Sorry but even his Jets' performances were better than Teddy's here, how they have Teddy about Sam I don't understand. But whatever, it means nothing. 

The author of the list said he's a fan of Teddy and he actually wanted to put him even higher.  I think anyone who is talking about a QB who says the words "I am a fan of Teddy Bridgewater" instantly loses any credibility for taking their "list" seriously.

His numbers since being in the league safely puts him at the bottom.

If he were still the starter for the Jets everyone here wouldn't bat an eye at this ranking. 

He needs to prove himself. It's not like pundits have some vendetta against him. 

With regard to the preseason game, his numbers looked good, but I don't think anyone watching the game felt like Sam was exerting his will over the steelers second team outside of the two minute drill. 

Let's hope he turns into the guy who was drafted third overall and someone we traded for and committed two years to despite his history.

How long did the second team actually play though?

Oh, and how about the Steelers using a FB to on 3-16, to get a pass rush that causes a fumble...remember alot of guys Darnold faced off with are no longer on the team. I kid about the FB, it was a LB but a 3rd stringer...

I get the feeling Darnold is going to be fine here. I'm more worried about the line in front of him than his abilities on display. 

We had another guy once who was all but a washout in the league when he got here, but he turned out to be one of the greatest Panthers ever. QB'ed us to our first Super Bowl in his first season and damn near won it.

I'm not sure Darnold has the same amount of moxie that Jake Delhomme had, but if he can find at least half that in him, we can go far. Good luck kid, we'll be rooting for ya!

This is my favorite line in there… under Zach (who he has at 20 lmao)

“just look at how Wilson's predecessor in New York, Sam Darnold, struggled against backups in his preseason work this year in Carolina.” 
 

i must have missed where 19/25 and 2TD is “struggled”. Did this clown even look up stats before writing this…?

 

 

Thats what I am failing to understand - Sam only played 1 half of football and completed 76% of his passes for 160 yards, 2 TDs and 0 turnovers.  In what world is that "struggling"? If thats bad, I will take bad every single game. 

That would only be 5440 yards and 68 TDs if he played at that pace all season.  LOL.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
