I’ll be honest. I am not sold on Rhule just yet. Some of these decisions he has made, I am not comfortable with. Tepper made a mistake by signing this guy to that big contract with no nfl experience. That’s just my thoughts .

I worried about that too.

Frankly, so far, that worry has not been dispelled.

if Darnold flames out, we're at the point he has to draft his guy, whomever that may be, and that guy has to succeed, or we have to move on.

I get the "potential" aspect of the signing. In fairness, for every glaring red flag, we also see some real strengths. 

Ultimately it will just boil down to how quickly he can navigate the NFL learning curve. I think he can be a successful NFL head coach, but will it be in this stop?

If you go back over the past preseason games, most 1rst teamers don't play more than a series or two until the 3rd preseason game and then it's usually only a half.  It's not like this is anything new.  It's not like Darnold was the only starter held out.  Preseason doesn't mean poo and it's really just a glorified training to sell tickets.

The offseason fluff about Slye's physique looks so ridiculous now. All that matters is can he make a kick when it counts. With Sam and the way the team is handling things it's so comical I'm beginning to wonder if we're just being trolled. This talk about preseason not meaning anything is for teams that have actually had recent success. Are the Carolina Panthers a good enough football team rn that it doesn't matter? Back to back 5 win seasons tells you none of this means anything? There are some things to like but there are things that continue to haunt the team until proven otherwise.

I just really don't get it. It seems like they're actively trying to keep the fans from seeing him play. Every time we hear that he had a bad day, Rhule makes sure to throw the OL or WR's under the bus. It seems like they're trying to build up his confidence, but that poo is never going to work if he doesn't have on the field success.

The way this staff is handling Darnold the name on his jersey should be FRAGILE HANDLE WITH CARE. If they honestly believe his psyche is so damaged that he can’t be given extended playing time until it’s absolutely necessary then he shouldn’t be in the NFL.. tell me I’m wrong.

As for Slye, it’s mind-boggling that they gave him zero competition after his sub-par season last year. If we go into this season without someone else being brought in I’m going to be pissed.

The insecurity of this place is riddled with over reactions.

 

This place is acting like we are the only team in the NFL with a new QB that hasn’t put in any preseason snaps and the only team in the NFL where their third stringers get rocked.

 

breaking news: We aren’t.

I don't care how much people poo me. Sam Darnold this offseason is the most I have EVER seen a player be sheltered. I don't see how this can be good for us. If someone has a legitimate reason why Sam has only made 2 throws I'd love to hear it.

He's made more than that. Just not from your perspective.

By my count it's been reported he's had over 100 snaps against 2 teams 1st team defense, more if you count his own.  That's more than he would get in 8 preseason games let alone 3.  Just because you did not witness it does not mean it did not happen.   

Fans need to chill.

Exactly! How is this Darnold not playing more???

How is there not a completion for the QB position? Darnold has done NOTHING to deserve the treatment he is getting. This isn’t some established veteran that doesn’t need reps. The Ravens not playing Lamar Jackson, I get it. Dude is an MVP caliber QB. Darnold has stunk it up his first 3 seasons. That is not a recipe for a winning team.

There is not a competition for the QB spot because our other 2 options suck. Darnold's talent level is miles ahead of Grier or PJ. We do not have another legitimate starting QB on our roster. 

Would it be nice to see more of Darnold in the games? Sure, but the coaches are happy with the work he is getting in joint practices.

Maybe if tis staff does not work out some of you guys should throw your hat in the ring when the new hiring process begins.

And that’s the whole point of creating this post. Not bringing in competition for Darnold is a huge mistake. Coddling him like he’s already an established starter isn’t a good idea. Not having a backup plan in case he fails will get people fired (hopefully)

      I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.

      I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years.

      He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
