I would hope not. We are so deep at WR that I would rather get looks at those guys to make the best roster decisions possible. 

No Robby and no DJ and we probably don't see Darnold either, per Rhule's semi-vague comments.

I'd probably rather see our first team offense preview than a battle for the 4th through 7th WR spots with PJ and Will Grier.

That is a good point. 

I'd really like to see Darnold and I forgot about Rhules statement.

Putting him out there with less than ideal conditions would be better in the long run if they really want to see if he can be the guy.

100%.  Any moment he could find himself in less ideal conditions.    You can’t predict health.  Guys could get banged up week 1 in the first quarter.  That’s the NFL.

We all see the OL, these are not likely to  be ideal conditions from Week 1 through Week 17.

That said, I am not on this "HE MUST PLAY IN THE PRESEASON" bandwagon either. I just think the idea of "ideal conditions" is something that isn't real in 2021. Whether he takes the field today or not until Game 1, he's gonna get heat and we will see who he is. If the plan is to protect his health or his psyche, that stuff is going to get exposed no matter what. 

If his is likely to break in Week 2 of the preseason, it isn't going to be any less likely to break in Week 1 of the regular season. He is who he is at this point.

My opinion leading up to the draft after they traded for Darnold was to give him a chance without having to look over his shoulder. They did that and didn't bring in another QB. Now it's time to see if he can do his part. Yes, it's preseason and the games "don't matter", but it is still a game situation and not practice which will give a good idea of where he is at when the defense doesn't have to pull up.

The Oline is liable to make the Titanic look like a pleasure cruise.

Joking aside,  I agree with you for the most part. I think getting more reps in the new system will help Darnold more in the long run as will actual game situations, but if doesn't play, he doesn't play.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By panthers55 · Posted

      Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      By Jon Snow · Posted

      The Rams wanted to trade up for Williams who they ended up within the end. They even told him that when they called him to let him know he is the pick. The other teams are only an assumption. Like the Cowboys, who took a guard. The truth is the team wanted to trade down first and foremost but couldn't get an offer the were happy with. They took McMillan because they felt he was bpa at 8 plain and simple.
