If the huddle can make threads about the stats of the backup qb's, then sam darnold's stats should matter. same energy.

They only did that, as a way to highlight any negative stat they can find on PJ, some fans will never like the "mobile" QB... they'll claim Darnold's athletic... 😆

But the fact PJ is a topic is what scares them the most, they clearly don't have faith in Darnold, they looking at PS QBs... 😂

  • 4,150 yards
  • 32 TDs
  • 12 INTs
  • 67% completion
  • 11-6 record

I think our defense does some scoring, as well as our RBs and WRs on the ground. I really believe we can be good this year. I noticed Tepper saying, "Wait til we start airing it out.". So, I do believe he will get enough attempts to crack 4,000. Will that be majority "ball in the air" or "yards after the catch"? My prediction. It doesn't freakin' matter.

Then again, his job is not to convince *you* or any one of us that he's the guy.   He's supposed to convince Rhule, Brady, and Tepper that he's the guy.

And if they think he is while you don't, your viewpoint won't matter in the end.

 

Btw, 11-6 is a Guaranteed Playoff Berth, imo.

Then again, the question posed in this thread was:

 

How would you feel about our future with Sam Darnold going into next season?

Airing it out requires a solid offensive line.  I just don't think Sam will have enough time to take full advantage of his receiving weapons.  That is why I went with lower predictions than you.

I meant to reply to your post earlier.  What numbers would convince you that he is the future?

It does matter. In the NFL it is extremely hard to continuously gain yards after the catch without at least putting a few over the top. If you never beat teams over the top, they just keep cheating their coverage to stopping underneath more and more and YAC approach gets harder and harder. 

Darnold appears to have the arm to air it out and with our receiving corps he has the weapons. The question is, does he have an OL that can give him the time? With what we're starting the season, the answer appears almost certainly to be no. If Christensen and Brown develop quickly and learn the playbook unusually fast, perhaps by midseason that will start to change, but I for one do not really want to regularly test whether Cam Irving and Matt Paradis can give Darnold 3 or even 4 seconds in the pocket against a quality pass rush.

I'm not saying being able to beat teams over the top is not important. I'm just saying that if the majority of the yards ARE yards after catch, it will be fine. We seen last year how ineffective YAC can be if there is little threat for a deep play. Darnold has the arm to get it there. I agree with you though. If the o-line is incapable of allowing the receivers to get deep, then that is an issue. I'm leaning on the optimistic side, that the line will play better than we expect.

Honestly barring like MVP caliber numbers I'm not sure 1 year would completely convince me at all. If he had the numbers I posted except with like 10 or less interceptions and a bit higher completion % that could do it but in today's NFL you really can't have your QB throwing 1 pick per game over the course of a season and 62% would be pretty low too nowadays. I'd be (pleasantly) shocked if he puts up those TDs and yardage without throwing a lot of picks.

62% seems low but he is a gunslinger. It's unlikely he will ever be a Teddy/Brees/ rady-like completion percentage guy. Even in this offense.

60-63% for a true gunslinger is actually not too bad.

      I am really sorry  that  happened to you they say to never meet your sports heroes i have friends who met  mickey mantle when they were young and he was a belligerent alcoholic at the time  ut broke their hearts  I had the opportunity to meet and spend  time with Cam Newton.     He was the polar opposite of Steve Smith and his public image.   Polite.  Honest when asked question.  You could tell the things that mattered to him and the things that  didnt. The disappointments in himself and the things that hurt him  those qualities make him quite a good interviewer too  i genuinely liked him   Im sure as young, rich, sports hero, he has not been a choir boy but there is goodness in him  the time i met him i took one of my friends with me from the west coast. She said she didn't like him and wasn’t enthusiastic about meeting him.  She left loving him   No one can say anything bad about ‘her Cam’ anymore

      So, after Sunday's game does that mean we're stuck with Bryce for the foreseeable future?

      Agree about oline. They've tried their best to improve that area. But honestly, has it looked like the most expensive oline in the NFL to you? Not just with Bryce. With Dalton's one game where they almost got the old man killed.  Also YAC shouldn't always be hitting a guy in stride while he's running full speed. Pickens killed us after the catch and those weren't all hit-in-stride plays. I remember a play in Miami when a guy caught a 5 yards curl and took it like 30-40 yards to the house. We don't have that in Carolina. Horn might be the closest thing to that but he can't get significant PT for whatever reason. If Bryce keeps trusting his receivers to make plays, I think he'll become more consistent. Seemed like he only trusted TMac. And force feeding one receiver isn't sustainable. Defenses will start to blanket him and take him out of the game. And yeah, keep taking deep shots. I hate all that dink and dunk football. Hate it.

      Dan Marino sucked too I guess. Washed up Elway carried by Terrell Davis was actually better than prine Elway. Lol
