"Darnold needs to start!"

*Darnold starts. Plays well*

"Well, it was against backups!"

The Huddle is full of morons. You guys are clowns.

Right ? We didn’t have mccaffrey there our online looked fine after every time we gashed in the run. Get this team rolling and the o line is not a problem cause of these playmakers . Tough but poo we wanted penei it takes time to sort things out but you have to be excited or your just never going to be . Remember people didn’t start rooting for the panthers until we were legit 13-0

All it takes to be a hair better than Teddy, and I'd call it more than a hair, is to score in crunch time. Inside the 20 score TD's, finishing two minute drives and not crapping the bed on EVERY game winning drive... yes, I think that would make him quite a bit better than "can't finish" Teddy.

Exactly, I think teddy is the floor. That was the analysis I felt to be accurate. 

Although he could be alot worse if turnovers become a problem. But I think he does better

I was really impressed with the two minutes drill to finish the half.  He was decisive in making throws, which is fantastic to see.  Having CMC out there is going to change how defenses approach our offense.

I don't care about the stats except for turnovers and improving in the red zone.  If Darnold can improve in those area, it's going to be a pleasant surprise!

Everyone is talking about the TD to Anderson because, well, we didn't see much of that last year and it was beautiful. But it was the 1st TD that impressed me more. We fought to get down there. Then, a quick, short pass to Marshall in a crowd and 4 lineman truckin' into the end zone with him. OMG, yes. At no point did Darnold give up.

The O-line played better than I expected and, yes, I'm encouraged by Darnold. CMC will be back, Darnold will find that rhythm with his receivers and they will trust him. It's not all rainbows and unicorns but it's looking up. We finished the half strong; let's see if we can finish games too.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
