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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
