Allen is the most stunning NFL success story I may have ever seen. It's difficult to overstate just how raw and inaccurate he was as a passer in college. The development he's made as a passer is nothing short of stunning.

Man, where did they find his quarterback coach? 🤔

If you would've drafted Fields at #3 and passed on him at #8 because of trading a 2nd round pick and a couple of mid-rounders for a former bust, oh wee the fug mayne. Successful organizations draft QBs in the 1st with aging MVPs in the roster.

Had that discussion previously...

The notion that you could like a quarterback well enough that you'd have drafted him with the #3 pick but you pass on that same quarterback with the #8 pick is one of the silliest things I've ever seen.

For pretty much any team, a guy that they like well enough to take high dropping to them at a far lower spot is such amazing good fortune that you'd run to the podium to get the pick in.

Yeah, I'm giving us the benefit of the doubt and assuming we simply weren't that high on Fields. Because if we would've drafted him at #3 and made the trade for Darnold because we didn't think Fields would be there then passed on Fields when he did end up being there at #8... wow. We'd be really dumb.

Except that bolded is not what was originally stated. 

 

This is @AU-pantheroriginal post: "If we had lost to WFT and were picking 3rd, do we still trade for Darnold?  Would we have picked Horn at 3 over Fields if we don't have Darnold?  I can't say for  100% we would have."

 

You will note, there is no mention of pick #8 anywhere in that quote.

 

That bolded part was Linville Gorge's response. He obviously missed the mark. 

 

I just don't think it's fair to @AU-pantherto keep perpetuating this misquote.

Had cam for what 6 years and got 0 improvement year to year. 2 years with allen and hes the MVP(should have won in my book). Coaching up players..... depends on the players at times......I heard he played a Ricky Phrol role, more of his buddy and never coached him with a heavy hand. The staff was scared to upset the Icon, minus one dumbass tie on airplane deal. RR was a bad leader for Cam and Ken followed his lead some. All are to blame, including Cam too given what happened at panthers north.... One of the greatest coaches in history - "great men want to be coached ".

If Deshaun Watson and Justin Fields are the top 2 most referenced names here for 2021 Adam Gase has to be a close 3rd. He's like Beetlejuice. Can we officially shoo him away for good when Sam throws his first official pass of preseason?

Sure. If we can do the same for Deshaun and Justin.

Dorsey not having the same success with Newton that he's had with Allen has a lot more to do with their respective head coaches than it does Dorsey himself.

Rivera didn't let Dorsey be a real QB coach. He made him into more of a buddy.

Not to mention the lack of thorough TC coverage. I hope this eventually goes away and we allow more coverage of the team again. 

Seriously. TC is basically uncoverable right now. We get maybe a dozen tweets and a few pictures from the grassy knoll each practice and that's pretty much it.

Plus in reality, Mayock isn't in charge of sh-t.

Everything in Las Vegas goes through Gruden.

This needs to repeated more, Chucky has ALL the power and final say. He hates rookies and much prefers vets. Mike was to be the ying to Chucks yang, but nothing but yang is going on. Over-rated as any HC in NFL history. Found a owner with the thinking hes the one above all and still living off a tdungy SB roster win. Wish he was still fuging up TB as HC, joke of HC, great on the mic tho....

    • If you draft a guy who is healthy and has no concerns about that whatsoever and he goes out and tears his ACL in his first few games in the regular season on a physical play that's a freak accident. But when you trade up to draft an RB who is already rehabbing from a recent ACL tear and he spends the next several months continuing his rehab only to tear the same ACL again after less than a handful of regular season carries in a non contact circumstance that is no freak accident. That is a textbook example of why you do not do what we did. Particularly for what is now a plug and play position. And when you have the highest paid OL in the league over the next two years. None of that makes any logical sense. Legitimately it is and was some Scott Fitterer type foolishness. Now as for XL. The guy has not been committed to his craft. I think anyone with eyes on the situation can and would recognize that. However the warning signs were there. One season of legit production raw prospect that we knew would take time to develop etc. But Morgan and Bryce Young's own father were very high on him. I think in some capacity the reality of our limitation at QB is entering into the equation. Even TMac got a lot of flak over the course of his rookie season for not being able to haul in all of Bryce's passes. At the end of the day our fourth year QB also needs to do his part to maximize the talent we have available. As far as this year. Again. WR round 1 boils down to where are we going to get the touches for the rookie? That would require eating into not only our 8th overall picks touches but also our #2 WR whom oh yeah by the way was UNDRAFTED. I am happy to discuss WR prospects here. I was thrilled we invested what we did last year in TMac because it needed to be done and it made sense from all angles. But nowhere is it written in stone that you cannot draft a good or great WR outside of the first round. Except in the Panthers building apparently. That is not a good reflection on our scouts and front office let me tell ya. Because there's no way on this earth we are going to get back to relevancy and legitimate contender status if we can't pick some gems in the later rounds. Simple and plain.
    • This is pretty accurate our offense needs more juice. I love Cooker but he’s not enough XL ummm we’ll see this year hopefully the third year WR thing hits him and he plays better but still not enough. Honestly we need look at the Eagles they just adds Wicks and Hollywood Brown to that core. That shows the level of talent needed to compete at a championship level this coming season. And this below is the real problem KC doesn’t seem to add that much to our offense. We Makai Lemon or defense at 19
