There will be mistakes along the way but for now I just want to be competitive again and not the doormat of the division.
