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. 

Except I am excited for Sam. I think we had an excellent draft and he’s set up to succeed here and it’ll be better than Teddy. I didn’t know we couldn’t point out that a receiver had to slow down on a play against the wind. I’d say the same thing for Teddy, or Kyle Allen, or even Cam. Sorry.

I think people should be excited about Sam. It’s not a big deal, just explaining how your post came off to some. I’m not the only poster who read it that way.

You had a valid point....a throw like that, if not in stride, can get your WR injured.  But it is only May, these guys need to gel, sometimes it takes more than a few practices.

There will be plenty of opportunities to microanalyze every throw and catch when camp rolls around. This is one of the first throws he has made and they are wearing street clothes. Be glad we are getting any nuggets at all in May with all the limitations.

And we were watching a tik tok video of an awkward angle and couldn't see what happened and have no idea what they were trying to do. Most likely warming up for all we know or trying to hit a spot.

If you find a negative in that clip it's because you wanted to

I see it. I appreciate the back and forth.

He had to slow up a little. Darnold needs to build as much chemistry as possible with the WRs as quickly as he can. The NFCS is going to be brutal this season with Atlanta adding Pitts to their other weapons, the Bucs being SB level good, and the Saints being loaded even with a QB change.

The Saints are going to be garbage. Brees made that team. 
 

The Falcons are going to be the Falcons. If Darnold is able to live up to expectations this team will be competing with TB for the South.

I disagree.  The Saints lived off their defense and run game last year.  By the end of the season, Brees didn't have much left in the tank, especially after the injury.  The question for them next year will be if Winston is going to be feast or famine like he was at Tampa, or can the Saints coaching staff turn him into an effective qb?

    • So happy that LaMelo got the layup to go and *won* the game. How happy he was after the game, that's what a young dude like him needs to keep it going and keep the belief going. If we lose, LaMelo gets blamed, and he's got an offseason to be in his head and hear the noise like the last few years. The season might still have an ugly ending, but weirdly feels like last night was HUGE for this team moving forward.   
    • My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
