The Ravens are here. 

 

 

Matt Rhule has said the reason he wanted to have two joint practice weeks with different NFL teams was to give Sam Darnold a good amount of reps against other guys without the worry of getting hit. He felt this would be a good way to get Sam comfortable with the offense. Will it work?

I'm glad that we are playing good teams in preseason this year. Not only is our young team learning how playoff teams conduct business, but Coach Rhule is learning too. 

Playing down to your competition doesn't make you better.

We need this from coaches to players more than most NFL teams do. From top to bottom in the organization, we are green as hell and this type of stuff helps accelerate everyone's learning curve. It also gives the coaches a great look at our deficiencies and what needs to be improved on. 

I don't think this will necessarily pay off in a noticeable way this season but I think it will pay off in the coming seasons.

Why is he hiding Sam? Sam is going to get hit. Let the guy play football. He's protecting his biggest investment because as Sam goes, Rhule goes and they may follow each other out the door if Sam fails.

Rhule made a HUGE bet on Sam.

Being late August and a 17 game schedule is around the corner would it not be more prudent at this stage to get him used to live fire so to speak in this offense rather than trying to stage favorable scenarios for him? It seems like we are being more cautious with him than some teams with actual rookie quarterbacks.

We haven’t even finalized the starting O-line yet. Don’t put him back there until we at least know the best group to protect him.

The Colts did not play their starters so Rhule did not play starters. Fitt is the GM that traded for Darnold.

Are all our starters going to play against the Ravens and if so, for how long?

Rhule said he will let you know Thursday.  To date, only thing he has confirmed is that they would see the field in game 3

      Great point.    I would lke to add that there is another QB on the roster who was terrible over the middle--Kenny Pickett.

      I don't think this is the year for Carolina, unfortunately.  I think they will have to make a decision on the QB position-all we know is that Bryce has year 5, but a long term deal has not been signed--yet--and they would be smart to take a "wait and see" approach.  I have not kept up, and I see a path to upside for Bryce, but I do not think we have aggressively pursued a QB when our QB was mediocre to worse than mediocre.  yes, his numbers are improving--but he has adapted by eliminating what he does poorly and not improving on what he does poorly.  Just my take and I have no data to support this view.   Basically, we go as Bryce goes, so the approach is not to bring in a QB to have him compete until we find one, but it is to make Bryce as good as he can be--is that good enough? Season ticket holders buy the hope of winning rings, not winning 8 games. Last year, Bryce had a resurgence.  Take away TMac and Rico Dowdle.  How good was he?  I still have hope.  Not a hater of plan A, but a hater because we have no plan B.

      Yeah man, I've been here for a very very long time. Couldn't even begin to tell you what year. Maybe 2004 or 5? I've never really been super active, just enjoy reading everyone's opinions and discussions. I'll chime in from time to time. I have had a few different accounts over the years. It's always been a fun place for me to check in on my favorite team. Hopefully we can keep the place running for a long while still. I also would like to recommend bringing back the Lovely Ladies page!
