How is this the same tried bs though? Or are you just talking about being critical of Rhule?

I just think it is an odd enough call to question Rhule on it.   He is very green so things are going to happen.   

Not thinking your 24 year old QB who is brand new and hasn’t been a very good QB to date….doesn’t need preseason game 1 or 2 is unusual enough to call out IMO. 

I mean, the case could be made Sam is once again not being out in the best position to succeed.  His QB room sucks.  His OL sucks.  And now we are holding him out of game simulation reps which isn’t the norm for someone like him.  I know I know….great weapons and Joe Brady.  Those are great things he hasn’t had.   But some of Sam’s issues have always been Sam.  

My take is that one or two series in a meaningless game is not worth getting upset about. The Colts and Panthers went at it pretty hard. I expect there to be some fight and penalties this Sunday. The offense hasn't been fully installed and the starters just practiced for 4 hours against the Colts. So I don't see the problem in waiting until week 2. We may or not have a worthwhile backup which we need to find. So both guys will get plenty of action against a good team and we need to nail down our backup wide receivers.  Other than the disappointment of not seeing him play, what is the big deal? No argument I have heard to start him is very convincing so far..

I don’t think there really is one. It’s all the staff’s preference and not too relevant until game 3 when they are getting in sync fir the regular season. We still don’t even know who our starters are on the offensive line yet…. I think us fans are just trying to find something to discuss this early in preseason.

But there are compelling reasons to get PJ and Will work to see what they can do. And to see guys like CJ in action to determine if he is the real deal. Frankly I am glad the starters are sitting. I haven't heard or seen much of the starters let alone the backups.

We aren’t winning the Super Bowl this year so let’s keep working on developing our team with our coach who is known for turning teams around in a short period of time.

That's why I'm not too concerned with the record this year, history says he doesn't have a winning season until about the 3rd year, but that was College..... COLLEGE FOOTBALL VS NFL...

Yep the 3rd year has been his sweet spot. The players seem to be buying in to the culture. Some progression this year would definitely go a long way. Fair point about college vs NFL.

Stafford isn’t playing with his new team in preseason game 1. Who does McVay think he is?!?!

Rams are a win now playoff team that added a strong veteran QB to hopefully put them over the top. 

we are a 5 win team trying to rehab a young bust QB

these two things are not the same. 

overall NFL coaches are repping guys like Sam Darnold.    Rhule is against the grain here.  That is what it is.   You can be cool with Rhule not doing what experienced NFL coaches are doing.  Maybe he is smarter than them.  But it remains something fair to point out.

Are you mad at other teams that sat out their QB1?

 

Are you just mad because Rhule does things differently?

 

Or are you mad because Sam will miss a handful of snaps. In a meaningless Pre Season game?

 

You are willing to risk injury. In a week 1 Pre Season game. And I think it's fair to call you out on that.

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
