Overall I think he was impressive.  I think in the 2nd half he missed a couple of throws that may have put some pressure on him but after NYJ go their first score Darnold marched the Panthers down to scoring postion and got us up by 2 scores again.

Gotta get that O-line in shape though.

He was a warrior standing in the pocket and making throws at the last moment.  I was overhall happy with his preformance.

Looked mostly like a pretty savvy vet out there.  Cool.  Calm. Collected.

Good arm strength. 

Accuracy was a bit off but I think that will come through with more reps & gametime.  

All in all a fine first game.

Loved that QB draw.  Don't know if that decision was his or Brady's with no Safety deep.  But that's what good teams do - make the D pay for their mistakes.

low tier game manager, but at least he's only being paid like one

can you explain this take? the way he took hits, bounced back from mistakes, demonstrated significant arm strength, etc... didn't strike me as a game manager.

it is true our offensive philosophy is dink and dunkish, but that's partly because of the atrocity that is the OL.

Playcalling was very up and down.

Brady needs to adjust.  It was obvious that Salah made some defensive changes at halftime and Brady didn't seem to adjust.  His best play was the misdirection with DJ Moore which is something I think they should have done more of.  Get that defense second guessing again.  

They obviously were targeting CMC.  We have other weapons and Brady IMO didn't use them enough.

I agree.  Somehow, Moore had 80 yards receiving, but it felt like he wasn't being utilized enough.  Robby had that one deep bomb... Just need to get these WRs more involved in the game somehow.  The one 2nd half drive that yielded points saw a lot of nice efforts to get WRs the ball in space.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
