They talk a lot of crap against Panthers in general. I think they’re really hoping Darnold doesn’t turn it around with the Panthers so they can feel less miserable as a fanbase.

I didn't mind the signing but I thought we way overpaid.  I'm not sure what the Bills gave for Trubisky but we should of gave less because he is considerably better than Darnold. Hoping for the best.

It probably came down to opportunity.  I'm sure they turned over every stone looking who was realistically available that fit whatever Brady has concocted for this offense.  Honestly either option is a crap shoot as a place holder, which I think is the leash they have Darnold on. 

From what they are publicly saying about what Darnold cost them its been recouped.  Even if you don't buy that and hold it cost a second it's no different  than all the second round picks blown in the past.  It was always going to cost a season to find out so either way its not a franchise breaker despite what the Fields worshipers will tell you.

If he can just be better than Teddy he may get another year to audition for another contract.  Otherwise he will follow Teddy out the door.   Only we will be more battle tested when the draft rolls around. Which I can't wait for now since you know who that won't be named is exercised from the building. 

Dare I say that I feel better about the future of this team? Regardless of whether Darnold succeeds or flops the team as a whole is getting better.  That in itself gives me hope.

He listens to the coaches, which is the main thing.

He can be trained to hit those underneath passes Bridgewater was fond off. The make or break part of his career in Carolina is whether he hits those shot plays they call.

He was a free agent, they gave up nothing.  Bills did a 1 year deal for 2M.

    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
