I have a lot more confidence in our WRs than I do in Sam Darnold. They may have had a rough day as a unit, but Moore and Anderson are proven NFL commodities. Marshall is a talented rookie. Smith is a promising rookie. If Darnold doesn't deliver this season, I highly doubt it'll be because of our WR corps.

Let’s not turn this thread into an OL thread, ha!

I wouldn’t classify this as a summary at all.  Were the incompletions simply closely contested?  Were they bad throws?  How many were indeed drops?  Was a majority of the incompletions on deep balls, or short and intermediate routes that are easier to connect on?  There’s a lot of info missing here.  Regardless, it’s practice.

In the actual Practice thread, I kept reading "Drop", "Drop", "Drop" with an occasional "misfire"(Overthrow).

But...interestingly enough...No INTs.  🤔

trade for watson

The guy who's about to be indicted by a grand jury while also being the subject of an FBI investigation and who would require crazy trade compensation to acquire?

Yeah, sure. I mean what could go wrong? 😕

It's more like a close practice...the offense was on the side of the field where few could see. 

Those are all valid questions, just like, was there another option to throw to? 

You can control a narrative when no one's looking and with that, it makes the preseason games very important, the eye test....beats whatever lie you trying to sell.

Seems the consensus now is that the issue was with receivers getting open and drops. That's going to happen some days.  There's hints some might not have put in the best effort today.

It's not all about Sam as coach only singled out receivers after saying the others practiced well.

How?!?!?

Were you at practice?  Do you know our offense and the calls like a coach would?  You realize how important it is for a receiver to run a precise route, yes?  A couple yards too short or a couple yards too long can make the pass look really wrong . . . and it may not be on the QB.

If the receivers were really at fault, he's placing the blame where it should fall.

Darnold will be judged on his performance in games that count.  Likewise will Matt Rhule.  Let's give them both the opportunity to play it out and see where we end up.  Knee jerk reactions like that aren't helpful.  Just like with Kyle Allen or TB5, you need more than just a few games of data to see the truth.

19-36, this is not great, I need my QB1 to be better.

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I wonder if they'd consider trading Rasheed Walker to a team that needs tackle help but missed out in the draft?

      LOL. This is such a Panthers fan take.  Anyone who falls to us must suck because some other team didn't take them before.  We got lucky with Lemon, Thieneman, and Freeling all falling to us (honestly any of the three is a A+) but the WR and S positions are much deeper than the LT position in this draft.  We got the LT w/ the most upside at 19.  Mauigoa played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the nfl.  Spano played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the NFL due to short arms.  Blake Miller played RT in college and is not as good as Freeling.  Proctor is a true LT but his ability to handle quick edge's worries me (see Icky).  Freeling is a true LT and a gifted pass protector.  Many think he has a very high ceiling and will benefit from not having to start right away.  This is how you build a franchise.

      After watching Cam get killed for years behind a bad Oline and having to watch the 2021 and 2023 Olines I will never complain about this team putting resources into that spot.  We got a true LT who could really push Rasheed Walker for the day 1 job. Go back and watch Iceky's draft profile from 2022 and all the talk was Ickey would be an all-pro guard in a zone blocking scheme, but he could play LT in a gap power run scheme. That's why Ickey looked really good when Wilks took over and we just started running gap run plays and just mauled people up front but under Canales we've been more of a zone running team. Ickey can survive at LT with his pass blocking but his true strength will always be his ability to just move guys in the run game and that's a skill set that's better used at guard.  Take another OT later on day 3 to learn from Moton to take over RT in a couple of years and let Walker and Freeling battle it out for the day 1 LT job then next offseason trade one of Hunt of Lewis and let Ickey move inside to guard.
